无法通过Gradle导入com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils

Question

I tried to import com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils to my project in Android Studio 0.5.4 .

I get this Gradle Information and Error :

Information:[C:\Users\Gast1_000\android studio projects\GeoPicture\app\build\exploded-aar\com.google.maps.android\android-maps-utils\0.3\AndroidManifest.xml:2, C:\Users\Gast1_000\android studio projects\GeoPicture\app\build\exploded-aar\com.google.android.gms\play-services\4.3.23\AndroidManifest.xml:3] Main manifest has <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion='8'> but library uses minSdkVersion='9'


Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.
> Manifest merging failed. See console for more info.

My build.gradle:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:+'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.3.+'
    compile 'com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:0.3'
}

Project Manifest.xml

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="15"
    android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

I tried to change the minSdk version manually in the manifest of the maps-utils, but with each gradle sync it chnage it back. Is there any other possiblility to add the library in AS 0.5.4?

This seems to be a bug at the moment: https://github.com/googlemaps/android-maps-utils/issues/60

If Gradle overwrites you changes, just use Gradle to do these changes (as suggested in the above link) ;)

Add the following code block to your build file inside the android { .. } block.

applicationVariants.all{ variant ->
  variant.processManifest.doFirst {
    File manifestFile = file("${buildDir}/exploded-aar/com.google.maps.android/android-maps-utils/0.3/AndroidManifest.xml")
    if (manifestFile.exists()) {
      String content = manifestFile.getText('UTF-8')
      content = content.replaceAll(/minSdkVersion="8"/, 'minSdkVersion=\"9\"')
      manifestFile.write(content, 'UTF-8')
    }
  }
}

This of course isn't the best solution, but should do it until the bug is fixed:
