I imported a project downloaded from GitHub into my Android Studio project as module.
The "Import module..." wizard worked fine, but when the Adroid Studio tried to rebuild the project, it returned me this error:
Cannot get property 'compileSdkVersion' on extra properties extension as it does not exist Open File
The error is related to this line in the "build.gradle" file of the imported module:
compileSdkVersion rootProject.compileSdkVersion
I tried to add "ext" section in the project "build.gradle" like this:
ext {
compileSdkVersion 26
}
But in this way I receive a new error:
Gradle DSL method not found: 'compileSdkVersion()' Possible causes: ...
In your top-level file use:
ext {
compileSdkVersion = 26
}
In your module/build.gradle
file use:
android {
compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
...
}
In build.gradle you need to write compilesdkversion under android
tag as in this example:
android {
..
compileSdkVersion 26 // 26 is an example
..}
By the way. You can build that module as library then import it into your project as .aar
file.
Change your .gradle android
part to this
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
defaultConfig {
applicationId "your App id"
minSdkVersion 18
targetSdkVersion 26
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
