compile '????'
}
as mentioned I want to use the deprecated library not new Actionbar-Pulltorefresh. tried to google it but couldn't find any help.

Answer 1

I suggest you to use ActionBarPullToRefresh (same author).
However, if you would like to use PullToRefresh, you have to clone the lib locally in a folder, and then add it as local dependency. This lib isn't on Central Maven as aar.
root
app
build.gradle
lib
pull
src
res
build.gradle
settings.gradle
In you app/build.gradle you have to add:
dependencies {
// Library
compile project(':lib:pull')
}
In lib/pull/build.gradle you have to define it as library and specify the right sourceset (it is a gist):
apply plugin: 'android-library'
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "19.0.1"
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
resources.srcDirs = ['src']
aidl.srcDirs = ['aidl']
renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
}
}
}
In settings.gradle:
include ':lib:pull' ,':app'

Easiest way to add ActionBar-PullToRefresh to your project is via Gradle, you just need to add the following dependency to your build.gradle
dependencies {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
compile 'com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:library:+'
}
Rest gradle will do all work for you.

I've succesfully imported the libproject in Android Studio 1.0. The steps are the following
1.- Download and install PullToRefresh from the official GitHub. Unzip it.
2.- Create an empty Android Studio project. Mine is named "PrjLibDeps"
3.- In project's root folder, create a folder named "libs". Inside libs/, copy a "pulltorefresh" folder containing the unzipped file. Structure remains as shown below:
PrjLibdeps
| settings.gradle
| build.gradle
| libs
| pulltorefresh
| src, res, LICENSE, pom.xml...
| app/
| build.gradle
| src
| ...
4.- Create a build.gradle file inside "pulltorefresh" folder. Copy-paste this sample code and set proper values to compileSdkVersion, buildToolsVersion, minSdkVersion, targetSdkVersion (just copy them from app/build.gradle)
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.3'
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 20
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 9
targetSdkVersion 20
}
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
}
}
}
5.- on app/build.gradle
dependencies {
compile project(":PullToRefresh")
}
6.- Now, on project_root/settings.gradle:
include ‘:app', ':PullToRefresh'
project (':PullToRefresh').projectDir = new File('libs/pulltorefresh')
7.- "Sync now"
8.- CMD+F9 (Make project)
Hope it helps!
