GreenDao: queryBuilder not a method on an entity dao

Question

I've been attempting to get acquainted with the GreenDao Android ORM library. I've been following along with Green Robot's examples but have gotten stuck. Whenever I get an instance of one of my daos, UserDao, I don't have any sort of queryBuilder() method associated with the dao object.

import package.DaoMaster;
import package.DaoMaster.DevOpenHelper;
import package.DaoSession;
import package.UserDao;

public class DatabaseHelper {

    private SQLiteDatabase db;
    private DaoMaster daoMaster;
    private DaoSession daoSession;

    public DatabaseHelper(Context context) {
        DevOpenHelper helper = new DaoMaster.DevOpenHelper(context, "db", null);

        this.db = helper.getWritableDatabase();
        this.daoMaster = new DaoMaster(db);
        this.daoSession = this.daoMaster.newSession();

        // attempting to retrieve the queryBuilder instance from a user dao....
        // however, no queryBuilder method exists
        this.daoSession.getUserDao().queryBuilder();
    }
}

What am I missing guys? I'm using the greendao-generator artifact, versioned at 1.3.1.

Finally figured this out. First, I'm using Android Studio 0.8.9, which is using Gradle 2.1.

In the build.gradle file in the project's app folder, I added compile( 'de.greenrobot:greendao:1.3.7') to its dependencies section. It looks something like this:

dependencies {
    // ...
    compile 'de.greenrobot:greendao:1.3.7'
    // ...
}

From then on, the queryBuilder method was available for all my daos.
