We are moving our years old Android project to Android Studio and away from eclipse.
The problem is that we have some jar files that use code specific to the devices that we work on. (I know! Don't say it. I'm working with the whole team to move past this.) Since these JAR files override some of the bluetooth code, they have to go ahead of the SDK in the dependency list for the thing to build. (These libraries are for compile time only.)
While on eclipse, Android SDK was a full blown plugin and I could control the libraries absolutely and make sure these libraries were first. With Android Studio, I don't seem to be able to control the position of the SDK in the dependency path.
I have edited the app.iml file and changed the order of the orderEntry tags at the bottom. This appears to have fixed the problem inside the IDE and it appears to be building fine now.
I am still unable to build the project using gradle.
Based on feedback here, here is my current build.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
configurations { razrBuild }
android {
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.myapp"
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 22
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
razrBuild fileTree(dir:'assets',include: ['*.jar'])
provided files('assets/BluetoothGattService.jar')
provided files('assets/BluetoothGatt.jar')
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1'
compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar')
compile files('libs/myapp-util.jar')
}
project.afterEvaluate {
project.android.applicationVariants.all { v ->
v.javaCompile.classpath += configurations.razrBuild
}
}
Any ideas?
Put jars you want to compile time only into a folder(For my example : extlib)
Then add some configurations to build.gradle
configurations { providedCompile }
dependencies {
providedCompile fileTree(dir:'extlib',include:['*.jar'])
}
project.afterEvaluate {
project.android.applicationVariants.all { v ->
v.javaCompile.classpath += configurations.providedCompile
}
}

i was working on a project, everything was fine but when i tried to run the app, i couldn't,i guess because i'm using a bundled version of google play services. so i i made sure that i update android studio and install the lastest google repository.
but it still wouldn't work. And when i click on install Repostiroy and sync project, still nothing happens.
please help me : this is my gradle ;
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.nefissa.pfe2"
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 25
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
please where did i go wrong?
a screenshot;please what can i do? the click on install wouldn't work
replace it with compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.2.0'
and add apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' on the bottom of your gradle,
and make sure you added classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
in the Top-level build.gradle file
There might one of these problems can cause this issue, try any one of them.
Solution 1:
Try to updated the gradle plugin.
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'
}
Then just Build->Clean project and everything works again.
Solution 2:
Go to the main module in your project, it's usually have the name app.
Then go to > Open Module Settings > in Properties change the Build Tools Version to 25.0.1
Then to make sure open the build.gradle file, and change compileSDKVersion & buildToolsVersion to 25 and 25.0.1 respectively.
If the above solution doesnt work.
Solution 3:
From this answer
"build cache" is enabled by default in build Android Plugin since 2.3.0. It creates files in build cache outside of project folder (e.g. in \Users\%username%.android\build-cache). Theese files are intended to be common between your projects.
And then Android Studio is unable to navigate in theese files.
You can disable Build Cache in gradle.properties file. just add android.enableBuildCache=false
I am trying to build an app which is composed out of separate library projects.
To do this, I'm trying to make a proof of concept which is supposed to be as following:
I tried to keep the project as simple as possible. The projects contents do not matter!
All that matters is the dependencies between the projects!
The result should be that MainProject will print out Something Another String!
I have tried all from .JAR files to .AAR files, but the best I got was
with the dependency in red. I added the StringExtender.aar file to StringReturner, and then the StringReturner.aar file to the MainProject.
When I do this I get the following Exception:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/example/erik/stringextender/StringExtender;
What is the right way to setup a simple proof of concept like this? I can't seem to find anything related to a library project having a dependency. It's all 1 level deep!
Any help is welcome!

Use the following tutorial - Creating libraries for Android applications
See a working example project on my Github
The most important steps taken were:
8.3. Create library module.
8.6. Define dependency to the library project.
Do not forget to import the library class you want to use, for example:
In MainProject: import com.example.stringreturner.StringReturner.
In StringReturner: import com.example.stringreturner.StringExtender.
