i am using Android studio and just trying to add a library to my project “Paralloid” and when i press sync project with gradle i get this error

Gradle ‘crickistan’ project refresh failed:

Build script error, unsupported Gradle DSL method found: ‘mavenDeployer()’!

Possible causes could be:

  • you are using Gradle version where the method is absent

  • you didn’t apply Gradle plugin which provides the method

    • or there is a mistake in a build script

    Build file ‘/Users/wasif/crickistan/libraries/paralloid/build.gradle’ line: 31

    : Gradle settings

We’d have to see the build script, especially around line 31.

buildscript {

repositories {

mavenCentral()

}

dependencies {

classpath ‘com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.+’

} } apply plugin: ‘android-library’

defaultConfig {

uploadArchives {

I think you’ll have to add ‘apply plugin: “maven”’ at the top of the build script.

PS: Please use HTML code tags when pasting code.

fixed but another problem now :S

Gradle 'crickistan' project refresh failed:
            No such property: sonatypeRepo for class: org.gradle.api.publication.maven.internal.ant.DefaultGroovyMavenDeployer
            Build file '/Users/wasif/crickistan/libraries/paralloid/build.gradle' line: 36
            : Gradle settings

any help??

Got the same error trying to import the same library! What’s wrong with it?

Best inspect that build or ask its author. Perhaps the build expects a ‘sonatypeRepo’ entry in ‘gradle.properties’, but I’m just guessing.

You just have to delete the whole uploadArchives() block
