Answer 1

I had the same problem as you since I had updated the SDK. I have solved my problem by doing this (on eclipse) :

• Right click on the action bar sherlock library => Properties => Java Build Path => Order and Export tab => check android support v4 or Android Private Libraries and select Ok
• Right click on your personal project and go to properties => java build path => check Android Private Libraries
• Clean both projects, it should work.

Answer 2

I am new to stackoverflow. However this is my solution or experience here. I solved this by Project Properties--> 'Android' on the left Panel -->Add--> Select the required support library from the drop down menu-->'Apply'-->OK

This got it done. This worked even when 'Android Private Libraries' was unchecked from 'Order and Export' of Java Build Path.

Answer 3

In my case I'm using 2 Android libraries which require the android support library. The problem was that both libraries had different versions of the Android support library.

To resolve the issue: Right click on the library project => Android Tools => Add Support Library.

Repeat this action for each library.

Answer 4

Here is simplest solution:

Right click on your project folder -> Build path -> Configure build path -> Add External Jars(From libraries tab) -> select "android-support-v4.jar" file.

(It'll be located in Android SDK folder here is generic path "android-sdk\extras\android\support\v4").

After this clean you project and happy coding...

Answer 6

What worked for me was a little different than the solutions by @Sebastien and @FleshWound above in the thread.

• Copied the file "android-support-v4.jar" from /MyProject/libs/ and overwrote the one at /ActionBarSherlock/libs/android-support-v4.jar.
• Went to "Project Properties" -> "Java Build Path" -> "Add" -> ActionBarSherlock project.
• Clean project.
