Errors after Updating Parse SDK on Android Studio

Hi All,

My code is now showing up with a bunch of errors after deleting the old parse jar file and adding a new one and I am not sure how to fix it. I added the new jar file in the exact same libs folder.

Basically anything that uses the Parse SDK has an error behind it. I tried rebuilding the project and refreshing the libs folder but it did not help.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, Riley

OK I managed to answer this on my own. I am using Android Studio instead of Eclipse for this project and after updating my build.gradle code I was able to get this to work.

The Parse SDK said that I should add the following code:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.1.2'
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: 'Parse-*.jar')
}

After trying to use this code and re-syncing I got some errors as it could not find the com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.1.2 jar file so instead I changed the code to point directly to jar file like this:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: 'bolts-android-1.1.4.jar')
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: 'Parse-*.jar')
}

Now everything seems to be working fine even though I am still not 100% sure if I have done this correctly :)
