How to use provided scope for jar file in Gradle build?

Question

I need to use Amazon Maps and Amazon Messaging in my apps.

With gradle, I did not succeed in adding the Amazon dependencies with a \"provided\" scope as they need to

Answer 1

A little late to the show, using gradle you copy the .jar to the libs folder and in your gradle file you have:

dependencies {
 ....
 provided files('libs/someLibrary')
 ....
}
