Hi experts,
I have a library “A”, which depends on another library “B”. “A” is stored in local maven and “B” is on jcenter.
The dependency is like: My App --> A --> B.
In my app, I want to import symbols that defined in B, but the compilation failed in the “compileDebugJavaWithJavac” task, reporting that symbols are not found in “import …” statement.
---- details -----
In build.gradle of my App, I only declare “A” as my “api” dependency and want to invisibly pull in “B”. It seems not working. Is it expected?
In my build.gradle:
dependencies {
api 'Library-A:1.0.1'
// api 'Library-B:2.0.0' // if I uncomment this one, things work.
}
In gradle dependencies, I can see dependency tree like
debugCompileClasspath - Resolved configuration for compilation for variant: debug
+--- Library-A:1.0.1
| \--- Library-B:2.0.0
+--- Library-A:{strictly 1.0.1} -> 1.0.1 (c)
\--- Library-B:{2.0.0} -> 2.0.0 (c)
But in gradle androidDependencies, I cannot see Library-B. I don’t know what’s the difference between “dependencies” and “androidDependencies”.
Could you please give any clues? I already searched on Google and SO for a day and didn’t find useful information.
