I need to use the commons-codec-1.9.jar from the commons-codec-1.9 library supplied by Apache. I've used this as a library in another project in NetBeans, so I already had the required .jar file that I needed to import. I copied the jar file from the NetBeans project and put it in my app project (app:libs folder) and right-clicked and chose the "Add as library..." option. I added it to my project dependencies as well via File > Project Structure > Dependencies. I created the import for the library in the classes I've written that use the library, and I get no errors and the code builds. However, when I run the app, it breaks and throws a NoSuchMethod exception... even though it is there.
Here are the contents of my build.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 20
buildToolsVersion '20.0.0'
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.<path_stuff>"
minSdkVersion 17
targetSdkVersion 20
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile files('libs/commons-codec-1.9.jar')
}
Here is my settings.gradle
include ':app'
I have also recently been getting a build error after I removed the commons-codec stuff from the libs folder and tried to re-add it. The error says something along the lines of "Build failed: could not find task 'assemble' in project " as if Android Studio thinks this is another project. Can someone please help me understand what is going on here and where I am going wrong?
No such method error details:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64.encodeBase64String
Edit: Realized I included the incorrect build.gradle file. Updated settings.gradle to remove the include statement. Included correct build.gradle and NoSuchMethod error.
Remove include ':libs:commons-codec-1.9: from your settings.gradle.
Add compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar') to your dependencies block in your module's build.gradle file.
android {
...
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
}
This will automatically compile any .jar file in your libs folder into your project.

Problem - i have my own android library with some tiny functions.
My library uses others - f.e. Hawk (no sql database).
My library gradle file:
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
buildscript {
repositories {
maven { url "https://www.jitpack.io" }
}
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 18
targetSdkVersion 26
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'library.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.2'
compile 'com.github.orhanobut:hawk:1.23'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
Library works fine. And if i use it as project inside another project - it work too. But when i generate *.aar file (with gradle -> assembleRelease) and include into separate project - it fails. Project see ONLY MY library's class. Hawk com.orhanobut.hawk package and ofc others (if i will use then) are not visible. So ClassNotFoundException comes.
If i remove
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'library.pro'
the result doesnt change.
I tried to add the following line into proguard file (library.pro)
-keep class com.orhanobut.hawk {public *;}
-keep class com.orhanobut.hawk.* {public *;}
Result is the same.
So i have two question:
1 - what should i do to make my main project see my library's third party dependencies?
2 - is is possible to obfuscate my library's code (only mine, not dependencies)?
what should i do to make my main project see my library's third party dependencies?
The aar file doesn't contain the transitive dependencies and doesn't have a pom file which describes the dependencies used by the module.
It means that, if you are importing a aar file using a flatDir repository you have to specify the dependencies also in your project.
You should use a maven repository, private or public, to avoid the issue.
In this case, gradle downloads the dependencies using the pom file which will contains the dependencies list.
Another way to solve the problem of dependencies is to get the jar files of the dependencies you want to use and place them in the libs folder of your module. This will copy all the your dependency jars into your library's jar or aar.
Note that I have emphasized jar because you cannot include aar file in libs folder, gradle still doesn't support aar file inside aar out of the box. There are a few gradle plugins like fataar which solve that problem.
I am currently trying to build an android studio project using a dependency from the openimaj Java library.
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.mapinguari.myapplication"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 22
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
compile 'org.openimaj:openimaj:1.3.1'
}
Is my module build file. It reports no errors when syncing to the IDE.
However when I try to construct any of the classes in one of the source files the Android Studio does not recognize any of the classes from the openimaj dependency.
Any Help much appreciated.
Thank you!
I think it might be because you've specified a non-jar OpenIMAJ dependency (specifically you've told it to link against the OpenIMAJ master pom file, which only contains references to the different sub-modules). You probably need to actually choose the specific modules that you want - for example if your application is doing image processing, then add the dependency org.openimaj:image-processing:1.3.1.
Edit:
It seems that the batik svg libraries have a circular dependency somewhere that breaks Gradle (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BATIK-1098). This is what causes an eventual StackOverflowError. Additionally, something is pulling in xml-apis which will conflict with Android. Assuming you don't mind not have SVG image support, then the following should work:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {
url "http://maven.openimaj.org"
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.+'
compile('org.openimaj:image-processing:1.3.1') {
exclude group: 'org.apache.xmlgraphics'
exclude group: 'xml-apis'
}
}
You might also want to add additional exclusions for dependencies that are not needed in your app - it seems that just including org.openimaj:image-processing pulls in lots of things that are almost certainly not going to be needed (I've created an issue for that here: https://github.com/openimaj/openimaj/issues/97).
I am trying to add the this jar file to my Android Studio project:
I did the necessary steps to add the jar as 'library'. But build gives me the following error:
Error:error reading C:\Users\Malik\AndroidStudioProjects\test6\app\libs\imageviewtouch.jar; error in opening zip file
tion timeout.)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
I tried adding another jar file I downloaded from somewhere and that didn't give the error.
