add maven repository to build.gradle
I added a custom maven repository to build.gradle in Android Studio but the dependency is not being found
Maven repository and dependency
<repository>
<id>achartengine</id>
<name>Public AChartEngine repository</name>
<url>https://repository-achartengine.forge.cloudbees.com/snapshot/</url>
</repository>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.achartengine</groupId>
<artifactId>achartengine</artifactId>
<version>1.2.0</version>
</dependency>
build.gradle
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {
url "https://repository-achartengine.forge.cloudbees.com/snapshot/"
}
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
compile group: 'org.achartengine', name: 'achartengine', version: '1.2.0'
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "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']
}
// Move the tests to tests/java, tests/res, etc...
instrumentTest.setRoot('tests')
// Move the build types to build-types/<type>
// For instance, build-types/debug/java, build-types/debug/AndroidManifest.xml, ...
// This moves them out of them default location under src/<type>/... which would
// conflict with src/ being used by the main source set.
// Adding new build types or product flavors should be accompanied
// by a similar customization.
debug.setRoot('build-types/debug')
release.setRoot('build-types/release')
}
}
Error message in Android Studio:

What am I missing in build.gradle?
After
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
You should add this:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {
url "https://repository-achartengine.forge.cloudbees.com/snapshot/"
}
}
@Benjamin explained the reason.
If you have a maven with authentication you can use:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {
credentials {
username xxx
password xxx
}
url 'http://mymaven/xxxx/repositories/releases/'
}
}
It is important the order.
You will need to define the repository outside of buildscript
. The buildscript
configuration block only sets up the repositories and dependencies for the classpath of your build script but not your application.
Android Studio Users:
If you want to use grade, go to http://search.maven.org/ and search for your maven repo. Then, click on the "latest version" and in the details page on the bottom left you will see "Gradle" where you can then copy/paste that link into your app's build.gradle.
You have to add repositories
to your build file. For maven repositories you have to prefix repository name with maven{}
repositories {
maven { url "http://maven.springframework.org/release" }
maven { url "http://maven.restlet.org" }
mavenCentral()
}
Add the maven repository outside the buildscript
configuration block of your main build.gradle
file as follows:
repositories {
maven {
url "https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-maven-repository/raw/master/releases"
}
}
Make sure that you add them after the following:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
