I don't know if Im understanding it right, but how do i make a project become addable on android gradle's dependency, more like facebook's sdk where we add compile 'com.facebook.....'. I'm new to this topic so please guide me. Thanks.
If you want to add another gradle project in your current one. (assuming it is inside the current projects root directory)
in settings.gradle file add
include ':name-of-the-dir-of-the-project-you-want-to-include'
in build.gradle
dependencies {
compile project(':name-of-the-project-you-want-to-include')
}

I am developing an android app. I have added a new project to my gradle build as follows....
In the build.gradle I have added...
android {
dependencies {
implementation project(':code-scanner')
}
...
}
In the settings.gradle I have added...
include ":code-scanner"
project(':code-scanner').projectDir = new File(settingsDir , "../External/code-scanner")
The project builds fine. But I would like to be able to browse the source, and add breakpoints to the code-scanner project, but it does not show up in Android Studio.
I have tried importing module , but the folder is missing from the subsequent select folder dialog.
How can I add this code to android studio, and set breakpoints and debug....
Just in case. Based on Android Documentation dependencies should be defined outside android block. Maybe Gradle Build figures out your code, but your Android Studio can't find source code of your library.
What version of Android Studio are you using?
1- Make sure you put implementation project(':code-scanner') in app level build.gradle file
2- dependencies block should not be inside android block:
Not like this:
android {
dependencies {
implementation project(':code-scanner')
}
}
But like this:
android {
...
...
}
dependencies {
implementation project(':code-scanner')
}
I don't know which IDE you are using but most IDEs like Android Studio or IntelliJ look like the pictures below.
Or you can view your folder structure in Project view like this:
If you didn't accidentally delete it, it should be there.
The actual problem is the location of the project, which is outside of the root project directory:
include ":code-scanner"
// project(':code-scanner').projectDir = new File(settingsDir , "../External/code-scanner")
Better add it as a library module within the root project, then the code should be within IDE scope.
If you don't want to move the project into there, you could put a built artifact into the libs directory.
Adding a symbolic link might also work out (it's rather a file-system issue than a Gradle issue).
'code-scanner' project you have to add as a library to the current project,for that in code-scanner build.gradle file you have to add
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
please check if it is missing.
I don't understand how to add a library in my new project.
https://github.com/txusballesteros/bubbles-for-android
I saw similar posts but I don't get the library in my project.
Error:Configuration with name 'default' not found.
And when I add the library can I change the original source code and can I use it because I read about the same License ?
Please help me, I was trying many methods and I failed.
Locate your build.gradle file:
Go to android view (easiest this way)
Locate Gradle Scripts folder:
Locate your correct build.gradle file (watch it, there are 2 of those who look similar):
Add the this statement (compile 'com.txusballesteros:bubbles:1.2.1') according to picture:
Good to go
Add the library dependency in your app level build.gradle file(not project level). you don't need to download any library file just add this dependency and sync the project
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.txusballesteros:bubbles:1.2.1'
}
Add following to your Build.Gradle under dependency block and then sync. project. Now you can use that library methods in your code.
compile 'com.txusballesteros:bubbles:1.2.1'
I want to create an EditText that could pick date and time at the same time. I found this library but I failed build this library. It says
Error:(31, 0) Project with path ':slideDateTimePicker' could not be found in project ':app'
According to the grade.build file, it looks like we should have this library as a project first. Here is the dependencies that I should add
compile project(':slideDateTimePicker')
How should I add this library into my project? Thank you.
Use this on your gradle:
compile 'com.github.jjobes:slideDateTimePicker:1.0.2'
You need to add library files to your project directory as well. Also add
this line to settings.gradle:
include 'your-library-directory'
There are two approaches. First approach, if you want to use the library out-of-the-box without source code changes. Second, if you want to modify the source code later on.
