How to import RecyclerView for Android L-preview

Trying to use the new RecyclerView from the support library. I downloaded the 20 update for the support library using the SDK manager.

I've added the jar file to the libs folder - and added to build path - no luck using the RecyclerView.

Tried to use also the gradle dependency according to Android Developer's API - not sure if this is the right place to look - this page is related more to AndroidTV :

 com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:20.0.+ 

Cannot gradle sync the project.

Any ideas?

What is RecyclerView Android studio?

RecyclerView is the ViewGroup that contains the views corresponding to your data. It's a view itself, so you add RecyclerView into your layout the way you would add any other UI element. Each individual element in the list is defined by a view holder object.

Is RecyclerView deprecated?

Today, suddenly Recyclerview. Viewholder became deprecated. Other, android project is no deprecated.

Figured it out.

You'll have to add the following gradle dependency :

compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:+' 

another issue I had compiling was the compileSdkVersion. Apparently you'll have to compile it against android-L

Your build.gradle file should look something like this:

apply plugin: 'android' android {     compileSdkVersion 'android-L'     buildToolsVersion '19.1.0'     [...] } dependencies {     compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])     compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:+' }
