unable to get system library for the project on eclipse ide

Question

I was working on an android tutorial and it wanted me to import the library from another

Answer 1

This happens when you are targetting an API version that for some reason is not mapped on your buildpath.

1. See which is the version of the SDK you are pointing to at the project.properties file.
2. Go to the SDK Manager at Window->Android SDK Manager
3. Check the Android API item that matches the version you want to use, OR, click on the latest one and then update your project.properties file.
4. Make sure your project build configuration is Project->"Build Automatically"
5. Retsart Eclipse (claning and rebuilding may not refresh all the project properties)
