Add commons-io dependency to gradle project in Android Studio

Question

Very simple question - how to add commons-io dependency to gradle Android project?

I tried the following

buildscript {
    repositories {
           


        

Answer 1

you need to declare a repository where you want to resolve the commons-io library from (e.g. MavenCentral):

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'android'

repositories{
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar')

    compile group: 'commons-io', name: 'commons-io', version: '2.0.1'
}
