How to add dropbox-core-sdk java using gradle
I'm trying to use dropbox in my android app.
I realize this is more of a gradle question then a dropbox question. I looked at the gradle docs:
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/userguide.html
and the readme.md:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/blob/master/ReadMe.md
I still can't figure how to point gradle to the implementation files required by dropbox-core-sdk. Using:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.3'
implementation group: 'com.dropbox.core', name: 'dropbox-core-sdk', version: '0-SNAPSHOT', changing: true
//implementation 'com.dropbox.core:dropbox-core-sdk:3.1.3'
//implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}
I get the following error:
Could not find method implementation() for arguments [{group=com.dropbox.core, name=dropbox-core-sdk, version=0-SNAPSHOT, changing=true}] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.
That '0-SNAPSHOT' version of the dependency would be if you're building the SDK from source. That's only really necessary if you need to modify the SDK for some reason.
Otherwise, I recommend just including the pre-built copy of the library as covered here. That's the first line you have commented out in yours. Do you still get an error if you switch to that one?

Thanks Greg, that's a big help, I was looking for the jar, and skimmed over that download link.
It turns out it was Android Studio (I guess) I created a new app selecting Empty Activity and it didn't setup gradle correctly. I created a new one with Bssic Activity and now it works. Now I just have remove all the UI stuff the template created :)
Thanks.
