Impossible to include with Android Studio

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When I try to add this library to Android Studio I follow the following method:

1. Download zip of androidsvg lib
2. Unzip
3. (From Android Studio) File -> Import Project...
4. Select the proper input folder
5. Select the proper output folder
6. Leave all settings checked as default

When the importation ends, the androidsvg package still does not appear in the 
interface and no errors are reported.

Thanks for the report.  I will investigate what is involved in getting 
AndroidSVG to compile with Android Studio.

Thankyou :)
I'm able to add androidsvg in gradle (compile 'com.caverock:androidsvg:1.2.1'), 
but this does not allow me to insert SVGImageView objects in layouts :(

Same problem. The artifact must be deployed as an aar on Maven central or we 
can't access R.java and nothing can be referenced from the xml resources.

Is there an update on this issue?

You have to use the ImageView version, not the custom ImageView referencing R 
which is not accessible from jar file as mentioned above

Just FYI

I have built an aar version of the latest beta release.  There are still some 
issues around it though, so I haven't officially announced it.

It can be fetched from the maven central repo if you are keen to try it out.

You don't want to introduce a gradle build script?

This is not actually an issue. In your build.gradle, on the same level as:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

add:

repositories{
    mavenCentral()
}

And in your dependencies include:

compile group: 'com.caverock', name: 'androidsvg', version: '1.2.1'

Does anyone have a working example of this in android studio?  I've tried 
adding the jar to libs as well as the compile group option above.

With both of those, I'ved tried using a custom view, which we all know doesn't 
work.  I tried using a view as <com.caverock.androidsvg.SVGImageView> as well, 
and everything gives me the R.styleable exception.

I have this working perfectly though I'm not using the lib as intended.
The way I have it set up is through a library sub-project and then simply add 
androidSVG to the directory structure.

My usage then differs though: I replace all standard images with .svg files and 
use a custom LayoutInflater subclass to properly load them into the app. 

I can't say much about SVGImageView though other that it isn't in the design 
widgets view.

It seems like these problems will all be solved thanks to Android 5.0 (API v21)

I was able to get it working in Android Studio. After some trial and error, I 
found the source of the NoClassDefFoundError R.styleable. For some reason, AS 
doesn't like the format of 'reference|string' for the 'svg' attribute. I ran my 
app after changing the format of 'svg' to simply 'string', and no longer 
received a NoClassDefFoundError, and the SVG displayed as expected. 
Interestingly, I changed the format back to 'reference|string', and the project 
continues to run fine. Seems like an IDE issue, as SVGImageView doesn't appear 
to even be using use the fully qualified R.java.

Here's what I'm using:
Android Studio 0.8.13
Android SDK build tools 21.0.2
Emulator running Android 4.2.2 x86

Was that comment intended for issue 33?

It was intended for post #11 and anyone else who may have a problem using the 
library in Android Studio. But, yea it is the solution I found for my post in 
issue 33. Sorry for any confusion. I'll link this thread now.

Is this issue already really solved? I found out how to make it work, in few 
easy and painless steps.

Same problem here. 
I'm using gradle to import the lib.
