Visual Studio：在哪里可以编辑我的Android应用程序的依赖项？

Question

I'm right now at monetizing my app. In order to do this, I need to do the following:

Import the Mobile Ads SDK

Apps can import the Google Mobile Ads SDK with a gradle dependency. Open the app-level build.gradle file for your app, and look for a "dependencies" section.

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'
    compile com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:10.2.4'
}

I can absolutely NOT find this page where I can edit the dependencies. Can anyone hint me towards the right direction? THANKS :)

Answer 1

In Xamarin the dependencies need to be binded to C#. Luckily you do not have do that on your own for the Android Support AppCompat v7 and Play Services Ads because there are nuget packages:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Ads/ https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompat/

Just right click "References" in your Xamarin Android project and click "Manage NuGet Packages" and install the packages mentioned above or make use of the package manager console.

Inside your App Module you can find build.gradle file there you can write your dependency as.
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.satyamanand.helloworld"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

Answer 3

Inside Android Studio checkout the application Structure.

Answer 4

You can't find Gradle dependencies because you're not using Gradle, you're using xamarin which is not the same as native Android Development using Android Studio.

Looking at and Android Docs for this sort of thing will perhaps not be so useful.

I suggest you look here at the Xamarin Google Play Services module , this should get you started in the right direction.
