eclipse can't find android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout

It was difficult to update the support library to version 19.1 so i downloaded it manually from https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/support_r19.1.zip and added the jar to my build path manually. works for me. I dont know why the 19 update shows instead of 19.1.0


So it turns out the library is in the following location

/android-sdk-macosx/extras/android/m2repository/com/android/support/support-v4/19.1.0

As opposed to the usual

/android-sdk-macosx/extras/android/support

Also I had to restart eclipse and go to Android SDK Manager over and over and over, until the 19.1.0 version shows up.

I hope this saves someone else some trouble.


The SDK Manager update Android Support Library to 19.1.0. But when you use Android Tools > Add Support Library, eclipse update Android Support Library to 19.0. I think this is a bug. Copy Android Support Library 19.1.0 to libs folder manually.
