Importing roottools.jar into Android Studio

Question

I'm trying to import roottools from here: https://code.google.com/p/roottools/ (jar file) to the Android Studio project. So far I've tried the following:

• copy RootTools-javadoc-3.4.jar into libs directory under my project.
• Add imports
• Reorganize imports.
• Rebuild project

But still I don't have "acces" to it's methods. Is it possible that is only compatible with Eclipse?

Answer 1

I tried using the JAR available for download and it didn't work either. To get this working, I had to download the project available at github here. Compile and run the task "makeJar" (right click on task makeJar in the gradle.build and select run).

I just added this new jar in the libs and referenced in the gradle.build file.

dependencies {
    ...
    compile files('libs/RootTools.jar')
}

or you can add it via Project Properties.

It worked perfectly (don't forget to sync your the gradle files if you edit it manually).
