1,785 PointsHaving problems setting up support libraries and Google Play
According to a document I read we can no longer import support libraries through build.gradle. I do not have the extras folder in the SDK manager.
Here is what I have in the dependencies for build.gradle (Module)
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0' compile 'com.android.support:support-core-utils:23.1.0' complie 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:6.5.87'
Here is what I have for build.gradle(Project) allprojects { repositories { jcenter() maven { url "https://maven.google.com" } } }
This is what I have in the manifest file as per the video.
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"
I get the error Gradle DSL method not found?

4,854 PointsCould you share the document you read? I'm curious because as far as I know, that is not true however the "compile" keyword will be deprecated and should be replaced by "implementation" in your case.
I wonder if you just copied and pasted the code you posted if so just try to replace
complie 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:6.5.87'
to
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:6.5.87'
but I suggest you to update your files as below
build.gradle(Project)
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.51'
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.3.0'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
build.gradle(APP)
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
android {
compileSdkVersion 27
defaultConfig {
applicationId "you app ID"
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 27
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
debug {
applicationIdSuffix ".debug"
debuggable true
}
}
}
dependencies {
implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
//Support
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:15.0.1'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-core-utils:27.1.1'
}
