ParseObject won't import

Question

Hello,

I was following Ben's tutorial on Android Tools here: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/android-tools/getting-started-with-android-studio/adding-parse-as-a-thirdparty-library but encountered a problem when trying to add Parse as a third-party library.

So, here is my build.gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 'android-L'
    buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.harryjamesuk.workshopapp"
        minSdkVersion 9
        targetSdkVersion 'L'
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.+'
    compile fileTree('src/main/libs')
}

And here is the error message I get: http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h348/harryjamesuk/ParseObject_zps24b4d6d8.jpg

It seems to be that my jar file from parse isn't creating any libraries. Am I doing something wrong? I copied my Parse-1.5.1.jar file from my downloads folder (Windows) and pasted it into the lib folder. I have ran the Invalidate Cache tool however, still no luck.

Any help would be appreciated!

Ok,

I managed to find a solution eventually. In my build.gradle, instead of compile fileTree, I used the code underneath. I seemed to be getting an error with fileTree in that the gradle didn't know which method to use.

    compile files('src/libs/Parse-1.5.1.jar')
