I am having trouble using Android Studio for a pure Java project, I wondered if someone could help please?

I am trying to follow the following steps in a Heroku Java/Gradle tutorial: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-gradle-on-heroku#push-local-changes

I am trying to use Android Studio to compile and run the example code here: https://github.com/heroku/gradle-getting-started

I am trying to use the steps here for a pure Java project in AS (although doesn't seem very relevant for AS 2.3.3): Android Studio: create Java project with no Android dependencies

The project doesn't seem to get the dependencies right. The code doesn't compile because it doesn't recognise the ratpack folder as a dependency: enter image description here

I wondered if anyone had any advise or suggestions? I am wary of changing the code or project structure as it is Heroku tutorial code so should still work when deployed to Heroku.

Cheers, Riz

If this Main.java file is your Main Activity(launcher activity) then in Android you don't have to use this String[] args main method but you have to extend it by AppCompatActivity

  • I'm trying to use Android Studio as the IDE for a Java project not an Android one. – chdryra Jun 16 '17 at 14:01

    Android studio can be used only for Android projects, for Java projects use IntelliJ IDEA Community edition or netbeans or BlueJ, eclipse for simple Java Projects, personally I like IntelliJ IDEA :-) – Aayushman chaudhory Jun 16 '17 at 14:03
  • From what I understand one can use AS for Java projects as its just IDEA CE underneath, you just need to hack it appropriately by removing certain files and directories. I tried following the steps in the link above but to no avail. – chdryra Jun 16 '17 at 14:26
  • That's true but not efficient and less productive – Aayushman chaudhory Jun 18 '17 at 07:55
