Adding dependencies like support-v4 and appcompat-v7

Question

I'm trying to add various dependencies to an android maven project, in particular, these from a build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast:7.8.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:22.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:mediarouter-v7:22.0.0'

    compile (name:'CastCompanionLibrary-debug', ext:'aar')
    compile 'com.github.amlcurran.showcaseview:library:5.0.0'
    compile 'com.chrisanderson.mediabrowsercompat:library:0.0.2'

}

I've been trying to follow the instructions here, which tells you to set a local repository with:

<repository>
  <id>android-support</id>
  <name>android-support</name>
  <url>file://${env.ANDROID_HOME}/extras/android/m2repository</url>
</repository>

But I'm getting the error:

ArtifactTransferException: Failure to transfer com.android.support:support-v4:jar:23.0.1 from file://${env.ANDROID_HOME}/extras/android/m2repository was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of android-support has elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: Could not transfer artifact com.android.support:support-v4:jar:23.0.1 from/to android-support (file://${env.ANDROID_HOME}/extras/android/m2repository): Repository path /extras/android/m2repository does not exist, and cannot be created.

Here's my full pom:

As per the error logs the ${env.ANDROID_HOME} is not resolving, can you try to hardcode the path and see if the errors goes way.

I suggest to use the Maven Android SDK Deployer instead. It will copy the files into your local Maven repo or deploy them to a repository manager. Then you can just declare them as normal dependencies without further config headaches in settings or the pom
