Using holoeverywhere

Question

I am trying to install holoeverywhere to ADT using instructions from

https://github.com/Prototik/HoloEverywhere/wiki/Import-in-IDE#eclipse

Unfortunately this ends with:

No valid Android XML Editor Delegate found for file /HoloEverywhere Addon

The POM for com.google.android:support-v4:jar:r13 is missing, no dependency information available

And hundreds of other similar errors. I tried it several times from scratch, doesn't help. I suspect installation steps changed again... Is anyone able to help?

Nope (or not aware), just plain standard Google-provided bundled Eclipse+ADT – Pilocarpine

Which steps of the guide have you followed to install holoeverywhere? – Tiossem

Exactly these, starting with #eclipse anchor: github.com/Prototik/HoloEverywhere/wiki/Import-in-IDE#eclipse reading until "IntelliJ IDEA" – Pilocarpine

Answer 1

I just successfully installed HoloEverywhere on ADT, and this is what I did:

Part I

• Import the project from git following this instructions (for protocol use git)
• This will create four new projects in your package explorer: HoloEverywhere Addon Preferences, HoloEverywhere Addon Slider, HoloEverywhere Demo and HoloEverywhere Library. Leave open just the last one.
• remove HoloEverywhere/ActionBarSherlock/actionbarsherlock/libs/android-support-v4.jar
• Copy HoloEverywhere/library/libs/android-support-v4-r13.1.jar to HoloEverywhere/ActionBarSherlock/actionbarsherlock/libs/
• on Eclipse mark the Holoeverywhere Library project as Android library(is Library).

Part II

• File->import->Existing Android Code into Workspace. Import "HoloEverywhere/ActionBarSherlock/actionbarsherlock/". Now you have actionbarsherlock as a new project in your Package Explorer
• On Eclipse mark this project as Android library(is Library).
• On HoloEverywhere Library project Android properties add actionbarsherlock as library.

Part III

• On your Android project properties add "HoloEveryWhere Library" project as library.

Part IV

• Enjoy!

Sounds promising, but do you know what shall I do if I have already ABS in my project? – Pilocarpine

I think you can uncheck your current ABS as library from your project, and check it in the Holoeverywhere project. Then mark the HoloEverywhere as library in your project. – Reimer

i find myself needing to do this quite a lot, its a jar mismatch error i think. – Militate

Answer 2

The project holoeverywhere developers sometimes change project instructions, locations, etc. for better adaptting to platforms like eclipse.

You may have all possible problems as other people do, so in github there are lot of fixes and answers. Here is the link: HoloEverywhere issues
