Using android support v7 widget CardView in my project Eclipse

Question

I d like to use the new CardView widget that was introduced with the new Android L Developer Preview Support Library  As mentioned here   which seems to be part of a new revision of the v7 support library   I have now updated my SDK version  downloaded the newest Support Library package  but I still cannot find the new CardView widget   I already searched the web and the official docs  but could not get any hints on where I can get the new support library   Any help is highly appreciated   EDIT  I m using ADT Eclipse

Maybe it s a little bit late to add answer here  But I think this answer will help the later ones and especially those who don t want to use Android Studio   Although the documents says that RecyclerView and CardView are part of v7 appcompat library  But as I tried and found  RecyclerView and CardView are actually depend on v7 appcompat library  So if you want to use RecyclerView or CardView  you need to add both v7 appcompat library and RecyclerView CardView   Referencing the link here  if you want to use CardView in your Eclipse android project  you need to import both v7 appcompat library and CardView into Eclipse workspace and make them as library projects  Then make CardView project depends on v7 appcompat library project and make your project depends on CardView project

I did what FD  said and it crashed with errors as it was looking for  Landroid support v7 cardview R styleable    which was not compiled with it  If you really want to use CardView before in eclipse before it gets its own library  you can extract the classes from the classes jar  copy and paste them into your project  with the values xml from above from Android Studio and change all the references to android support v7 R to yourpackagename R in the copied classes  This worked and ran for me

From  https   developer android com tools support-library setup html libs-with-res  Adding libraries with resources To add a Support Library with resources  such as v7 appcompat for action bar  to your application project   Using Eclipse  Create a library project based on the support library code    Make sure you have downloaded the Android Support Library using the SDK Manager  Create a library project and ensure the required JAR files are included in the project s build path  Select File   Import  Select Existing Android Code Into Workspace and click Next  Browse to the SDK installation directory and then to the Support Library folder  For example  if you are adding the appcompat project  browse to  extras android support v7 appcompat   Click Finish to import the project  For the v7 appcompat project  you should now see a new project titled android-support-v7-appcompat  In the new library project  expand the libs  folder  right-click each  jar file and select Build  Path   Add to Build Path  For example  when creating the the v7 appcompat project  add both the android-support-v4 jar and android-support-v7-appcompat jar files to the build path  Right-click the library project folder and select Build Path   Configure Build Path  In the Order and Export tab  check the  jar files you just added to the build path  so they are available to projects that depend on this library project  For example  the appcompat project requires you to export both the android-support-v4 jar and android-support-v7-appcompat jar files  Uncheck Android Dependencies  Click OK to complete the changes  You now have a library project for your selected Support Library that you can use with one or more application projects  Add the library to your application project  In the Project Explorer  right-click your project and select Properties  In the category panel on the left side of the dialog  select Android  In the Library pane  click the Add button  Select the library project and click OK  For example  the appcompat project should be listed as android-support-v7-appcompat  In the properties window  click OK

I finally found a way to use CardView in ADT Eclipse  It s actually pretty easy    Create a new project in Android Studio Add the CardView dependency as explained in the other answers to this question Open ADT and create a new library project with package name android support v7 cardview Delete all resources ADT auto-created Find the exploded-aar folder in Android Studio and copy the following files to these locations   res values values xml to the same location in your ADT project classes jar to libs  in your ADT project AndroidManifest xml use it to replace the auto-generated manifest in ADT   Add classes jar to the build path and make sure it s exported Add a reference to the library project in the project you want to use CardView in  You can follow the steps provided under Adding libraries with resources here  https   developer android com tools support-library setup html   As an alternative to having to create a new Android Studio project in order to get the AAR s content  you could also simply find and unzip the AAR from the local maven repo  Just follow the steps provided by Andrew Chen below   Please note the CardView library might not be available in source- and ADT-compatible-form because it s still only a preview and a WIP  As there might be bug fixes and improvements in following releases  it s important to keep the library up-to-date  which is easy using the Gradle dependency  but must be done manually when using the steps provided above

In the most latest android  we implement card view like this   build gradle file   dependencies               compile  com android support cardview-v7 24 0 0      and in the xml file its referenced as    lt androidx cardview widget CardView     gt       lt  androidx cardview widget CardView gt    this means its class has changed to   androidx cardview widget CardView

Using Gradle or Android Studio  try adding a dependency on com android support cardview-v7   There does not seem to be a regular Android library project at this time for cardview-v7  leanback-v17  palette-v7  or recyclerview-v7  I have no idea if when Google will ship such library projects
