I can not connect actionbarsherlock to the project

I downloaded .zip file actionbarsherlock of http://actionbarsherlock.com/download.html. unpacked. created a new project in eclipse from the source actionbarsherlock folder library. compiled for android 3.2-Google API. in the project properties android said checkbox is library. compile your project by android 3.2-Google API. open the project properties android, trying to add a library actionbarsherlock, apply, ok. but nothing happens. open the properties of their project and the library actionbarsherlock marked a red cross. using JRE 1.6. Can someone tell what I'm doing wrong or a good link to instructions? Sorry google translate

Put the library in your C:\ drive or the Operating System drive. Do not copy the workspace - I believe it would resolve the issue you're seeing. It really helped me after several hours of strife.

The library project must be on the same partition as your project. When you have them on the same partition, Eclipse adds the library using a relative path and it works.

Sounds like the path to the ABS library could be wrong. Steps are as follows.

1.) Start new Android project - From existing source

  • Use the JakeWharton-ActionBarSherlock-436230d/library as your source.

2.) Right click on the abs project - Select properties - Select Android

  • Make sure that, towards the bottom, the "is library" check box is checked.

3.) Right click on YOUR project - Select properties - Select Android

  • Click add
  • The ABS library should be listed in the box there. Select it and you now how it imported in your project.

Don't forget to include in your AndroidManifest.xml to set the style for each activity that will have the ActionBar you must add the following line: 

android:theme="@style/Theme.Sherlock"

One other thing. As far as I know, the ActionBarSherlock project must remain in your package explorer. Make sure that you aren't deleting it. That could be causing the path error.

Hope this helps!
