How to Add JARs to an Android Project

Developers who offer Java archive -- JAR -- files let you import the Java code into your existing application. Eclipse has an import wizard that lets you import any JAR library into your application. JAR files contain pre-programmed libraries that save you time coding Android applications or other Java applications. Importing the JAR files lets you use the files' functions and properties.
