how to include Android gradle dependencies in Eclipse

Question

I have created simple android eclipse project. Then I added build.gradle file.

buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
  }

  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4'
  }
}

task listJars << {
    configurations.compile.each { File file -> println file.path }
}

apply plugin: 'android'

android {
  compileSdkVersion 17
  buildToolsVersion '17'

  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    }


  sourceSets {
    main {
      manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
      java.srcDirs = ['src']
      resources.srcDirs = ['src']
      renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
      res.srcDirs = ['res']
      assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
    }

    instrumentTest.setRoot('tests')
    instrumentTest {
      java.srcDirs = ['tests/src']
      res.srcDirs = ['tests/res']
      assets.srcDirs = ['tests/assets']
      resources.srcDirs = ['tests/src']
    }
  }

  dependencies {
    compile 'org.roboguice:roboguice:2.0' 
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
  }
}

As you can see, I want to use RoboGuice from maven. Gradle downloads it, but does not add to the lib folder for eclipse. So I cannot use it in eclipse when writing code. Do I need to manually copy them over? I added a task to display them:

$ gradle -q listJars

That is correct. Gradle won't put the jars in the lib directory. The assumption is that your lib directory is for manual changing jars. You can probably create a Gradle task to copy them to your lib directory if thats what oyu want to do.

I don't think there is official support for gradle in eclipse, and if you're just starting out a new project, consider using Android Studio (http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html)

The following post includes two Groovy fragments which can be added to build.gradle. Either of them makes gradle dependencies available to Eclipse.
