Android studio can't find dependencies android-gif-drawable - android-studio

Question

i'm trying to import this android-gif-drawable to my project, but even if i did set the emplementation and settings, i can't import or use it.
Here my build.graddle(:app)
plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'
}
android {
compileSdk 32
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.androidapp"
minSdk 21
targetSdk 32
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
kotlinOptions {
jvmTarget = '1.8'
}
buildFeatures {
viewBinding true
}
}
dependencies {
implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.7.0'
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.4.0'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.4'
implementation 'androidx.navigation:navigation-fragment-ktx:2.3.5'
implementation 'androidx.navigation:navigation-ui-ktx:2.3.5'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.13.2'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0'
implementation 'pl.droidsonroids.gif:android-gif-drawable:1.2.25'
implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.8'
}
And my settings.gradle(AndroidApp)
import org.gradle.api.initialization.resolve.RepositoriesMode
pluginManagement {
repositories {
gradlePluginPortal()
google()
//jcenter()
mavenCentral()
}
}
dependencyResolutionManagement {
repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
repositories {
google()
//jcenter()
mavenCentral()
//maven { url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots" }
// maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
rootProject.name = "AndroidApp"
include ':app'
But everytime i try to import it or use it i got errors:
import pl.droidsonroids.gif.GifImageView; -> Unresolved reference: pl
<pl.droidsonroids.gif.GifImageView -> Cannot resolve class pl.droidsonroids.gif.GifImageView
I tried to set as specified on the coral page with the "buildscript" before the "plugins" and "allproject" after, but of course i have the error:
Build was configured to prefer settings repositories over project repositories but repository 'MavenRepo' was added by build file 'app\build.gradle'
I can't find a way to make it work or at least see if the library is correctly loaded (but since i don't have an error for the dependency as some other posts, i imagine it found it).

Hum...ok so its's working now...
while it wasn't working i restarted android studio, closed the app, clean and rebuilded the project many time, and it was still not working.
I sleeped, restarted to work ( android wasn't closed) and it worked.. I suposed it was stil loading yesterday when i tried? honnestly i dont get it.
hope this will help someone in the same situation
