Unable to import android support IntelliJ project

I am trying to build a JAR plugin for an android application. The plugin has two dependencies :

android AsyncTask which I have imported using maven (and looks fine) and android support which I am unable to import it correctly.

Specifically I need to import :

import android.os.Handler;
import android.os.Looper;
import android.util.Log;

When I make this call, android.os and android.util are red, as if they can not be imported.

I am importing android support by using the Project Structure / Libraries tab. I direct it to the android-support-v7-appcompact.jar file located in my android sdk folder. I have imported this library and included it as a dependency in my jar module.

What am I doing wrong ?

The thing is, you were trying to add Android's Handler or os.Looper from android without adding any libraries or...

in java, we can use : import java.util.logging.Handler; instead of android.os.Handler.

And as you said, you have to add that android.jar for supporting above imports into your java project.

I was mistaken. I did not need android support. What I needed was android.jar. This was located in %SDK%\platforms\android-23\android.jar
