Question

can anyone help me add this library in build.gradle Android Studio.

https://github.com/chrisbanes/Android-PullToRefresh

I know it is deprecated but I want to use it, I would appreciate if someone could help me

}

as mentioned I want to use the deprecated library not new Actionbar-Pulltorefresh. tried to google it but couldn't find any help.

Answer 1

I suggest you to use ActionBarPullToRefresh (same author).

However, if you would like to use PullToRefresh, you have to clone the lib locally in a folder, and then add it as local dependency. This lib isn't on Central Maven as aar.

root
  app
    build.gradle
  lib
    pull
      src
      res
      build.gradle
  settings.gradle

In you app/build.gradle you have to add:

dependencies {
    // Library
    compile project(':lib:pull')
}

In lib/pull/build.gradle you have to define it as library and specify the right sourceset (it is a gist):

apply plugin: 'android-library'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "19.0.1"

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

In settings.gradle:

include ':lib:pull' ,':app'

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 {  
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    compile 'com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:library:+'
}

Rest gradle will do all work for you.

I've succesfully imported the libproject in Android Studio 1.0. The steps are the following

1.- Download and install PullToRefresh from the official GitHub. Unzip it. 2.- Create an empty Android Studio project. Mine is named "PrjLibDeps" 3.- In project's root folder, create a folder named "libs". Inside libs/, copy a "pulltorefresh" folder containing the unzipped file. Structure remains as shown below:

PrjLibdeps
|   settings.gradle
|   build.gradle
|   libs
      |  pulltorefresh
            | src, res, LICENSE, pom.xml...
|  app/
|   build.gradle
|   src
| ...

4.- Create a build.gradle file inside "pulltorefresh" folder. Copy-paste this sample code and set proper values to compileSdkVersion, buildToolsVersion, minSdkVersion, targetSdkVersion (just copy them from app/build.gradle)

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
dependencies {
   compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.3'
}
android {
  compileSdkVersion 20
  buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"
  defaultConfig {
     minSdkVersion 9
     targetSdkVersion 20
  }
  sourceSets {
    main {
       manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
       java.srcDirs = ['src']
       res.srcDirs = ['res']
    }
  }
}

5.- on app/build.gradle

dependencies {
   compile project(":PullToRefresh")
}

6.- Now, on project_root/settings.gradle:

include ‘:app', ':PullToRefresh'
project (':PullToRefresh').projectDir = new File('libs/pulltorefresh')

7.- "Sync now" 8.- CMD+F9 (Make project)
