I am using gradle in Android studio for an android project. I have a jar that I downloaded called TestFlightAppLib.jar
. This jar isn't present in the maven repository so I can't just put it in my build.gradle
.
How can I add this JAR file to my project? I don't see any option to add an external jar to the project.
Update
This is my complete build.gradle
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 18
buildToolsVersion "18.1.1"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 8
targetSdkVersion 18
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.actionbarsherlock:actionbarsherlock:4.4.0@aar'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.+'
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.4'
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:1.2.2'
compile 'com.github.rtyley:roboguice-sherlock:1.5'
compile 'org.roboguice:roboguice:2.0'
compile files('libs/TestFlightLib.jar')
}
This is the error message:
Gradle: Execution failed for task ':MyProject:compileDebug'.
> Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.

Gradle: error: package com.testflightapp.lib does not exist
Here is the class:
import com.testflightapp.lib.TestFlight;
public class MainApplication {
}
Gradle declares dependencies on JAR files inside your project's module_name /libs/ directory (because Gradle reads paths relative to the build.gradle file). This declares a dependency on version 12.3 of the "app-magic" library, inside the "com.example.android" namespace group.
In its simplest form, creating an executable JAR with Gradle is just a matter of adding the appropriate entries to the manifest. However, it's much more common to have dependencies that need to be included on the classpath, making this approach tricky in practice.
Put the jar in a folder called libs (created on the root of your project). Once moved right click on the jar and you will find "add as library". Click on it and select the module!
