I'm trying to contribute to an open source project from Mapzen called "On the Road". (Github link)
I would like to edit and add some code to the project. At the moment I'm including the project using gradle with the following dependency:
compile 'com.mapzen:on-the-road:1.1.1'
Someone gave me a tutorial on how to do this here, but I'm getting a gradle error;
Error:Configuration with name 'default' not found.
What I did was clone the project from github, copied the entire master folder into my apps main and renamed it to "customLibrary".
I then added include':customLibrary' to my settings.gradle and compile project(':customLibrary') to my build.gradle(Module:app) file.
How do I import this project without the errors?
As you cloned the entire master folder, inside the customLibrary there is the build.gradle file which is the top-level file of the library.
You can't do it.
Since you are including the customLibrary folder, gradle is looking for a module build.gradle.
You have to clone the library folder instead of the entire master folder.
Otherwise you can use include':customLibrary:library' only to add the module library of the entire project.
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 tried to add google-play-services.jar to my project but I faced with this err.Why? (Error:Cannot change configuration ':android:compile' after it has been resolved.)
Does anybody know a way to resolve this problem?
In android studio you don't need to add jar files, Remove the jar file and
Open the build.gradle file inside your application module directory.
Note: Android Studio projects contain a top-level build.gradle file and a build.gradle file for each module. Be sure to edit the file for your application module
Add a new build rule under dependencies for the latest version of play-services. For example:
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8.0'
}
Save the changes and click Sync Project with Gradle Files in the toolbar.

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.
I want to add external library https://github.com/foursquare/foursquare-android-oauth to my Android application (I use Android Studio, the instructions provided by lib author for Eclipse didn't work for Android Studio).
I've tried to do it with maven, so in File->Project Structure->Dependencies I've added com.foursquare:foursquare-android-nativeoauth-lib:1.0.0 but Gradle Sync fails:
Error:Failed to find: com.foursquare:foursquare-android-nativeoauth-lib:1.0.0
When I try to build my app (without fixing above error becaus I don't know how) I get:
Error:A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:_debugCompile'.
> Could not resolve com.foursquare:foursquare-android-nativeoauth-lib:1.0.0.
Required by:

> Could not parse POM http://jcenter.bintray.com/com/foursquare/foursquare-android-nativeoauth-lib/1.0.0/foursquare-android-nativeoauth-lib-1.0.0.pom
> Could not find any version that matches com.foursquare:parent:1.0.0.
Any other way to import this lib? I can simply copy-paste source code into my source or create JAR out of it?
BTW: if you run into problems see this question (I had this issue after importing): Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 14
Try one of these approaches:
Approach 1)
1- Choose project view
2- Copy your JAR file in app -> lib folder
3- Right click on your JAR file and choose add as library
4- Check it in build.gradle
Approach 2)
1- File -> New -> New Module
2- Import .JAR/.AAR Package
3- Browse your JAR File
4- Finish
5- File -> Project Structure -> Dependencies
6- You should click on + button and then click on Module Dependency
7- You will see your library here
8- choose your library and click ok
9- Then, you will see that your library is added.
For first two approaches, you need a JAR file. You can search http://search.maven.org/ to find JAR files that are related to Android. For example, this is the search result for jdom in this link
Approach 3) Android is using http://jcenter.bintray.com/ as remote library. For example, this is the search result for jdom in the link.
To add a library in this approach, please follow these steps:
1- File -> Project Structure -> Dependencies
2- Click on + button and choose library dependency
3- find your library and select it, then click OK.
Try this:
File > Project Structure > Dependencies Tab > Add module dependency (scope = compile)
Where the module dependency is the project library Android folder.
To reference an external lib project without copy, just do this:
- Insert this 2 lines on setting.gradle:
include ':your-lib-name'
project(':your-lib-name').projectDir = new File('/path-to-your-lib/your-lib-name)
Insert this line on on dependencies part of build.gradle file:
compile project(':your-lib-name')
Sync project
There are two simplest ways if one does not work please try the other one.
Add dependency of the library inside dependency inside build.gradle file of the library you are using, and paste your library in External Libraries.
OR
Just Go to your libs folder inside app folder and paste all your .jar e.g Library files there, Now the trick here is that now go inside settings.gradle file now add this line include ':app:libs' after include ':app' it will definitely work.

