I’m trying to use the new Google Glass Development kit with Android Studio. Unfortunately I'm not having much success.
I get the error: "Gradle: package com.google.android.glass.touchpad does not exist"
I've added uses-library to the manifest as follows:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme" >
<uses-library
android:name="com.google.android.glass"
android:required="true" />
<activity
android:name="com.glass.test.MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
Then I've added the gdk.jar to the libs directory. And I've added the following to the dependency section of my build.gradle.
dependencies {
compile files('libs/gdk.jar')
}
Any help with this would be very appreciated.
Change the compileSdkVersion
in your build.gradle
file to refer directly to the GDK add-on:
android {
compileSdkVersion "Google Inc.:Glass Development Kit Preview:19"
buildToolsVersion "19.0.2"
// other stuff...
}
(The buildToolsVersion
can be newer than 19.0.2 if you have a higher version of the SDK installed, as long as it's at least 19.0.2.)
Today is 1/10/2015, and from now on, the best option becomes:
Change the compileSdkVersion in your build.gradle file to refer directly to the GDK add-on:
android {
compileSdkVersion "Google Inc.:Glass Development Kit Preview:19"
buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"
// other stuff...
}
You should install 19.1.0 build tools first.
did you try right clicking on the jar in the libs folder and hitting "add as library"?
EDIT: I've found that you have to do that in addition to adding it in module settings and the build.gradle. Also a clean/rebuild with gradle may make it work as well.
After KitKat, changing compileSdkVersion
to "Google Inc.:Glass Development Kit Preview:19" worked for me. Note: I also had to restart Android Studio after installing the GDK Preview from it's built in SDK Manager. The GDK Preview wasn't recognized by Android Studio until I restarted.
