title: Importing external .jar file to Android project
body: <p>I have a standard Java project in which I've written code to parse some BBC Radio XML data from the internet. The project is called BBCSchedules and the class I'm interested in is called BBCChannel.</p>
  
  <p>I'm now trying to use the BBCChannel class in an Android application. How should I go about doing this?</p>
  
  <p>I've tried various things, following various bits of advice on the internet, and the place I've got to at the moment is compiling my BBCSchedules project to a .jar file, and importing that to the Android project using the Build Path/Library/Add External Jar option. However, Eclipse still doesn't recognise the BBCChannel class, and won't let me run the application because of this.</p>
  
  <p>I guess I've done something silly wrong, but what is it?</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE: I've tried the steps listed in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1334802/how-can-I-use-external-jars-in-an-Android-project">How can I use external JARs in an Android project?</a> and various other StackOverflow questions I can find that seem to be related to this, but absolutely nothing seems to work. Any other ideas?</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE: The discussions I've had with the author of the first answer below suggest that it is something to do with how I am using Eclipse to attach the .jar file. The project he sent me with the .jar file already attached didn't work. Any other ideas anyone?</p>
