How to import library from jitpack.io using gradle?

Question

I tried following these instructions so the related parts of my build.gradle (app) looks like this:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }

compile 'com.github.qiugang:EditTag:v1.2.3'

but Android Studio still displays this error message:

Error:A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:_debugApkCopy'.
   > Could not find com.github.qiugang:EditTag:v1.2.3.

Are you missing a `dependencies { }` section where you put the `compile`? — OneCricketeer, Aug 11 '16 at 20:55

You modified buildscript. The instructions show changing allprojects:

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

buildscript is used for Gradle plugins, and this library apparently is not a Gradle plugin.

Thank you! It worked now, also I followed the following suggestion from Android Studio: `add 'tools:replace="android:label"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:12:5-41:19 to override.` – Alejandro H. Cruz Aug 11 '16 at 23:09
As usual CommonsWare to the rescue! – Uriel Frankel Sep 17 '20 at 13:26
