welcome all,
i need this library for testing,learning pupose in my extension code(i use ant)
here it is mentioned as i can add a library and said how to do it but i want a step by step guide for this specific library please say how to do it instead of saying there are many such topic or linking those i have searched but can't understand for my need
@ewpatton sir i hope you will help me
thanks,
If you have the jar file of the project then you can do it easily, else you need to put the main code of the library into the src folder and then use.
where can i get that file i read in the link i need jar file but i don't know how to get it please say where it is
in this lib
If it doesn't has, and if you need to use it, you have to create it, it's easy.
Download JAR or AAR or both file into your computer or laptop.
AAR)Change the file extension from .aar to .zip and open zip file and extract .jar file.
Past your .jar and .aar file into lib folder.
path is : appinventor-sources/appinventor/lib
Add path of external libraries into build.xml file.
Path is : appinventor-sources/appinventor/components/build.xml
Reference : see this
Add @UsesLibraries annotation into your code.
Example : @UsesLibraries(libraries = "example1.jar," + "example2.jar")
Reference: see this
The problem is he cannot get the .jar / .arr file.
Where is the file in this git repository
you can search into maven or you can contact developer
Doing a quick search for the library gives me the following results. I'm not sure which version you need, but you can find out by reading the documentation.
what is it is it .jar file
okay i will try
yes now i got the .jar file ,
i added this code in components/build.xml as said in docs
<copy toFile="${public.deps.dir}/ucrop.jar" file="${lib.dir}/ucrop/ucrop-2.2.0-javadoc.jar" />
now i coded in java file as

You need to put it above @DesignerComponent annotation.

No. You cannot find jar for every repo.
Then should I google it how to create .jar file
