I am trying to implement ActionBar-PullToRefresh from https://github.com/chrisbanes/ActionBar-PullToRefresh/wiki/QuickStart-ABC. I just made the switch from Eclipse to Android-Studio so I am totally new to AS and Gradle.
chrisbanes writes on the site:
The easiest way to add ActionBar-PullToRefresh to your project is via Gradle, you just need to add the following dependency to your build.gradle:
dependencies {
mavenCentral()
compile 'com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:extra-abc:+'
}
Does this mean that I don't have to download the library and Gradle takes care of it so that I always have the latest version? I just don't know where to put the above line. I have two gradle.build files one in my root that looks like:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.8.+'
}
}
and the one in my project which looks like:
apply plugin: 'android'
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.+'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.+'
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "19.0.1"
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')
}
}
Do I have to add a repository somewhere?
It will work when you put this line in your project build.gradle
, in the dependencies
section:
compile 'com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:extra-abc:+'
Also, add:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
So:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.+'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.+'
compile 'com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:extra-abc:+'
}
Gradle will download the needed resources automatically for you.
