Unable to update gradle dependency for a library

Question

This is what i originally had in my build.gradle file.

    dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
    compile 'de.hdodenhof:circleimageview:2.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.6.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.amulyakhare:com.amulyakhare.textdrawable:1.0.1'
    compile 'com.github.clans:fab:1.6.1'
    compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.8.2'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.afollestad:material-dialogs:0.7.9.1'
    compile 'com.wdullaer:materialdatetimepicker:1.5.3'
    compile 'com.android.support:palette-v7:23.0.1'
}

The library Material Dialog has been updated so i am trying to reflect the same in my gradle file.The library says i should add it like this.

    dependencies {
    compile('com.afollestad.material-dialogs:core:0.8.1.0@aar') {
        transitive = true
    }
}

So i tried this but it refuses to rebuild the project when i try this,with an error saying "failed to resolve:com.afollestad.material-dialogs:core:0.8.1.0"

    dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
    compile 'de.hdodenhof:circleimageview:2.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.6.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.amulyakhare:com.amulyakhare.textdrawable:1.0.1'
    compile 'com.github.clans:fab:1.6.1'
    compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.8.2'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.wdullaer:materialdatetimepicker:1.5.3'
    compile 'com.android.support:palette-v7:23.0.1'
    compile('com.afollestad.material-dialogs:core:0.8.1.0@aar') {
        transitive = true
    }
}

Could someone tell me what i am doing wrong here.

I had the same kind of problem for another library, since the project is on github you can try to import it by downloading it as a zip file — Virthuss, Oct 02 '15 at 04:25

It should be like this

App build.gradle

dependencies {
    compile('com.afollestad.material-dialogs:core:0.8.1.0@aar') {
        transitive = true
    }
}

Project build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.3'

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

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

So do i need to add this as well as the dependency file in the other place or can i choose either of them? – Jude Fernandes Oct 02 '15 at 04:34
you need to add this, because the library is on that repository – NaviRamyle Oct 02 '15 at 04:35
There is a build.gradle on the root of your project, put that there – NaviRamyle Oct 02 '15 at 04:37
So i removed the compile thing from the other file and added this line and now android studio cannot recognize any of the code belonging to the library and is giving me tons of errors. – Jude Fernandes Oct 02 '15 at 04:38
you need **both** of them, don't remove the compile thing – NaviRamyle Oct 02 '15 at 04:39
Tried that too,same error as the first time,it cannot resolve the library. – Jude Fernandes Oct 02 '15 at 04:41
Can you please include your project build.gradle in your question – NaviRamyle Oct 02 '15 at 04:42
worked now,it was a mistake on my part,i was adding the maven line under the wrong brackets. – Jude Fernandes Oct 02 '15 at 04:46

I had the same problem while building [Material-Dialogs][1].

In my case I had to have the same level of Build Tools version as that of the compileSdkVersion. For more info, visit Android ProgressDialog position issue and do we have Android's ProgressDialog from platform or support library? answer.

I had (mismatching compile SDK and build tool versions):

 android {    
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion '22.0.1'
    ...[your configuration]
}

which I changed to

android {    
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
    ...[your configuration]
}