Is this jar file corrupted or am I missing a dependency?
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.greenbergc.test6"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.0'
compile files('libs/about-0.2.1.jar')
compile files('libs/imageviewtouch.jar')
}
I tried to add this jar file and successfully added without any error. I don't know how you add this file. This is the process that I use to add this jar file :
Downloaded this project from github.
Extract the project and get jar file from libs folder.
Now inside my project's libs folder, I simple paste this jar file.
In android studio, go to libs folder -> right click on imageviewtouch jar file -> add as library.
Done
Summary:
I have an AAR file that depends on a JAR file, when I build the AAR project, it doesn't contain the JAR code.
Details:
I have a Java SDK library project that contains code that we use for Java web projects and such, this library is created using Gradle and resides in an internal nexus server (as a JAR).
The goal is to provide an "Android configured" version of this JAR library through an AAR library that multiple Android Applications can use and minimize the effort (and boilerplate code) to implement it. This AAR file is also uploaded to the nexus server to be used by the Android Application projects.
My AAR project includes a gradle dependency for my Java SDK library (the JAR) but when built, the AAR doesn't include any classes from it.
Code:
This is the Java SDK project's gradle file:
apply plugin: 'java'
//noinspection GroovyUnusedAssignment
sourceCompatibility = 1.7
version = '1.1.1'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
jar {
from {
configurations.compile.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) }
}
}
dependencies {
testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.11'
testCompile 'org.apache.directory.studio:org.apache.commons.io:2.4'
compile 'org.springframework:spring-web:3.1.1.RELEASE'
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.3'
}
This is the gradle file for my AAR Project, note that I removed the Maven repository declarations to my nexus server from it. I guess it shouldn't matter for the sake of this question.
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "2.2.2"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
lintOptions {
abortOnError false
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'
compile ('com.mycompany:javasdk:1.1.1')
}
This is the gradle file for my Android Project, again I removed the nexus server references:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.mycompany.application1"
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'
compile ('com.mycompany:androidsdk:2.2.2#aar')
}
NOTE: I initially solved the issue by adding the JAR in the lib directory of the AAR project, but this is undesired. It makes having a nexus server useless. It would be good that we can just bump the JAR's version number in the AAR project's gradle file and the update happens automatically at compile time.
NOTE2: I tried adding transitive=true to my AAR dependency in the Android Project but it didn't solved anything, the real issue is that when building the AAR project, the JAR project code doesn't get bundled.
You can add this task:
task copyLibs(type: Copy) {
from configurations.compile
into 'libs'
}
Dependencies will be downloaded from your Nexus, but when you need package the library, execute this task first and jar files will be copied and included inside final aar.
By default, AAR does not include any dependencies. Solution mentioned by #Hector should work for gradle plugin < 3.0. For Gradle plugin 3.0+, try custom config as mentioned here.
android { ... }
// Add a new configuration to hold your dependencies
configurations {
myConfig
}
dependencies {
....
myConfig 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
myConfig 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.1.0'
...
}
task copyLibs(type: Copy) {
from configurations.myConfig
into "libs"
}
None of the suggestions helped me for Gradle 4.6, so I wasted the whole day inventing my own.
Eventually I found a good Gist and modified it for my version of Gradle:
https://gist.github.com/stepio/824ef073447eb8d8d654f22d73f9f30b
The upper ones didn't work for me in android tools 3.6.2 with Gradle. 5.6.1 . For anyone having the same issue, using https://github.com/kezong/fat-aar-android in the end worked fine for me.
I had posted a previous question and ask this in the comments, but received no response. I have been struggling with finding a solution to this for a couple weeks now.
I am trying to add .jar files to my program for uploading a document in an android app. However, it says gradle was unsuccessful and it could not find property 'file'.
Here is the error:
Error:(25, 0) Could not find property 'file' on org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler_Decorated#41762346.
Here is the code
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.ashleygreen.healthcareapp"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
compile file 'libs/httpclient-4.2.2.jar.zip'
compile file 'libs/httpmime-4.0.jar.zip'
}
Firstly, Gradle cannot work with zipped jar files - you'll have to unzip the jar files first.
When you include the line
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
This means that any file ending in .jar will be included as a dependency as long as it is in the libs directory. Therefore there is no need to use either of the last lines (as those libraries are already included via the first line).
However, if you did want to include a single jar file from another directory, you're missing the parentheses after file:
compile file('libs/httpmime-4.0.jar')
I faced the same error. However, the following worked for me (in android studio 1.5):
compile files ('libs/httpclient-4.2.2.jar.zip')
compile files('libs/httpmime-4.0.jar.zip')
Notice it's files with an extra 's' with parentheses. Only file is not recognized.
