将github项目导入android studio

Question

I want to use this library in my android application which has been developed in android studio IDE. I downloaded the zip file from githup and extracted, then paste the unzip file in a optional folder called 'subProject' in application root. image . Next I added this line to setting.gradle:

include ':app', ':subProject:rtree-3d'

and then change my application build.gradle to this as new dependency:

compile project(':subProject:rtree-3d')

But after cleaning and rebuilding my project I have this error: Error:Configuration with name 'default' not found.

I also change top line to compile fileTree(dir: 'subProject', include: ['rtree-3d']) but there was no succeed.

How can I add this github project to my android application to use? Any help will be appreciated.

This isn't a gradle-project (but Maven (see the pom.xml ?)), so the gradle build won't succeed, because it is looking for build.gradle -files.

You could build it with Maven, and add the resulting .jar file to your lib -folder of your project, in order to let gradle pick it up.

Or, even better, just add it as a dependency to your apps build.gradle

// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.github.davidmoten/rtree
compile group: 'com.github.davidmoten', name: 'rtree', version: '0.8-RC10'

latest stable version is

compile group: 'com.github.davidmoten', name: 'rtree', version: '0.7.6'

Edit Oh! my bad, actually rtree und rtree-3d istn't the same thing! So you would need to fork the rtree-3d project from github, build it with maven (clean install). Depending on your configuration gradle can access your local maven repo and pick the installed artifact from there. But for builds on different machines you would need something like a shared Sonatype Nexus. This is something to do, so you could just copy the rtree-3d.jar from your local maven repo to the lib-folder of your gradle project and add it to your subversion/git.