As dependency on app level; add the following line in your build.gradle file:
compile 'com.github.jjobes:slideDateTimePicker:1.+'
Add as a sub-project to your existing project; add the slideDateTimePicker folder to your projects root folder:
under dependencies on app level build.gradle file add:
compile project(path: ':slideDateTimePicker')
and in your settings.gradle file add:
include ':slideDateTimePicker'
file-> input modle>SlideDateTimePicker, and then: project settings-> add modle->choice SlideDateTimePicker.
or
copy SlideDateTimePicker to you project root path. and add compile project(':slideDateTimePicker') in your build.gradle, add include ':slideDateTimePicker' in settings.gradle
Hope this can help you.
eg.
`dependencies {
compile 'me.grantland:autofittextview:0.2.+'
}`
Where do i add this and how to make it work? i am trying to incorporate autofit textview in android
Find the build.gradle for your project, add the compile statement to the existing lines in the dependencies section. Android Studio will prompt you to "Sync Gradle Project Files", which will trigger everything required to find the library. After the sync you'll be able to import and use the classes as required.
If you want to use this then you need to have an Build-Management Tool like Maven, Ant or Gradle. Then this Tool downloads the dependacys for you.
But if you dont have something like this then just add this file to the project:
http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/me/grantland/autofittextview/0.2.0/autofittextview-0.2.0-sources.jar
First of all, I know how to add a local library to the build.gradle file, it was discussed in several questions here already (which are all basically the same), see here, here and here. But you have to hardcode the paths in the compile files('/path/to/lib.jar') statements in the build.gradle file, which isn't nice, not redistributable, etc, IF you use a library not within the project's folder structure. I prefer to maintain this library for all my projects in the same place (so it is always up to date for all projects etc.). So I would like to know how to add a library, which is not available via Maven, to an Android-Studio project using gradle, in a sane way, given that the library is added as a global library in AS's preferences.
What I have done so far:
I use Google's new Android-Studio, which uses gradle for the build management, to build an Xposed framework module. For that, I have to include an external library, XposedLibrary, which I downloaded from the respective Github repository to keep it up-to-date.
It contains the jar XposedLibrary/XposedBridgeApi.jar, which I added in AS as a global library (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S -> Global Libraries -> green plus to add the folder XposedLibrary). The compilation failed, complaining that it doesn't know the imported classes. So I had to manually add the library to the build.gradle file, adding the respective line in the dependencies like so:
dependencies {
compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar')
compile files('/home/sebastian/dev/android/XposedMods/XposedLibrary/XposedBridgeApi.jar')
}
I tried out to just add compile files('XposedBridgeApi.jar') or compile files('XposedLibrary/XposedBridgeApi.jar') but this didn't work.
So, what is a nice way to add an AS global library to the dependencies without using full paths? (I don't like the idea of symlinking to the jar file from within the lib/ folder ;) )
when referencing a file via
files("relative/path/to/a.jar")
the relative path is evaluated relative to the buildscript this snippet is in. so when your build.gradle file is located in let's say '/a/project/build.gradle' then the jar should be in '/a/project/relative/path/to/a.jar'. In a multiproject gradle build you can put the the jar in a folder relative to the root - project and reference it in all subprojects via
rootProject.files("relative/to/root/a.jar")
hope that helps,
cheers,
René
This post describes how to get XposedBridgeApi.jar working with Gradle in Android Sudio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41904291&postcount=1570
I think here is the proper way:
Import Xposed in Android Studio
Edit the /app/build.gradle like this:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
provided fileTree(dir: 'deps', include: ['*.jar'])
}
The best way is to use "provided files('src/XposedBridgeApi-54.jar')" as the lib isn't allowed to be included in the module, because the XposedBridge is already installed on the phone.
With Android Studio, you have to first understand that the IDE uses the same model for a project that your command line build (gradle) uses. That is why the Project Structure dialog has a pop up that says edits here will have no effect. So adding a global library will also have no effect.
The correct way to fix such issues is to edit your gradle build scripts so that the command line gradle build works properly. Then you should just have to click on "Tools | Android | Sync Project with Gradle files" menu item to refresh the project structure in the IDE.
Finally, if your dependencies are not going to be in Maven Central, then you'd have to create a local maven repository. Read the thread here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/adt-dev/eCvbCCZwZjs/vGfg-4vNy9MJ for background.
