Importing Libraries on Android Studio like on Eclipse
I just started using Android Studio actively last month and I have really worked hard to learn my way around it. Apart from a lot of different shortcuts here and there something is giving me headache. Do I really have to know every library to set up my project error free?
Now after copying code from SO I just can't find how to add the import libraries. On Eclipse the compiler when it shouted of a missing library, a simple hover on the error line was all I needed to fix the missing library since a context menu often revealed suggestions of the missing library.
For instance, if I add the code:
Private Locale locale;
The compiler will say:
error: cannot find symbol class Locale
How do I solve such an issue without having to which class or library needs to be imported here? By the way, I have no problem importing Eclipse projects to Android Studio.
Here is what I have tried so far:
- Clicking on red line, then pressing Alt + Enter.
- Enabling Auto Imports from settings
None of them seem to be working at all. As I wait for help I have to google whatever library I really need to import to my class.
