I cannot declare import for gradle dependency of my just published library

Question

UPDATE2: I was not generating a aar file, now it's included in the package that you can check here: https://github.com/fabrizioiacobucci/range-bar-preference/packages/787218 I see javadoc, sources and aar are there, but when I add the package as dependency in another project I don't even see it in the External Libraries.

UPDATE: This is the problem, I don't see my source files in the downloaded jar:

I recently forked a little project on Github and migrated its old code version to AndroidX and new gradle build. After some time everything work fine and I was able also to publish the library on Git packages. However, I tried to declare it as dependency on a different project on my local computer. It downloads fine but when I try to import it in a source file, I cannot find the package:

If I go into the project folder I see the library downloaded and related files.

This is the Project build.gradle file of the published library.

I don't know if there is anything else relevant to share, please let me know in case. Do you have any idea what am I missing?

Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

let me try to fork the original and try to release it on jitpack and test whether it works or not, then I can share the steps with you — Dinkar Kumar, May 15 '21 at 14:18
As promised I shared one POC I done and released on jitpack.io, please try that and let me know. — Dinkar Kumar, May 15 '21 at 15:22

As promised I forked the original project upgraded to android and then all the dependencies to the latest.

For the fast release of SDK to do the POC, I released it to jitpack.io

How to add the new library as a dependency.

Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

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

}

Add this to your app module dependencies:

 dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.dk19121991:range-bar-preference:0.0.7'
 }

I did try it myself and it's working fine for me, I updated the app module in my forked version to use the library from jitpack only, and it's working smoothly.

Please try the library and let me know if you feel anything else you need.

Hello dinkar! Thanks for this input. Yesteday I figured it out and I was able to let it work also from Github. However, the bounty is up so the points are yours :) How is jitpack btw compared to other repositories? Thanks! – Fabrizio May 15 '21 at 19:21

Thanks a lot, @Fabrizio, earlier I was using jcentre(bintray) for one of my projects but as that deprecated, I tried jitpack, it's super easy, really super easy to use. I even have created a doc on that which you can read if you want https://www.talentica.com/blogs/publish-your-android-library-on-jitpack-for-better-reachability/ – Dinkar Kumar May 16 '21 at 04:53
Thanks for the link! I will try this out. Actually I'm using Github pkgs and Sonatype Maven. – Fabrizio May 16 '21 at 10:33

Hello Milan, thanks for your answer. That's the old package which I forked on Github. Since it is not updated for years, I started developing my own one based on it so I cannot put nfx in there – Fabrizio May 11 '21 at 12:55
try to import your package locally in the project and find a proper error. if it will not return any error then the naming of the package is the resone. – Milan Chauhan May 11 '21 at 13:01
I tried it and Android Studio says it cannot understand which kind of files are contained in the jar. So I selected "Classes" but nothing changed, I cannot import it. – Fabrizio May 11 '21 at 14:18
FYI the package link: https://github.com/fabrizioiacobucci/range-bar-preference/packages/783553 I see a lot of files created from the publishing. I downloaded the one called "range-bar-preference-1.0.0.jar" for the test – Fabrizio May 11 '21 at 14:19
