Setting Up the Licensing Verification Library on Android Studio

Question

im'triyng to implement the Google Licensing Verification in a Android Studio made app. By following this lines: http://developer.android.com/google/play/licensing/setting-up.html seems tath:

As an alternative to adding the LVL as a library project, you can copy the library sources directly into your application. To do so, copy (or import) the LVL's library/src/com directory into your application's src/ directory.

I've done this but the import of:

import com.google.android.vending.licensing.LicenseChecker;
import com.google.android.vending.licensing.LicenseCheckerCallback;

fail.. Searching on google i've been noticed that i need to modify the build.grade file on my project, but i can't find a specific solution.

How can I reference the LVL in my android studio project? There is some tutorial or example?

Thanks Lorenzo

In Android Studio, Tools-Android-SDK Manager
In SDK Manager, in the extras section choose Google Play Licensing Library
Go back to Android Studio, and choose File-New-Import Module
ADK Manager will have put the downloaded files under your SDK directory, in my case Desktop/android-sdk-macosx/extras/google/play_licensing/library
Choose to import this directory as a module, and give it a name. I used 'lvl'
Optionally change targetSdkVersion in the lvl module's build.gradle to match your project targetSdkVersion.
Then in your projects build.gradle, add the line compile project(':lvl') inside the {dependencies{ section.
Re-sync Gradle and everything should compile correctly.

Also, you might want to change `targetSdkVersion` in the library's gradle script, so that it matches whatever version you are targeting for the app. – l33t May 14 '15 at 14:44

@NickFortescue what about the AIDL files? – iflp Sep 12 '15 at 03:17
android dev doc dint say step no. 7. Thanks Nick! – Programmer Jan 22 '16 at 06:25
you can also copy the AIDL files into googlelicenselibrary\src\main\aidl\com\android\vending\licensing – Alex Jul 28 '19 at 20:23

Finally I've got the solution! You have to put the library/src/com directories in the youroject/scr/main/java/com and then click on the "Sync project with Gradle files" button.

That worked for me too. The official Android developer text: "copy (or import) the LVL's library/src/com directory into your application's src/ directory." isn't clear at all! – Chris Johnson Apr 20 '15 at 06:17
I combined this method with the one below, and was finally able to get it to recognize the library. Maybe we should start a kick starter for the Google documentation team, so they can hire a translator. lol Thanks everyone. – snapplex Jun 06 '15 at 22:32

If you are compiling for the 23 API, you have to include ``useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'`` in the android configuration: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0-changes.html#behavior-apache-http-client – redcrow Oct 09 '15 at 13:43

Thanks, incorporated into my answer above. – Nick Fortescue Jun 20 '15 at 13:02
This is not an answer, this should be added as a comment. – DiscDev Jan 05 '16 at 19:02

Copying the LVL sources to your application. As an alternative to adding the LVL as a library project, you can copy the library sources directly into your application. To do so, copy (or import) the LVL's library/src/com directory into your application's src/ directory. Visit:http://developer.android.com/google/play/licensing/setting-up.html
