[android] How do I import material design library to Android Studio?

I want to import this library to my project in Android Studio v1.0.0 rc2:

https://github.com/navasmdc/MaterialDesignLibrary

But there is a problem. When I add this library as a module, this error appears:

Error:Dependency MyApplication.libraries:MaterialDesign:unspecified on project app resolves to an APK archive which is not supported as a compilation dependency. File: C:\ADTBundle\StudioWorkspace\MyApplication\libraries\MaterialDesign\build\outputs\apk\MaterialDesign-release-unsigned.apk

What would be a step-by-step guide to solve this problem? Or what would be a gradle dependency for this library?

Goto

1. File (Top Left Corner)
2. Project Structure
3. Under Module. Find the Dependence tab
4. press plus button (+) at top right.
5. You will find all the dependencies

First, add the Material Design dependency.

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:<version>'

To get the latest material design library version. check the official website github repository.

Current version is 1.2.0.

So, you have to add,

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0'

Then, you need to change the app theme to material theme by adding,

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>

in your style.xml. Dont forget to set the same theme in your application theme in your manifest file.

build.gradle

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0-alpha02'

styles.xml

 <!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>

The latest as of release of API 23 is

compile 'com.android.support:design:23.2.1'

There is a new official design library, just add this to your build.gradle: for details visit android developers page

compile 'com.android.support:design:27.0.0'

If you migrated to AndroidX you should add the dependency in graddle like this:

com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0-rc01

If u are using Android X: https://material.io/develop/android/docs/getting-started/ follow the instruction here

when the latest library is

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.1'

Update : Get latest material design library from here https://maven.google.com/web/index.html?q=com.google.android.material#com.google.android.material:material

For older SDK

Add the design support library version as same as of your appcompat-v7 library

You can get the latest library from android developer documentation https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library/packages#design

implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'
