Importing a sample from an already imported library in android

Question

In android studios, I have successfully imported a library called ChatKit(https://github.com/stfalcon-studio/ChatKit). The creators of the library were kind enough to include a fully working sample within the library. Instead of recreating the process I want to import the sample from the library into my project but android studios is not allowing me to do so.

In my main activity, I can add :

import com.stfalcon.chatkit.dialogs.DialogsList;

But when cannot add:

import com.stfalcon.chatkit.sample.ChatSamplesListAdapter;

So I'm curious what other people have done to import a sample from an already imported library.

Thank you.

@Code-Apprentice, can you suggest a path I can take to try progressing this issue? thank you — shle2821, Feb 25 '17 at 16:27
The easiest way is to copy the files from the sample directly into your own project. — Code-Apprentice, Feb 25 '17 at 16:29

import com.stfalcon.chatkit.sample.ChatSamplesListAdapter;

It happens because this class is not included in the library.
It is a sample file used as sample.

As you can see it is just a simple RecyclerView.Adapter then you can copy it in your project or you can use a own adapter.
