title: Android Eclipse: Library reference in project properties VS Import statement
body: <p>Using a tutorial from a book i've built a game engine library using package structure advo.advoengine. I have several class files in there. In the following directory of my workspace are the following java files:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\kevin\workspace\AdvoEngine\src\advo\advoengine
  - Engine.java
  - TextPrinter.java
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>etc</p>
  
  <p>I then create another Android project using package structure advo.advoengine_demo. IN order to use the  library made above, Under Project Properties -> Android I specify the Advoengine as a library reference.</p>
  
  <p>However in order to use TextPrinter class in my new Android project, I still need to specify </p>
  
  <pre><code>import advo.advoengine.*; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>else TextPrinter cannot be resolved to a type.</p>
  
  <p>Noob question but why do i still need to "import" the package when i've already specified the library reference?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
