Just switching over from Eclipse to Android Studio. I think I'm supposed to use Gradle to automatically download dependencies from the web. Sounds great, but I can't get it working with anything, in particular Google's flatbuffers.

So I found the link on the Maven repository, and I think I'm supposed to do something with the following:

// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.github.davidmoten/flatbuffers-java compile group: 'com.github.davidmoten', name: 'flatbuffers-java', version: '1.3.0.1'

But the comments in my project's Gradle (which is supposed to be a library by the way - but that's another story...) says I should not place my "dependencies here" (see below)

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules. buildscript { repositories { jcenter() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0' // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong // in the individual module build.gradle files } } allprojects { repositories { jcenter() } } task clean(type: Delete) { delete rootProject.buildDir }

So what am I supposed to do? I've heard of "modules" - so I could load flatbuffers in as a module?

I was updating the wrong build.gradle. I was updating the gradle of the package within the "app". So having updated my build.gradle file (Module: app) to include the following last dependency:

dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.1' compile group: 'com.github.davidmoten', name: 'flatbuffers-java', version: '1.3.0.1' }

it works nicely. Beginning to like AS now... hehe.

UPDATE

Been porting my stuff over to Android Studio today. I'm a total convert - very good and much easier than Eclipse.
