Answer 1

if you are using intellij use these steps, this actually works

• click in your project,
• right click -> open Module Settings (f4)
• import cardview from \sdk\extras\android\support\v7\
• add .jar file to cardview module
• click on your project and give module dependency to cardview
• now, click (+) button on cardview -> android -> at top you will see a check box (library module), enable it.
• click ok and close your settings dialog.
• rebuild your project and run it.
