Best way to incorporate Volley (or other library) into Android Studio project

Question

I\'ve seen different advice on the best way to do this This question covers creating a jar. Elsewhere, I\'ve seen advice to simply copy the volley source into your own proje

Answer 1

UPDATE:

compile 'com.android.volley:volley:1.0.0'

OLD ANSWER: You need the next in your build.gradle of your app module:

dependencies {
        compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library:1.0.19'
        (Rest of your dependencies)

    }

This is not the official repo but is a highly trusted one.

Answer 2

As pointed out by others as well, Volley is officially available on Github:

Add this line to your gradle dependencies for volley:

compile 'com.android.volley:volley:1.0.0'

---

To install volley from source read below:

I like to keep the official volley repository in my app. That way I get it from the official source and can get updates without depending on anyone else and mitigating concerns expressed by other people.

Added volley as a submodule alongside app.

git submodule add -b master https://github.com/google/volley.git volley

In my settings.gradle, added the following line to add volley as a module.

include ':volley'

In my app/build.gradle, I added a compile dependency for the volley project

compile project(':volley')

That's all! Volley can now be used in my project.

Everytime I want to sync the volley module with Google's repo, i run this.

git submodule foreach git pull
