Recent sdk-manager's download does not contain android-support-v7-appcompat.jar But the following dir contains aar file C:\Users\madan\android-sdks\extras\android\m2repository\com\ android\support\appcompat-v7\24.2.1\appcompat-v7-24.2.1.aar This file can be imported by right-click project, import, select general, select archieve and finally select aar file. Even this does not solve the problem. Later remove 'import android.R' and add 'import android.support.v7.appcompat.*;' Follow this tutorial for other details: http://www.srccodes.com/p/article/22/android-hello-world-example-using-eclipse-ide-and-android-development-tools-adt-plugin
