Added maven to android project

Question

I'm trying to add https://github.com/npgall/concurrent-trees/blob/master/documentation/Downloads.md to my project in the gradle file.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        maven {
            url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/'
        }
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies{
        compile group: 'com.googlecode.concurrent-trees', artifactId: 'concurrent-trees', version: '2.4.0'
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'
        classpath 'com.jakewharton.sdkmanager:gradle-plugin:0.12.0'
    }
}

I'm getting the error:

Gradle DSL method not found: 'compile()'

This is for the specific module. I'm a little confused. What could be causing this?

Answer 1

Looks like you're adding it to your project's build.gradle. Try to add it to dependencies of your module's build.gradle

compile 'com.googlecode.concurrent-trees:concurrent-trees:2.4.0'

Quoting docs

Android Studio configures projects to use the Maven Central Repository by default. (This configuration is included in the top-level build file for the project.)

and

In most cases, you only need to edit the build files at the module level.
