mopub android studio millennialmedia unresolved

Question

I am trying to add MoPub adds, I use Android Studio. I tried to apply the instructions here:

https://github.com/mopub/mopub-android-sdk/wiki/Getting-Started

I couldn't apply them after title "Adding as Compiled .aar" I guess.

All seems to be fine in the project but I am getting unused import and symbol cannot be resolved errors all over in the files "MillennialInterstitial" "MillennialBanner" in folder mop-sdk/java/mobileads/util

I tried to import the jar of millennial media manually, I signed up and downloaded the resources from here:

http://docs.millennialmedia.com/android-SDK/

Many thanks in advance

I guess I couldn't succeed that either. Here is a copy of my errors, if it could be of any help.

Answer 1

I figured out the problem:

I was using the "Full SDK" of the MoPub which I did not actually need. When I used "Base SDK" instead in this link again:

https://github.com/mopub/mopub-android-sdk/wiki/Getting-Started

things worked out perfectly carrying out the steps in this post

Android Studio won't let me import SDK

I hope I can save another person a weekend :)

Answer 2

I just found a better solution: As the imports are not recognized, that means the class does not access to the lib of the project. So I added

compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

in the dependencies session of the build.gradle of the mopub-sdk.

Below I show the whole gradle for information

    // This buildscript will assemble the MoPub SDK into an AAR.

repositories {
    jcenter()
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

group = 'com.mopub'

description = '''MoPub SDK'''

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion '22.0.1'

    defaultConfig {
        versionCode 24
        versionName "3.7.0"
        minSdkVersion 9
        targetSdkVersion 22
        consumerProguardFiles 'proguard.txt'
    }

    sourceSets {
        main {
            manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
            java.srcDirs = ['src/main/java']
            resources.srcDirs = ['src/main/java']
            aidl.srcDirs = ['src/main']
            renderscript.srcDirs = ['src/main']
            res.srcDirs = ['res']
            assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
        }
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), file('proguard.txt')
        }
    }

    // Note: You will also need a local.properties file to set the location of the SDK in the same 
    // way that the existing SDK requires, using the sdk.dir property.
    // Alternatively, you can set an environment variable called ANDROID_HOME. There is no 
    // difference between the two methods, you can use the one you prefer.
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:22.0.0'
    compile 'com.mopub.volley:mopub-volley:1.1.0'
}
