A project that will be compiled as a library

A project that will be compiled as a library.

In Android:

A library project is a standard Android project, so you can create a new one in the same way as you would a new application project.

To create a new library project:

1 - Select File > New > Project.
2 - Select Android > Android Application Project, and click Next.
3 - Enter the basic settings for the project, including Application Name, Project Name, Package Name, and SDK settings.
4 - In the Configure Project page, select the Mark this project as a library option to flag the project as a library.
5 - Set the other options as desired and click Next.
6 - Follow the instructions to complete the wizard and create a new library project.

You can also convert an existing application project into a library. To do so, simply open the Properties for the project and select the is Library checkbox
