Android Question AHViewpager Jar location

[epiCode]

I've been trying to get the demo example of AHviewpager to run.
It fails to compile with following error

Compiling generated Java code.    Error
B4A line: 70
container.Initialize
src\de\amberhome\viewpagerexample\main.java:425: error: cannot access PagerAdapter
mostCurrent._container.Initialize(mostCurrent.activityBA);
                      ^
  class file for android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter not found

Searching the forums for error leads me to a comment by @Erel asking not to have the AHViewPager jar in libraries folder.

Someone please point me to the correct location. Thanks

PS: I have this line added in code:

#AdditionalJar: com.android.support:support-v4

You need to put it in the additional libraries folder (Tools - Configure Paths) and run the jetifier tool.

Thanks Erel,

However that did not work. If you can help me with following questions maybe it will help not just for this instance but other libraries too.

My 3rdpartylibs folder has multiple folders in it with different libraries I have saved containing Jar/xml

1. Is that ok to have subfolders in 3rdpartylibs?
2. Will B4A search for additional jars recursively ?

Jetifier tool shows "nothing to do" unless I configure the path to subfolder containing jar and not 3rdpartylibs
3. Is that normal ? or I'm missing something?

Jetifier tool after setting the path to exact folder creates two additional files ( libname.androidx.jar and jetifier.map)
4. Do we let those 2 new files stay put in that folder and set "configure path' for additional library to that folder or move these new files to basic4android\libraries folder?
5. Do we need to make a change in project like #additionaljar or it is not required
6. if yes for point 5, then do we put the original short name or libname.androidx ?

If a library depends on other library for example android-support-v4.jar or xamarin-android-support-v7
7. what would be the location of these support libraries ?
8. do we have to include #additionaljar in project declarations or the parent library (jar) will take care of it ?

That's a lot of questions but I'm sure it will help others too.
Thanks in advance

1. No.
The structure should be as explained here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-additional-libraries-folder.103165/#content

    tabs.Initialize(pager)  << java.lang.IllegalStateException: The pager's adapter has to implement ViewPagerTabProvider.

Use TabStripViewPager.
