Getting Gradle dependencies in IntelliJ IDEA using Gradle build

Question

Grade build  even from inside IntelliJ IDEA does not put the dependencies into the  External Libraries  folder  so these classes don t show up as suggestions in the editor and when I manually add them as an import there is a compile error   How can I get IntelliJ to automatically incorporate the dependencies in my build gradle file  for instance    compile  com google code gson gson 1 7 2

You either need to import the project as a Gradle project from within Idea. When you add a dependency you need to open the Gradle window and perform a refresh.

Alternatively generate the project files from gradle with this:

build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'idea'

And then run:

$ gradle idea

If you modify the dependencies you will need to rerun the above again.

Andrey s above post is still valid for the latest version of Intellij as of 3rd Quarter of 2017  So use it   Cause  build project  and external command line gradle build  does NOT add it to the external dependencies in Intellij   crazy as that sounds it is true  Only difference now is that the UI looks different to the above  but still the same icon for updating is used  I am only putting an answer here  cause I cannot paste a snapshot of the new UI   I dont want any up votes per se  Andrey still gave the correct answer above

Tried everything in this thread and nothing worked for me in IntelliJ 2020 2  This answer did the trick  but I had to set the correct path to the JDK and choose it in Gradle settings after that  as showed in figures bellow    Setting the correct path for the Java SDK  under File- gt Project Structure      In Gradle Window  click in  quot Gradle Settings    quot     Select the correct SDK from  1  here    After that  the option  quot Reload All Gradle Projects quot  downloaded all dependencies as expected  Cheers

After adding dependencies open  Gradle    View - Tool Windows- Gradle  tab and hit  refresh   example of adding  compile  io reactivex rxjava 1 1 0       If Idea still can not resolve dependency  hence it is possibly the dependency is not in mavenCentral   repository and you need add repository where this dependency located into repositories
