android studio cannot resolve import org.json.JSONObject

Question

Answer 1

If you are using LibGdx, it does not come with a Gradle setup, making multi-project builds streamlined.

You need to add implementation 'org.json:json:' to the dependencies block of your top-level build.gradle.

To find the latest version, see http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.json/json/

For example, using the latest version at the time of writing:

dependencies {
   implementation 'org.json:json:20200518'
}
