库，Gradle和Android Studio

Question

I have been using Android Studio for a while now and I've decided to switch to Gradle. That caused a whole lot of issues. I managed to get the project to import after some fiddling with the build.gradle file. I am also using 2 libraries for my project(redlaser and ksoap2), that have been messed up. And I'm also trying to add New Relic to my project.

Here is my build file :

buildscript {
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.+'
  }
  }
    apply plugin: 'android'

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
}

android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "18.0.1"

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

    instrumentTest.setRoot('tests')

    debug.setRoot('build-types/debug')
    release.setRoot('build-types/release')
  }
 }

This works but ofc redlaser won't work with it.

I have searched and searched and I cannot find any good tutorials that walk me through creating a propper build file. Also, merging this https://rpm.newrelic.com/accounts/447602/mobile/2760487/deploy caused issues and won't work.

The redlaser library is redlasersdk.jar/com.ebay.redlasersdk/ (they are already added as libraries, by right-click and add as library) I do NOT have a settings.gradle file. AND if i look at my project's structure in the right panel there is no libraries tab. (but I did manage to access it by clicking on an icon of an error notice on the bottom of the Project Structure tab)

Any help would be appreciated.

I guess this Including local jar file in project at build time using gradle - issue is your appraoch to go. It provides a way to include jars in your gradle dependencies, but I haven't tested it yet because I am not using Android Studio due to some crash's I had when evaluating it. The Intelij - IDE is pretty perferct but licenced under commercial terms. The direct download from google of the adt - bundle was crashing, too, so I switched to the old school styled Eclipse ADT - approach. Besides: I have made very good experiences with the Zebra Crossing Framework in terms of Barcode - Scanning, which is Open Source.
