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!

I'm using Android Studio 3.0.1 and I'm trying to add an online dependency and while Gradle initially syncs without a problem it doesn't show my dependency in External Libraries and my code that references the dependency doesn't work.
Here's a snippet of what my build.gradle file looks like:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/' }
}
dependencies {
compile group: 'com.fortysevendeg.android', name: 'swipelistview', version: '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
}
I'm pretty new to android development (took over an existing project from a dev who quit without leaving any documentation) so I'm not sure if this is a mistake with how to add a project dependency or if there is a problem with the dependency that I'm trying to add. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I was able to get this to work by changing the dependency declaration to:
compile group: 'com.fortysevendeg.android', name: 'swipelistview', version: '1.0-SNAPSHOT', classifier: 'jar-with-dependencies'
The library artifacts up on the repository include an apklib and a JAR with a special classifier. The apklib format is not supported by Android Studio, and unfortunately the classifier on the JAR means that it's not accessible simply using the group-name-version format when declaring dependencies.
Your build.gradle file seems fine. If you want to keep the library specified as an external library, you can try and define the dependency using the alternative notation, replace:
compile group: 'com.fortysevendeg.android', name: 'swipelistview', version: '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
with:
compile 'com.fortysevendeg.android:swipelistview:1.0-SNAPSHOT'
The alternative approach is to download the jar file yourself and use it as a local dependency. If you navigate to the maven repository you can inspect the package which is included as a dependency and download the jar directly. Place the jar file in the libs folder of your project and add the following to your build.gradle file:
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
For further details on how to configure the dependencies of your gradle project, check out the Android Studio documentation here.
Based on the information you have provided, this should fix your issues. If this does not solve the error then there may be other issues with the project.
Your dependencies should not placed in the top-level build.gradle file where the repositories are defined. There is even a comment in that file that says so, by default.
You app dependencies should be the module's build.gradle along with the others like android-support
Additionally, that library is very old, and is a SNAPSHOT build, meaning it isn't meant to be generally used in a release environment. You should find an alternative... And there are plenty of other ListView swiping ones
I need to integrate MoPub inside an android library shared by 3 different games.
I tried to use the fabric plugin with no success... after some attempts I get this error:
Error:Failed to resolve: com.mopub.volley:mopub-volley:1.1.0
Then I also tried to follow this guide that you can find here (https://github.com/mopub/mopub-android-sdk/wiki/Getting-Started) but I always get some errors (I can't execute the gradle command via terminal or I get the same error as mentioned above).
Can someone help me?
Thank you,
Mirko
UPDATE
Thanks to #Edward I was able to import correctly mopub-sdk in my project.
In order to fix the mopub-volley error, first clean the solution, read which files are missing in the console, look at the path, recreate the indicated path and add mopub-volley-1.1.0.jar, mopub-volley-1.1.0.pom in that folder.
Rebuild and you are ready to go!
In my case, mopub-sdk was looking for the mopub-volley lib inside an
inexistent folder in the same path of the android sdk.
If you get another error related to the millenial sdk, add this line in the dependencies section of the build.gradle file inside the mopub-sdk library:
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
you should get something like this:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:22.0.0'
compile 'com.mopub.volley:mopub-volley:1.1.0'
}
Hope this can help you!
Go download the MoPub SDK.
Unzip and you will get a mopub-sdk folder
Navigate to your ‘Project location’, go into your project folder, and drop the unzipped mopub-sdk into the folder.
Navigate back to Android Studio and open your project's settings.gradle file and include the MoPub SDK as a module as shown below. You may need to sync Gradle again in Android Studio to have the ‘mopub-sdk’ show up in the left Project window.
include ':app', ':mopub-sdk'
Open your project's build.gradle file and add jcenter as a repository and the MoPub SDK as a dependency:
repositories {
jcenter()
}
...
dependencies {
compile project(':mopub-sdk')
...
}
For those late to the party:
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
compile('com.mopub:mopub-sdk:4.8.0#aar') {
transitive = true
}
}
just make sure you've added jcenter() in the your repositories. fabric does not do this automatically for some reason
It looks like there is no mopub-volley lib into mavencentral or jcenter
So tou can try to use
compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library:1.0.18'
instead of
compile 'com.mopub.volley:mopub-volley:1.1.0'
It helps for me.
I'm trying to use the twitter4j library. And I saw on their website that you can use Maven to integrate it.
So In my gradle.build file I did
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
jcenter()
}
and compile:
project(":core") {
apply plugin: "java"
dependencies {
compile "com.badlogicgames.gdx:gdx:$gdxVersion"
compile "com.badlogicgames.gdx:gdx-box2d:$gdxVersion"
compile "com.badlogicgames.gdx:gdx-controllers:$gdxVersion"
compile "com.badlogicgames.gdx:gdx-freetype:$gdxVersion"
compile 'org.twitter4j:twitter4j-core:4.0.3'
}
}
This doesn't seem to do the trick. I can't use any of the classes from twitter4j even after cleaning and refreshing everything. What I'm concerned about is that I downloaded the twitter4j-4.0.3.zip and extracted it , but I never placed the folder or it's content anywhere? Feels like i'm missing something?
I faced this kind of issue few weeks back when i try to utilize Twitter4j library through Gradle.
What i did was,
Downloaded the Twitter4J zip file from their site.
Open the extracted folder and there you will find lib folder. Open it.
You will find some .lib files like twitter4j-core-4.0.3.jar. This file core is important and you need to add remaining .jars when you use that application. If you're not sure, then copy all .jars and paste it in libs folder.
Then click File -> Project Structure -> Select app in the left column -> choose Dependency Tab.
Click + in right top and choose File Dependency then select the jars in libs folder.
6. Click Ok and you're done.
Good luck :)
Even I faced the similar problem recently and adding it like this to the gradle dependencies seems to work for me:
compile group: 'org.twitter4j', name: 'twitter4j-core', version: '4.0.7'
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'
I'm using Square's Wire library for my Android app, using Android Studio with Gradle.
I originally added the wire-runtime-1.2.0.jar into a libs folder in my module, and added the dependency to Gradle like this in my build.gradle file:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
}
That worked fine.
I'm new to Gradle and Android Studio, but based on the way I'm depending on the Google Support and Play Services libraries, I thought I might be able to remove the wire-runtime-1.2.0.jar library from my repository and just declare a dependency like this (the line is from the Maven repository):
dependencies {
compile 'com.squareup.wire:wire:1.0.0'
}
But if I do that then I hit this error:
Gradle: package com.squareup.wire does not exist
Is there a way to set up this dependency without importing the JAR file directly? Or does that only work for libraries that you can install through the SDK Manager?
Some packages, like com.squareup.wire, have multiple artifacts in Maven Central. You need to choose the right one for your needs. In this case, the equivalent of wire-runtime-1.2.0.jar is the wire-runtime artifact, not the wire artifact.
Here's what your dependencies section should look like:
dependencies {
compile 'com.squareup.wire:wire-runtime:1.2.0'
}
