Is there an easier way to add gson to my project?

Question

How do I add gson to my project with gradle? I only see people adding files to their projects. I don\'t want to download the project and put it in mine.

Answer 1

In app/build.gradle:

 dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.2'
}

Answer 2

Add following to project’s build.gradle

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.0'
}

Here is the link for more info.

Answer 3

If you are using Android Studio you can use the following workflow instead of manually changing Gradle files:

1. File -> Project Structure -> Modules -> app -> Dependencies Tab
2. Click '+' in the bottom left corner and select "Library dependency"
3. In the search field type: "gson" and click Search
4. Select "com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.5"

Answer 4

compile is obsolete use implementation instead

dependencies {

    implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.5'

}