Complete Steps for importing a library in Android Studio 1.1
Goto File -> Import Module.
Source Directory -> Browse the project path.
Specify the Module Name
Open build.gradle (Module:app) file
Add the following line with your module name
compile project(':internal_project_name')
Taken from: how to add library in Android Studio
I had also faced this problem. Those time I followed some steps like:
File > New > Import module > select your library_project. Then include 'library_project' will be added in settings.gradle file.
File > Project Structure > App > Dependencies Tab > select library_project. If library_project not displaying then, Click on + button then select your library_project.
Clean and build your project. The following lines will be added in your app module build.gradle (hint: this is not the one where classpath is defined).
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile project(':library_project')
}
If these lines are not present, you must add them manually and clean and rebuild your project again (Ctrl + F9).
A folder named library_project will be created in your app folder.
If any icon or task merging error is created, go to AndroidManifest file and add <application tools:replace="icon,label,theme">
A late answer, although I thought of giving an in-depth answer to this question. This method is suitable for Android Studio 1.0.0 and above.
STEPS
First switch your folder structure from Android to Project.
Now search for the libs folder inside app - build folder.
Once you have pasted the .jar file inside libs folder. Right click on the jar file and at end click on Add as library. This will take care of adding compile files('libs/library_name.jar') in build.gradle [You don't have to manually enter this in your build file].
Now you can start using the library in your project.
For the simplest way just follow these steps
Go to File -> New -> Import Module -> choose library or project folder
Add library to include section in settings.gradle file and sync the project (After that you can see new folder with library name is added in project structure)
include ':mylibraryName'
Go to File -> Project Structure -> app -> dependency tab -> click on plus button
Select module dependency -> select library (your library name should appear there) and put scope (compile or implementation)
Add this line in build.gradle in app level module in dependency section
implementation project(':mylibraryName')
Three ways in android studio for adding a external library.
if you want to add libarary project dependency in your project :
A. In file menu click new and choose import module choose your library project path and click ok, library project automatically add in your android studio project .
B. Now open your main module(like app) gradle file and add project dependency in dependency section dependencies {
compile project(':library project name')
if you want to add jar file :
A. add jar file in libs folder.
B. And Add dependency
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar') // add all jar file from libs folder, if you want to add particular jar from libs add below dependency.
compile files('libs/abc.jar')
Add Dependency from url (recommended). like
compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library-aar:1.0.0'
Android studio doesn't use Maven, it use Gradle, you can open your build.gradle the route should be: /app/build.gradle and add the Gradle dependency that shows on the repo:
The build.gradle has a dependencies section:
dependencies {
//here add your dependency
}
The repo says that you need to add this dependency:
compile 'com.foursquare:foursquare-android-oauth:1.0.3'
only add that line to your dependencies on buil.gradle, save the file, and android will rebuild the project, that's all
If the library you need is on GitHub then adding it to Android Studio is easy with JitPack.
Step 1. Add the jitpack repository to build.gradle:
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}
Step 2. Add the GitHub repository as a dependency:
dependencies {
// ...
compile 'com.github.Username:LibraryRepo:ReleaseTag'
}
JitPack acts as a maven repository and can be used much like Maven Central. The nice thing is that the maintainers don't have to upload the library. Behind the scenes JitPack will check out the code from GitHub and compile it. Therefore for this to work there needs to be a working build file in the git repository.
There is also a guide on how to publish an Android library.
Turn any github project into a single line gradle implementation with this website
https://jitpack.io/
Example, I needed this project:
https://github.com/mik3y/usb-serial-for-android
All I did was paste this into my gradle file:
implementation 'com.github.mik3y:usb-serial-for-android:master-SNAPSHOT'
There are some changes in new gradle 4.1
instead of compile we should use implementation
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.0'
1.Goto File -> New -> Import Module
2.Source Directory -> Browse the project path.
3.Specify the Module Name – it is used for internal project reference.
Open build.gradle (Module:app) file.
implementation project(':library')
I had the same problem. This happened because of core library dependency. I was using javax.* . This is what i did to fix
In File->Project Structure->Dependencies I added this as as provided file, not a compile. Then re build the project.
This problem started after upgrade of android studio. But I think it happens when you try to edit you build files manually.
Adding library in Android studio 2.1
Just Go to project -> then it has some android,package ,test ,project view
Just change it to Project View
under the app->lib folder you can directly copy paste the lib and do android synchronize it.
That's it
1)just get your lib from here http://search.maven.org/
2)create a libs folder in app directory
3)paste ur library there
4)right click on ur library and click "Add as Library"
5)thats all u need to do!
I hope this will definitely gonna help you!!!!
Could not find any version that matches com.foursquare:parent:1.0.0.
Means that library developer made a mistake in .pom file and specified a wrong one.
I would recommend use the standard approach. You can find .pom file in Maven Repository and use that version or ask developer to take a loot at this problem(via github issue tracker)
compile 'com.foursquare:foursquare-android-oauth:1.1.1'
SIMPLE STEPS TO ADD ANY LIBRARY IN ANDROID STUDIO:
Copy the file in question from any folder in your computer (eg. C:/documents/xyz.jar"), then go to Android Studio and right-click the Project Library folder and select paste.
Now, right click on the newly added Library file and select the option "add as Library"
