Answer 1

After trying the answer by Gabriele and a bit more digging, this worked for me

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots" }
    maven { url 'http://guardian.github.com/maven/repo-releases' }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'net.rdrei.android.dirchooser:library:2.2-SNAPSHOT@aar'
}

Answer 2

The answer provided by @unify @GabrieleMariotti and @AndyJoiner is correct. However it confused be since we have two gradle files - a project level gradle and a inner gradle (where you write your dependencies). The solution is to add the code suggested by @AndyJoiner inside your inner gradle.

Since I was confused as to where to add the code, which took me an hour to figure out, I don't want it to happen to others. So, I am posting my both gradle files.

Project Level Gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

Inner Gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.itcse.materialdesignsearchviewlikegoogleplay"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
// Add the code for repositories here
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots" }
        maven { url 'http://guardian.github.com/maven/repo-releases' }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
// Add the dependencies here
    compile 'com.quinny898.library.persistentsearch:library:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT@aar'

}

Hope this help others in future.

This worked for me:

repositories {
   maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots' } 

You can find the repository here https://oss.sonatype.org/#nexus-search;quick~dirchooser

Answer 4

This library is not on Central Maven as aar.

Check here:

http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cnet.rdrei.android.dirchooser it is an apklib format.

I've checked the snapshots repo, and here you can find this library.

https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/net/rdrei/android/dirchooser/library/

To use the snap repo you have to change your script:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
        url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"
    }
}

Then add you depencency, for example

compile 'net.rdrei.android.dirchooser:library:2.1-SNAPSHOT'
