I'm trying to add a .jar
library to my project into the /libs
folder. Here is my grade.build
:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
dependencies {
compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar', 'libs/java-api-wrapper-1.2.0-all.jar')
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 17
buildToolsVersion "17.0.0"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 16
}
}
After I add that, I build my project and there are no errors. But when I try to use the class in my code private ApiWrapper wrapper
, I get an error:
Gradle: error: cannot find symbol class ApiWrapper
I can't quite find where the error is. Is my grade.build
not ok, or am I supposed to build it some other way?
Using the command line, in the root of your project, run :
./gradlew clean && ./gradlew build
Then recompile your project in studio and you should see your new lib.
Set minifyEnabled to false for all your library projects in build.gradle.

- As first option, i think will be enough
Syncronizing the Project with Gradle Files
.
- Another option, from the command line, run the batch file
gradlew.bat
located inside your project folder:
./gradlew clean && ./gradlew build
Goto File ⇒ Invalidate Caches & Restart
Solved my problem
I had a similar situation where Android Studio couldn't find a library that definitely existed. Even though I was able to compile my project in Android Studio, run it from Android Studio in the emulator or on a physical device, and build it from the command line using gradlew, the Android Studio IDE complained Cannot resolve symbol 'ConstraintLayout'
. I believe I had imported the library correctly because I followed Google's instructions: https://developer.android.com/training/constraint-layout/#add-constraintlayout-to-your-project.
Anyway, I ended up solving the problem as follows:
- Close Android Studio
- Delete the .idea folder in the project's directory
- Open Android Studio
- Re-import the project so Android Studio can regenerate the .idea folder
This in-fact solved the problem. I believe Android Studio somehow corrupted the .idea folder when I had done "Android Studio" > "Check for Updates" earlier in the day.
