This question is a sequel to this one.
In an existing Eclipse solution I have a library project which is used as a Android Dependency in the main app project. That means that if I edit this library, and compile, the main project is updated with the latest from that library.
I'm trying to do the same in Android Studio. That means not importing a library, but using it as a reference or dependency in the app project. I've been trying for two days now with no luck. Help is HIGHLY appreciated.
build.gradle (of the app project - there is nothing interesting her as I didn't change it much)
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 21
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-v7:21.0.3'
}
You can try this steps:
Download library
File/import module
Select your library and rename :LibraryName
Go to build.gradle and write.
build.gradle
dependencies {
......
compile project(':LibraryName')
.....
}
Then if you import module you can edit library and proyect its updated
Say you have 2 projects, 1 application and 1 library project, you want to push all your external dependencies to your library project, so your application project only depends on the library project:
settings.gradle
include ':app'
include ':library'
app/build.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
dependencies {
compile project(':library')
}
library/build.gradle
apply plugin: 'android-library'
dependencies {
compile 'external-dependencies-1'
compile 'external-dependencies-2'
...
}

I'm a beginner in android developing whith Android Studio.
I'm trying to include the htmlcleaner library in my project, but when I rebuild the project, Android Studio return this Error
Error: COnfiguration whit name 'default' not found
I added in the root folder of my project the library folder, so I added this line in settings.gradle
include ':htmlcleaner'
and this line in build.gradle
compile project (':htmlcleaner')
Is there anyone who can help me? thanks
to include many informations, I post the build.gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.rob_company_domain.sunshine"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile project (':htmlcleaner')
}
If you want to add your htmlcleaner library to your project in Android studio, you can do it in three standard ways. Please read this link https://stackoverflow.com/a/35369267/5475941. In this post I explained how to import your JAR files in Android studio and I explained all possible ways step by step with screenshots. I hope it helps.
I am encountering problems when trying to import libraries from github in android studio projects. Very few libraries are getting imported successfully. Here is my method of importing in android studio project:
Download zip from github.
Extract the respective library.
Import module in android studio project then import the library and adding dependencies.
Here is the error tht I am encountering when I am trying to import material drawer library whose link is:https://github.com/mikepenz/MaterialDrawer
Error:No such property: GROUP for class: org.gradle.api.publication.maven.internal.ant.DefaultGroovyMavenDeployer
Is my method of importing libraries from github correct?
This is my module gradle.
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.works.vipul.materialdrawer"
minSdkVersion 15
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.mikepenz:materialdrawer:3.1.2#aar') {
transitive = true
}
}
You should resolve materialdrawer dependency by gradle.
Add these in your build.gradle under repositories
repositories {
mavenCentral() //add this line
}
also add this under your dependencies
compile('com.mikepenz:materialdrawer:3.1.2#aar') {
transitive = true
}
I'm importing a project that may have been created in Eclipse to Android Studio. I'm not quite sure how to migrate to Gradle and the official docs aren't much of a help. The structure is as follows:
> app-android
> app
> swipelist_lib
> coollib_2
> another lib
> ...
The project has no build.gradle files so I added one in app-android and app. Then followed Studio to add a Gradle home. What exactly do I add in these files? Should I be adding the libraries manually by going through Project Structure > Dependencies or through the build.gradle file?
I'm currently getting Error:(1, 0) Plugin with id 'com.android.application' not found. and my project only has app folder showing (I'm assuming it should have the same structure as above)
My current app build.gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "19.0.0"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 8
targetSdkVersion 19
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile project(":lib")
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.0.1'
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}
The app-android build.grade file:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.1’
}
}
Change 2.2.1 to 1.1.0, which is the latest current version of the Gradle for Android plugin. 2.2.1 is the version of Gradle, which goes in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties, in the distributionUrl, if you have those.
Should I be adding the libraries manually by going through Project Structure > Dependencies or through the build.gradle file?
Either way works. Personally, I work with the build.gradle files directly.
In Android Studio support library appcompat (for ActionBar) is defined as Gradle dependency.
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
}
That resolves to get v4 as well.
How to see source when clicking to into classes?
e.g. android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
Currently Android Studio says
// IntelliJ API Decompiler stub source generated from a class file
// Implementation of methods is not available
For ADT it was How to add source + javadoc for android-support-v7?
Following from the above research done by Paul Verest...
IDE: Android studio 1.3.2
It is a 2-step process: Consider this sample build.gradle
1) Add the following to your build.gradle (Module:app) - search the 2 //Add comments below.
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'idea' //Add
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.mycompany.android.myapp"
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.0'
}
//Add
idea {
module {
downloadJavadoc = true
downloadSources = true
}
}
2) Rebuild project.
After this point if you want to see source in Android Studio, it will pull up the source *.java instead of decompiled *.class
Thanks to Setu for hint. As I already had all sources before, I just added in app/build.gradle
apply plugin: 'idea'
idea {
module{
sourceDirs += file("E:\\Android\\sdk\\extras\\android\\support\\v4\\src\\")
sourceDirs += file("E:\\Android\\sources\\platform_frameworks_support\\v7\\appcompat\\src")
}
}
below dependencies section and press "Sync project with Gradle Files"
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.
