LinkedIn Android SDK set up

Question

I have started integrating LinkedIn log in to my app by following the Getting Started guide provided by developer.linkedin.com

I have downloaded the mobile SDK for Android and imported the linkedin-sdk in my project.

Added the following line to my dependencies in build.gradle:

compile project(':linkedin-sdk')

Added the following line in my settings.gradle:

include ':linkedin-sdk'

When I sync the project I get the following error:

Error:(8, 0) Plugin with id 'robolectric' not found.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Have you tried syncing with the robolectric manually in gradle? testCompile "org.robolectric:robolectric:3.0" — Prokash Sarkar, Jul 27 '15 at 03:52
@ProkashSarkar the linkedin-sdk has this in the gradle already: androidTestCompile('org.robolectric:robolectric:2.4') ... I tried 3.0 but still same error as before — mikebertiean, Jul 27 '15 at 03:56
Interesting, the plugin was deprecated. I would ask linkedin team to fix library and even better to distribute library through binary dependency instead of sources — Eugen Martynov, Jul 27 '15 at 06:52

As quick solution please remove next lines from linked-sdk build.gradle files:

buildscript {
   ...
   dependencies {
     classpath 'org.robolectric:robolectric-gradle-plugin:0.14.+'
   }
}

apply plugin: 'robolectric'

And these as well just to be 100% sure:

androidTestCompile('junit:junit:4.12')
androidTestCompile('org.robolectric:robolectric:2.4')

I hope you're also aware that you include volley into your app. So you might experience duplicate class error while dexing

This worked but it's not very elegant. Thanks a lot for the input, however! Like you said, I already had volley in my project so what I did was I removed the volley.jar from the linkedin-sdk and changed the linkedin-sdk gradle to compile files(':libs/volley.jar') – mikebertiean Jul 28 '15 at 18:38
Ask Linkedin guys to fix it :) – Eugen Martynov Jul 29 '15 at 05:49
