Dependencies to use appcompat ActionBar...

[Roberto Simoni]

Hi, I'm trying to use appcompat ActionBar and to do that I have added follow dependencies:

   [...]

        <android.platform.version.semantic>4.4.2_r4</android.platform.version.semantic>

        <android.support.version>21.0.3</android.support.version>

   [...]

        <dependency>

            <groupId>com.android.support</groupId>

            <artifactId>appcompat-v7</artifactId>

            <version>${android.support.version}</version>

            <type>aar</type>

        </dependency>

        <dependency>

            <groupId>android.support</groupId>

            <artifactId>compatibility-v7-appcompat</artifactId>

            <version>${android.support.version}</version>

            <type>apklib</type>

        </dependency>

        <dependency>

            <groupId>android.support</groupId>

            <artifactId>compatibility-v7-appcompat</artifactId>

            <version>${android.support.version}</version>

            <type>jar</type>

            <scope>provided</scope>

        </dependency>

        <dependency>

            <groupId>android</groupId>

            <artifactId>android</artifactId>

            <version>${android.platform.version.semantic}</version>

            <scope>provided</scope>

        </dependency>

    [...]

when I try to compile I receive this error:

[INFO] Extracting apklib compatibility-v7-appcompat...

Would you mind helping me on how to setup correctly these dependencies in order to use appcompat support ActionBar?

Thanks Bye

You seem to be using a mix of aar and apklib/jar dependencies. The
former replaces the latter.

From memory there is also a bug in the appcompat-v7 pom that places a
dependency on the jar version of support-v4 rather than aar. To work
around that you have to exclude that from the v7 aar dependency and add
it explicitly.

Relevant changes are listed below.

<exclusions>

<groupId>com.android.support</groupId>
<artifactId>support-v4</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>

<dependency>
<groupId>com.android.support</groupId>
<artifactId>support-v4</artifactId>
<scope>compile</scope>
<type>aar</type>
</dependency>


Then remove the following 2 dependencies on compatibility-v7-appcompat.

Hope that helps.
