here is the error , i am quite new to this so m not aware how i resolve.

Have tried by importing project as gradle but same error

inside master

buildscript {

    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        // Plug-in release notes: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.11.+'
        compile 'com.edmodo:cropper:1.0.1'

    }
}

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    // See latest Gradle version: http://www.gradle.org/downloads
    gradleVersion = '1.12'

}

inside cropper

apply plugin: 'android'

dependencies {
    compile project(':cropper')
}

android {

    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "19.1"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 7
        targetSdkVersion 19
    }

    sourceSets {
        main {
            manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
            java.srcDirs = ['src']
            resources.srcDirs = ['src']
            aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
            renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
            res.srcDirs = ['res']
            assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

You can import it in two ways.

First method:

build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {    
    ...
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.edmodo:cropper:1.0.1'
}

Second one:

Download cropper.

Put cropper folder inside projectname directory.

Edit settings.gradle:

include ':app', ':cropper'

Edit build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {    
    ...
}

dependencies {
    ...
    compile project(':cropper')
}

Library Project:

If you would like to use cropper as library project you need to do:

Clone cropper.

Import project (Eclipse ADT ...) using Android Studio.

Known error will appear after sync fail:

Error:(47, 0) No such property: sonatypeRepo for class: org.gradle.api.publication.maven.internal.ant.DefaultGroovyMavenDeployer

Inside project root directory create gradle.properties with:

sonatypeUsername=
sonatypePassword=
sonatypeRepo=

Fix plugin version:

Error:The project is using an unsupported version of the Android Gradle plug-in (0.11.2). The recommended version is 1.1.0. Fix plugin version and re-import project

Now you will be able to run CropperSample project. Since cropper is now working you can do whatever you want with it.

Answer 2

You should not put your application specific dependencies in the "master" build file. In your case, the master build.gradle file buildscript block should look like this:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.11.+'
    }
}

And then append this to the build.gradle file of the app where you want to use Cropper, in this case the CropperSample project:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.edmodo:cropper:1.0.1'
}

I noticed you added compile project(':cropper') to the build.gradle file of the Cropper project. This will not work because you are basically making the Cropper project depend on itself. If you want to download the code and use that instead of Maven Central, then you should add the dependency to CropperSample and remove that line from the Cropper project's build file.

Answer 3

1] Download Cropper from https://github.com/edmodo/cropper

Unzip

cropper-master.zip

2] Go to Android Studio File --> New --> Import Module

Import Only ../cropper-maste/cropper folder

In Android Studio Project check cropper module added.

3] Goto cropper module's buld.gradle

Add comment or remove

uploadArchives {
       /* repository(url: sonatypeRepo) {
            authentication(userName: sonatypeUsername,
                    password: sonatypePassword)
        }*/

}

4] Goto Android Studio Project's build.gradle

Add dependencies

dependencies {
     compile project(':cropper')
}

5] Rebuild, Sync Gradle.
