Error:Failed to resolve: :HERE-sdk: - gradle

Question

I was trying to create a new project which has two flavor, and the sdk is independent of app.
So I modified these build.gradle files like below:
For the android lib module: sdk:
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "26.0.0"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 19
targetSdkVersion 25
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
productFlavors {
en
zh
}
publishNonDefault true
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile(name: 'HERE-sdk', ext: 'aar')
}
repositories {
flatDir {//HERE SDK
dirs 'libs'
}
mavenCentral()
}
For the android app module: app:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "26.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "cn.hudplay.testgradle"
minSdkVersion 19
targetSdkVersion 25
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
productFlavors {
en
zh
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
enCompile project(path:":sdk",configuration:"enRelease")
zhCompile project(path:":sdk",configuration:"zhRelease")
//compile(name: 'HERE-sdk', ext: 'aar')//this seems to be workaround if un-blocked
}
repositories {
flatDir {//HERE SDK
dirs 'libs'
}
mavenCentral()
}
Then it told me Failed to resolve ::HERE-sdk:, and no other reasons..
I tried to move Here-sdk related gradle code to app's build.gradle, no more wrong.But I do need it in the sdk module..
What should I do..Anyone could help me?
Workaround used temporarily :
compile HERE-sdk for both app and sdk, no more wrong again. But I still feel something not right there...

Answer 1

Hi HERE updated the documentation maybe that help you with the issue. I had the same problem too and it worked out following these steps here:
https://github.com/heremaps/here-android-sdk-examples

Answer 2

What worked for me using the code above as an example (and if someone looks for a solution that works) was this approach:
copy the "\HERE-sdk\libsHERE-sdk.aar" file (dowloaded from your account on Here) to your \App\libs folder, then:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar','*.aar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
//compile(name: 'HERE-sdk', ext: 'aar')
}
NOTE: what changes was only 2 lines:
COMMENTED -> //compile(name: 'HERE-sdk', ext: 'aar') and ADDED -> '.aar' extension to array scope here -> compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['.jar','*.aar']).
OBS: I know thi's an old question and maybe someone out there in this outside world must have already answered it, but I leave here my humble contribution. If someone wants to employ me, I'm looking for a job hehehe

Answer 3

I got the aar compile without error by adding by adding it from
Open Module Settings
Step 1 , add the aar into app/libs folder
Step 2, Right Click App and negative to Open Module Settings
Step 3, Click on dependencies on the left and then click on the + under Declared Dependencies
Step 4, Select the libs/HERE-sdk.aar from the drop down and then click OK
