do you see the android-support-v4.jar in the projects libs folder? – Piecemeal

@Piecemeal yes i have that i have imported that one also by build path – Chapnick

then you error clearly says that is not the case . look at android-support-v4.jar from the support library under the sdk and add it to libs folder – Piecemeal

i have already imported android-support-v4.jar and added to the library – Chapnick

then you will not get the error that you have just mentioned. – Piecemeal

@Piecemeal see i have updated the code with a screenshot – Chapnick

@GauravPandey Attached image says that you are using wrong jar for v7. Actual path is <sdk>/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat/libs. Copy both jars from there – Empanel

@GauravPandey GridLayout is a library project and must be referenced just like google play services – Piecemeal

@GauravPandey did you reference or add it as a jar file? – Piecemeal

@Piecemeal what u said those import error are gone now it is showing This version of the rendering library is more recent than your version of ADT plug-in. Please update ADT plug-in – Chapnick

@GauravPandey update the adt plugin for eclipse – Piecemeal

@Piecemeal can we chat i have issue in this aap – Chapnick

@GauravPandey which chat room pls invite – Piecemeal

@Piecemeal i am not getting that option to invite for a chat in this question – Chapnick

@Piecemeal i am on the both chat – Chapnick

Answer 1

It looks like you have added gridlayout.jar to the projects lib folder.

Its a library project with resources. You need to reference the library project in your android projet

This library is located in the <sdk>/extras/android/support/v7/gridlayout/ directory after you download the Android Support Libraries.

Answer 2

had the same problem and found that the link in my project to the appcomcat_v7 project is broken (right-click project and choose properties, then head to the Android tab)...

i removed and then added the correct project and i was good to go...

Sorrel

For anyone that is curious, the real project is located in: sdk\extras\android\support\v7 – Noaccount

Answer 3

These type of Errors generally occurs when we accidentally close these libraries(by close unrelated projects,etc) which are automatically generated In Project Explorer of Eclipse like:

• appcompat_v7
• appcompat_v7_2
• appcompat_v7_3
• appcompat_v7_4
• appcompat_v7_5
• appcompat_v7_6
• appcompat_v7_7
• appcompat_v7_8
• appcompat_v7_9
• appcompat_v7_10
• appcompat_v7_11
• appcompat_v7_12
• appcompat_v7_13
• appcompat_v7_14

As soon as I open these files,all the errors in my app were vanished !

If It till then didn't work then do Project -> Properties -> Android -> Is Library -> Add.. -> And add appcompat_v7_*

I had a very similar problem to this after I had used force to close Eclipse.

When I then restarted Eclipse, I noticed a number of "appcompat_v7..." folders in my workspace directory. I deleted these - and maybe that was the cause of this problem.

But I resolved it by creating a new Test project in Eclipse, then restarting Eclipse to find all my projects compiled again! :)

I didn't need to change any project properties.

Answer 5

this solution worked for me:

The support library android-support-v4.jar cause this conflictand you see the error: The import android.support.v7.app.MediaRouteActionProvider cannot be resolved, just delete the library under /libs folder of your project, because the library is already contained in the library appcompat_v7, clean and build your project, and your project will work like a charm!
