Good day everyone! I am new to android development and I have a confusion. I was trying to work with iBeacons (university project) but i've encountered the following problem. It keeps saying: "Cannot resolve symbol altbeacon".
I have added this line
implementation 'org.altbeacon:android-beacon-library:2+'
in my dependencies according to official instructions https://altbeacon.github.io/android-beacon-library/configure.html
but I didn't understand where I should include this
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
Here is my gradle file
plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
}
android {
compileSdk 32
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.tarsiusv1"
minSdk 21
targetSdk 32
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
}
dependencies {
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.4.0'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.4'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:17.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:18.1.0'
implementation files('libs/gradle-wrapper.jar')
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.13.2'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0'
implementation 'org.altbeacon:android-beacon-library:2+'
}
Full code of that android page.
