Scribe not importing correctly using gradle in android studio

Question

following the readme file on github:

I've added scribe to the dependency:

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4'
    classpath 'org.scribe:scribe:1.3.5'
}

The gradle build completes without errors but still i get errors:

Gradle: cannot find symbol class ServiceBuilder
Gradle: cannot find symbol class LinkedInApi
Gradle: cannot find symbol variable mRequestToken 
....

here is my build.gradle:

buildscript {
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4'
}
}

apply plugin: 'android'

repositories {
maven {
    credentials {
        id 'scribe-java-mvn-repo'
    }
    url "https://raw.github.com/fernandezpablo85/scribe-java/mvn-repo/"
}
}

dependencies {
compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar')
compile 'org.scribe:scribe:1.3.5'
} 

Answer 1

Create a new dependencies clause outside of the buildscript clause that looks like:

dependencies {
    compile 'org.scribe:scribe:1.3.5'
}

This is the dependencies clause for your code used by the java plugin.

Also make sure you have the repositories clause outside of the buildscript:

repositories {
   mavenCentral()
}

This is defines the repositories that will be searched for dependencies.

Remove the classpath 'org.scribe:scribe:1.3.5' from your buildscript dependencies clause. This clause is used for the buildscript itself.

Your new build.gradle file should look like:

buildscript {
   repositories {
      mavenCentral()
   }
   dependencies {
      classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4'
   }
}

apply plugin: 'android'

repositories {
   mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
   compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar')
   compile 'org.scribe:scribe:1.3.5'
}
