Description  
I am following zoom’s official SDK documentation to create my zoom meeting app  
… But a problem that I am getting stuck at is that I am not able to import zoom’s SDK modules commonlib and mobilterc to the app in android studio. The final and next buttons always become disabled.

**Which Android Meeting SDK version?**  
v5.5.1.1319

**To Reproduce(If applicable)**  
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Go to ‘File’
2. Click on ‘new’
3. Click on ‘import module’
4. Navigate the ‘zoom SDK file’
5. See the error of not being able to click finish

**Screenshots**

**Smartphone (please complete the following information):**

- Device: Nexus 5X API 25
- OS: Nougat Android 7.1

**Additional context**

Hi @RGCoder, thanks for using the dev forum.

The reason you are unable to import on this screen is because you have selected the commonlib directory instead of the `commonlib.aar` file contained in that path.

Thanks!

I did try it but as you can see an error popped up:-

Hi @RGCoder,

Thanks for providing those screenshots. It looks like the wrong option may have been selection in the previous window. When you open the import module window via `Right click project -> New -> Module`, you should select the `Import .JAR/.AAR Package` option as pictured below.

Thanks!

So I clicked the New Module option and the following screen pops up…

What next…

Hi @RGCoder,

Strange, that is not the same menu I am seeing. Are you perhaps on an older version of Android studio? Does that same menu come up both when you right-click the root folder in your project and when you go through the `File` dropdown menu? If you’re still having issues with this approach, there is an alternative method to add the SDK described [here](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/android/getting-started/integration#2-add-modules-and-configure-dependencies).

Thanks!

The android studio used is  
Android Studio Arctic Fox | 2020.3.1 Patch 1  
Build #AI-203.7717.56.2031.7621141, built on August 7, 2021  
Runtime version: 11.0.10+0-b96-7281165 x86\_64  
VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o.  
macOS 11.5.2

It happens the same to me. I cannot even run any zoom integration app dowloaded from Github it does not recognize the commonlib and webrtc packages.

I run this under M1 Apple Mac

@mbeascoa  
So I found a rough solution to the problem…

1. Copy and Paste both the Commonlib and Mobilertc modules to the project directory
2. Go to Project Structure \> Dependencies \> Click + \> JAR/AAR Dependencies and give the path to both the modules which are there.
3. It will automatically add the modules as dependencies.

Hi @mbeascoa, thanks for using the dev forum.

Have you tried the solutions mentioned previously in this thread? Please let me know which specific approaches have not worked for you and I will be happy to help.

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. I could implement that way the Commonlib and Mobilertc modules to the project. Then when running the example, I needed to increse the minimim SDK fro 16 to 21 and then happens that error…  
By the end of July I was able to make it run, but now upgrading to Android Artic I am facing many problems.

Hi @mbeascoa,

In that error code, there is actually a suggestion which should resolve your issue. 🙂

Please let me know if you are running into any issues with the SDK and I will be happy to help.

Thanks!
