How to add local .jar file dependency to build.gradle file?

Question

So I have tried to add my local .jar file dependency to my build.gradle file:

apply plugin: \'java\'

sourceSets {
    main {
        java {
            srcD         


        

Answer 1

If you really need to take that .jar from a local directory,

Add next to your module gradle (Not the app gradle file):

repositories {
   flatDir {
       dirs 'libs'
   }
}


dependencies {
   implementation name: 'gson-2.2.4'
}

However, being a standard .jar in an actual maven repository, why don't you try this?

repositories {
   mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
   implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.4'
}
