Adding kSOAP dependency to Gradle project

Question

I\'m trying to make kSOAP working in my Android project with Gradle.

This is my project\'s build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
               


        

Answer 1

I am using @amitav13's solution but the URL of the repository has changed:

repositories {
        maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/ksoap2-android-releases' }
    }

Current version as of now is 3.6.0

compile 'com.google.code.ksoap2-android:ksoap2-android:3.6.0'

This did work for me.

Answer 2

I was in the same situation. And I gave up to add that jar from mavencentral.

I added the raw jar as a lib.

1. Download the latest (or whatever version) of ksoap2-android from this url
2. Call it in the build.gradle, see below

Here is the code:

dependencies {
   compile files('libs/ksoap2-android.jar')
}

I hope it will help.

Answer 3

More simple solution is just download the .jar from http://www.bvbcode.com/code/ed5zc936-1814251-down and add this .jar file to your libs folder.

Finally in your build.gradle:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs') 
}

This worked fine for me.

Answer 4

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/ksoap2-android-releases/' }
}

and inside Dependencies

compile 'com.google.code.ksoap2-android:ksoap2-android:3.6.1'

Answer 5

I know there are already answers using a jar file. I wanted to add one with the latest updated links:

Download ksoap2-android-assembly-3.6.4-jar-with-dependencies.jar and add it to folder libs.

in build.grade:

android {
...
    configurations {
        all {
            exclude group: 'com.squareup.okhttp3', module: 'okhttp'
        }
    }
}
...
dependencies {
...
 implementation fileTree(include: '*.jar', dir: 'libs')
...
}

Answer 6

Here's a more minimal version of the build.gradle suggested by Sam that works for me:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.test"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 21
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        runProguard false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/ksoap2-android-releases' }
    }
}
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.google.code.ksoap2-android:ksoap2-android:3.6.2'
}

Note that this is the app's build.gradle, I have not made any modifications to the project build.gradle.
