Here are some libraries

 import android.app.Activity;
 import android.net.Uri;
 import android.os.Bundle;
 import android.content.Intent;
 import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
 import com.google.appinventor.components.annotations.DesignerComponent;
 import com.google.appinventor.components.annotations.SimpleObject;
 import com.google.appinventor.components.common.ComponentCategory;
 import com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.AndroidNonvisibleComponent;
 import com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.Component;
 import com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.ComponentContainer;
 import com.google.appinventor.components.annotations.androidmanifest.*;
 import com.google.appinventor.components.annotations.UsesActivities;

But use only those which you want :wink: there are some which you have to use

I think he is not asking for imports he is asking of external libraries.

In the bottom right corner of the ide where u are making extension lies, a button named Libraries
Click that and import the libraries (jar) into your extension

Actually i am trying to create in app update extension, i try also.

inAppUpdateManager = InAppUpdateManager.Builder(this, REQ_CODE_VERSION_UPDATE)

    .resumeUpdates(true) // Resume the update, if the update was stalled. Default is true

    .mode(Constants.UpdateMode.IMMEDIATE)

    .snackBarAction("An update has just been downloaded")

    .snackBarAction("RESTART")

    .handler(this);

    

inAppUpdateManager.checkForAppUpdate();

@override

public void onInAppUpdatesStats(InAppupdateStatus status) {

    if (status.isDownloaded()){

        View view = getwindow().getDecorview().findViewById(android.R.id.content);

        Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make(view,

        text:"An update has just been downloaded.;

        Snackbar.setAction(resid:"", new_View.OnClickListener() {

             @override

            public void onClick(View v) {

                inAppUpdateManager.completeUpdate();

            }

        });

    }snackbar.show();

}

}

For libary i import aar file , i rename it as jar.

not working , when i build it save as nix.

The .nix file is the project file of the particular extension you are building, and .aix file is the actual extension.

  • To download the project file i.e .nix click Export Project
    export_project

  • To build the extension and get the actual extenion file i.e .aix click Compile Extension
    compile_extension

  • To upload an external library click “Libraries”
    export_project

I hope its clear now

@Jonathan_Urbina once you click on import libraries then scroll towards bottom you will se a section to import the libraries

Unfortunately, the Extension IDE does not seem to compile with the new SDK yet. Implementing SDK-34-specific things therefore produces error messages.

Is there a plan for when this will be adapted?

The IDE is outdated and a new major update is scheduled, delayed due to builder updates. Once the bugs are sorted out and it’s stable we would release the IDE Update
