How to Declare Git Repository as Dependency in Android Gradle

Could not resolve git repository as dependency in android gradle

Open Android Studio as Administrator then add maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' } to both, build.gradle(project) and settings.gradle(project) and the respective implementation [...] to build.gradle(:app). This worked for me as every other solution proposed failed.

Fork' git repository as dependency in gradle

• Make sure to add maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' } inside allprojects in build.gradle project file as

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = "1.3.72"
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.0"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        // Note: Add this here
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

• Now add the dependency in build.gradle app as

android {...}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    // ....
    implementation 'com.github.KenobySky:webp-io:master'
}

It works!

Alternately, You can use

implementation 'com.github.KenobySky:webp-io:0.06'

There is a typo in your release tag and release tag title, tag has v0.06 value but the title has v0.0.6

You can delete this release tag and create a new one with v0.0.6 or better to use 0.0.6 as a convention.

Examples of using rx java with volley

That's all that repository is. Examples.

It's not a library like Volley or RxJava themselves.

You can clone that library separately from your project, and install it, run some examples, then copy the necessary sections of code to your own app.

If you did have a library that wasn't published to BinTray, then JitPack could allow you compile Github projects using tags or commit references

For reference: https://jitpack.io/#DaleKocian/VolleyAndRxJava

But, as stated, it's not a library

How to use my github repository as dependency in android?

Uploading your files to GitHub will not make your code to be available to be included as a dependency. First, make sure that your project is a library, and follow these steps to upload your library to Bintray's jcenter() repository so that your library can be included as a dependency.

Add GitHub library as dependency to Android Studio project

It will work when you put this line in your project build.gradle, in the dependencies section:

compile 'com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:extra-abc:+'

Also, add:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

So:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.+'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.+'
    compile 'com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:extra-abc:+'
}

Gradle will download the needed resources automatically for you.

Create a gradle dependency to import from git

To achieve it you have some ways:

1. publish your library (artifact) in central maven or jcenter.

2. use a github repo and the jitpack plugin

3. publish the aar in a local maven repo (local o private)

The point 2. is very simple. Just push your codein github and modify the gradle script in the project where you want to use it.

Just add this repo tp your build.gradle

repositories {
        // ...
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }

and the dependency:

dependencies {
        compile 'com.github.User:Repo:Tag'
    }

To publish a library in Central Maven or JCenter, it is very long to explain in an answer. Hovewer you can read these posts:

• Publish on JCenter

• Publish on Central Maven

Android Gradle dependency on a forked GitHub project

A simple solution would be to publish your library with JitPack. You just would need to create a GitHub release and have a build file in your repository.

JitPack is a maven repository that pulls in packages from GitHub repositories. It checks out your code and builds it.
