Hello *,

I'm new here, new to Eclipse, new to Android and new to mobile devices

software development in general. I usually use NetBeans, but it seems Eclipse

has more support for Android. Please be patient if I ask silly questions.

I'm trying to add ksoap2-android library in my Eclipse (Helios) project. I'd

like the library to be bundled within my application when I deploy it.

I've tried to follow these steps [1] using the alternative third step ("Add

Libray..." instead of "Add jars..."). I've created a "libs" subfolder in my

project and copied "ksoap2-android-assembly-2.5.2-jar-with-dependencies.jar"

there.

However when I create a new User Library and then add the jar file, the new

"ksoap2-android" library in Eclipse shows up with a red X sign, and the import

of the library packages does not work. If I remove the jar from the library

the red X sign goes away, but then again I can't import org.ksoap2.* nor other

packages that come with it.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Lucio.

P.S. and OT: is there a reason why I can't send messages to this list using my mail client instead of the gmail webmail interface? (If I do, they get lost in the oblivion of some network server...)

Pls look at my blog - http://naveenbalani.com/index.php/2011/01/invoke-webservices-from-android/
on how to set this up and invoke web services via Android. Hope this
helps.
