Add Github Library To Android Project

Question

I'm trying to add the following into my project:

https://github.com/florent37/AwesomeBar

I'm not exactly sure how to do this after reading the readme on the github. I tried adding:

compile 'com.github.florent37:awesomebar:1.0.3'

Into the dependancies of my gradle file but this caused an error.

And then how do I actually use this action bar? Do I just create a new .xml file with the code in the readme? Then the java code into a class?

Answer 1

Use implementation instead of compile :

implementation 'com.github.florent37:awesomebar:1.0.3'

And make sure you have:

jcenter()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }

In your root build.gradle repositories.

And then how do I actually use this action bar? Do I just create a new .xml file with the code in the readme? Then the java code into a class?

Check your import in layout xml. It should be -

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