The info below is based on the image you provided:
The library methods are not static so don't forget to make an actual object.
So StringReturner should make a StringExtender object, And MainProject should make a StringReturner object first!
And finally, I think it's a typo but both libraries have the class StringReturner. This will not work in the StringReturner library for obvious reasons.
I should also note that I used Android Studio 2.0 and I did not touch .JAR files nor .AAR files. I merely created two library modules and one app. Then configured the Project Structure -> Dependencies by adding Module Dependencies.
I have tried to add using the below line in build.gradle file.
compile 'com.kontakt.sdk.android:library:2.1.0'
It shows error in fetching the build files
But for the sdk verion 1.0.6 its working
compile 'com.kontakt.sdk.android:library:1.0.6'
Please suggest me the correct path
build.gradle file:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '23.0.2'
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.slotic"
minSdkVersion 18
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
packagingOptions{
exclude 'main/AndroidManifest.xml'
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.2.1'
compile 'com.kontakt.sdk.android:library:2.1.0'
}
Go to the Kontakt.io Android Proximity SDK https://github.com/kontaktio/kontakt-android-sdk on GitHub.
Click the Download ZIP button
Un-zip the file to a temporary location.
Add the jar file in your Android Studio Project.
File -> New Module -> Import .JAR/ .AAR Package -> Click Next -> Browse the SDK path (2.1.1) -> Finish (Take time to add in the project)
Then, Add module in dependencies
Right Click on Project Name -> Open Module Settings -> Under the list (Modules) -> Click on Dependencies -> Click on '+' -> Module Dependency -> Add Kontakt.io-android-sdk
Now Build your project It worked for me to kontakt io SDK. If anybody find the way to do this as Gradle build, please let me know.
I am trying to do an application but there seems to be some error with the gradle files now. It was working fine until I upgraded the support libraries.
I was working with api 21 which worked fine, but then i upgraded to api22 and changed the gradle files accordingly.. Now this error shows up.
Error:Failed to find: com.android.support:support-v4:22.2.0
This is my current gradle file :
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.sampleapp"
minSdkVersion 12
targetSdkVersion 22
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.2.0'
compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:6.1.0'
}
Any help would be appreciated.
If this might help someone, after MANY trials and errors, I found that I was targeting the wrong SDK version (an older one) in the build.gradle file corresponding to "library". To change this you can do it by hand or go to the Module Settings Menu (right click on your project folder -> Open Module Settings. Then in "library" - Properties you can change the Compile Sdk and the Build Tools Versions
Using Android SDK Manager. Go to Extras and then Android Support Repository and update it to the latest version.
(This is essentially the comment #natario made, but it should be an answer.)
I'm trying to set up Double Espresso, but that's probably not relevant here. What I'm trying to do is to set up a project in Android Studio using Gradle.
I'm very new to Gradle and build tools in general, though I've successfully used Maven before. Despite an hour of searching I can't find an answer to a very simple question.
In Jake Wharton's instructions it says
No more fumbling with local jars or dependency conflicts. Pull it in with one line:
androidTestCompile 'com.jakewharton.espresso:espresso:1.1-r3'
Pull in where? Where do I put/execute that command to import the project? In the command prompt? Do I put it in one of the scripts?
Thanks for any help.
You have a build.gradle file inside your app folder. In that file you can configure your project, "dependencies" and other options. It's very similar to maven. You have another build.gradle file in your root folder from your project. This conf file is more general and call the other build.gradle file.
e.g I have in one of my projects
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 20
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.acostela.example"
minSdkVersion 17
targetSdkVersion 20
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:20.+'
compile "com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:18.0.+"
compile 'com.j256.ormlite:ormlite-core:4.48'
compile 'com.j256.ormlite:ormlite-android:4.48'
compile 'commons-net:commons-net:3.3'
compile 'net.sf.opencsv:opencsv:2.3'
}
Dependencies here are similar to maven and the use in that tool of "/".
Gradle take libs from repositories in the same way of maven. In fact you can use the maven repository. You have a tab with the gradle sentence to download libraries.
