Unable to import in android studio - android

I am new to android studio. I know how to work in eclipse. I downloaded the sweet alert library for Android from here.
But I am unable to import it because of lack of experience in android studio. Can anyone guide me to import it step by step? I don't even know what a maven/gradle is and how to add as AAR dependency, as mentioned on the website.

Add the following lines to your build.gradle file:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'cn.pedant.sweetalert:library:1.3'
}
The first block makes gradle aware of the maven repository. The second block is shorthand for including the library in the "compile" build step.
Further I sugest that you read the gradle docs here: Gradle plugin user guide

If you are importing Library which is gradle supported then you have to write only one line in your Gradle dependencies
sweet-alert-dialog library is Gradle Supported so you the thing you have to do is open Gradle
dependencies {
compile 'cn.pedant.sweetalert:library:1.3' //add this line
}

download the sweet alert library
In android studio [File] --> [New] -->[Import Module].
Now select the directory where you downloaded sweet alert library.
inside sweet alert library folder select library folder and the click ok.
Now go to your build.gradle(app) in your project and add this line
compile project(":library") into
dependencies {
...
...
...
compile project(":library")
}

How do I use another library in my app?

The title is a little misleading but I honestly don't know how to word it in any other way. This is my project structure:
I want to use the highlighted (fasteranimationscontainer-master) in my current app that I'm working on. I imported it by putting the jar file in my library folder then adding it to my library through Android Studio. But I try to create an object of that imported library, it doesn't show up/import.
I'm still learning how to use android studio so any help would be much appreciated!
1. Library with only the Source Code
To include a library with only the source code (like FasterAnimationsContainer) to your project, you only need to import it as a module from File -> New-> Import Module in Android Studio:
There should be a dialog for the project folder, enter the path where your library reside.
Then you need to add the module to your app build.gradle as a dependency:
android {
...
dependencies {
...
compile project(':fasteranimationscontainer')
...
}
}
Now you can use it in your project.
2. Library from Maven or JCenter
To add dependencies to your project where the library has uploaded to maven or jcenter, you need to modify your app build.gradle file and add extra lines configuring the packages you require. For example, for certain Google or Android, dependencies look like:
android {
...
dependencies {
// Google Play Services
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.+'
// Support Libraries
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.2.1'
}
}
Try to always read the library README first.
Suggestion:
If you still learning using Android Studio, you can read Using Android Studio. Then read Getting Started with Gradle, because Android Studio is tightly related with Gradle.

Using google Place picker in android project

I am trying to learn Google's place picker
I have used the sample project from here
I have linked playservices library for the sample project
Resolved all the dependencies
Problem:
Some depedencies r not resolved ther are,
import com.google.android.gms.location.places.Place;
import com.google.android.gms.location.places.ui.PlacePicker;
Question:
How to solve this
Should I need to add any other project references
follow this way :
Open the build.gradle file inside your application module directory.
Add a new build rule under dependencies for the latest version of play-services.
For example:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
...
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.0.0'
}
Be sure you update this version number each time Google Play services is updated.
Save the changes and click Sync Project with Gradle Files in the toolbar.
Answering because I had te same problem.
I needed to add 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places to my project.
in the app's build.gradle I added
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:10.2.6'
}

