Make sure your gradle dependencies section looks like the code below.

  • Right click on the "app" folder with Project selected, select new directory and name it libs (might already exist).
  • Drag and drop the Parse-1.9.0.jar file into the libs folder.
  • Select File->Invalidate Caches and Restart and select Invalidate Caches and Restart.

Wait a few minutes and Android Studio should restart and everything will be in sync.

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.0.0'
    compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.+'

i didn't add that bolts jar file from parse because it was continuously showing some error. Can you tell me what functionalists are present in bolts file from parse.

Vipul Garg - That dependency will contain all the classes you will need to access and store data to your Parse account. You will need it to continue the Ribbit project.