importing ShowcaseView with gradle

I'm trying to use the ShowcaseView project in my app but can't get the project to build.
when I run 'gradle clean installDebug' I get the following error:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'hows-it-going'.
Could not find method compile() for arguments [project ':ShowcaseView'] on root project 'hows-it-going'.
I'm using gradle 1.11 and Android Studio 0.54.
I've downloaded the source, and imported the project using file -> Import module -> ShowcaseView
which makes my project structure like:
-project
--app
--ShowcaseView
my settings.gradle file looks like:
include ':app', 'ShowcaseView'
and in my project level build.gradle I have the following:
dependencies {
compile project (':ShowcaseView')
}
Any help with how to include this properly would be much appreciated. Thanks.
The latest version of ShowcaseView is available as a .AAR dependency. To use it, add:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {
url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots'
}
}
To your build.gradle file and, under the dependencies block, add:
compile 'com.github.amlcurran.showcaseview:library:5.0.0-SNAPSHOT'
I'll get a stable, non-snapshot, version out soon.
It should actually be
compile 'com.github.amlcurran.showcaseview:library:5.0.0-SNAPSHOT#aar'
That way Maven will use .AAR file
I recently just added ShowcaseView to an Android Studio project, and I hope this can push you in the correct direction.
My file structure looks something like this:
project
app
build.gradle
libraries
showcase
build.gradle
settings.gradle
Add the files from the library
folder
of ShowcaseView to the showcase directory in the libraries
directory.
Add the showcase directory as a module to your project.
Change your app's build.gradle file to include:
dependencies {
compile project(':libraries:showcase')
}
Change your settings.gradle to include:
include ':libraries:showcase'
Sync Project with gradle files
This StackOverflow answer goes over how to do this is much more detail if you have any troubles, but this method works for any library.
The compile dependency on ShowcaseView should likely be defined in app/build.gradle, not in the root project's build.gradle. Unless a project explicitly (configurations block) or implicitly (by applying a plugin such as java) defines a compile configuration, it won't have one, and an attempt to add a compile dependency will result in the error you mentioned.
I added this in build.gradle and it worked
compile 'com.github.amlcurran.showcaseview:library:5.4.3'

Use android-maps-utils in Android Studio

I am trying to use this library [1] in an Android project either with Android Studio or with ADT. But it doesn't work at all. In ADT I don't know how to handle gradle stuff and in Android Studio, when I try to "Import Project", I get the error "Could not find com.google.android.gms:play-services:3.1.36.
(don't have enough reputation to post picture, it's on imgur with xswZ3.jpg)
I am not familiar with gradle and I only have a vague idea of what it does but all I want is to use something like BubbleIconFactory f = new BubbleIconFactory(this) in my own project.
Any help is appreciated!

Perhaps your problem is needing the repositories outside of the buildscript block.
The repositories internal to the buildscript is for managing the gradle dependency itself, I believe. Here's how I resolved my problem with google-maps-utils as a library dependency. Hopefully this helps. I included my maps and support-v4 libs too.
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.10+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
// Support Libraries
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.1.32'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.0.1'
compile 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:0.3+'
}
com.google.android.gms:play-services:3.1.36 can be downloaded by going to your SDK Manager and installing the Extras->Google Repository package (you may want to install the Extras->Android Support Repository as well while you are there). These allow Gradle to automatically use these resources without the need for library projects or jars manually added to your project.
Add the following dependency to your Gradle build file:
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:0.2+'
}
You'll need to install the "Google Repository" from the Android SDK manager.
See demo/build.gradle for an example.
You can, of course, copy the library directory and use it like any other Android library project.
Let me know if this helps!

Steps:
First File>Project Structure>Click Plus Button >Import Graddle Project>Select the file(library folder) from the location where downloaded>CLick Ok.
Add this code to dependencies to that app module build.gradle file(remember there are two build.gradle files) :
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:0.4+'
}
Copy gradle.properties file contents of that Android-maps-util Library project app(found inside that project library folder) TO
gradle.properties file of your project(Simple copy and paste of content to the editor).
Click Sync Project with gradle files button. And you must be fine!

Import scribe-1.2.1.jar in Android Studio

What are the steps to import scribe-1.2.1.jar in android studio?
I have added the jar in the lib folder and have also added it using the add library option. But when I compile I am facing compile time error.
Gradle: package org.scribe.builder does not exist
Edit your module's build.gradle file, just append one line in the dependencies scope.
dependencies {
...
compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar')
compile files('libs/scribe-1.2.1.jar')
}
FYI: at this time Android Studio project setting did not affect the gradle build, so you must edit it yourself.
there are a user guide for gradle android plugin.
