Install Estimote SDK for Android

Question

I am trying to integrate the Estimote SDK into an Android app. I am following the SDK instructions available at https://github.com/Estimote/Android-SDK. I have added the estimote-sdk-preview.jar file to the libs directory. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

The Error message I receive are:

• cannot resolve symbol 'estimote'
• cannot resolve symbol 'sdk'
• cannot resolve symbol 'service'
• cannot resolve symbol 'BeaconService'

This is how I am trying to Add the Service

<service android:name="com.estimote.sdk.service.BeaconService"
    android:exported="false"/>

Manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="company.com.application1" >
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        //----------THIS IS WHERE THE ERRORS ARE----------
        <service android:name="com.estimote.sdk.service.BeaconService"
        android:exported="false"/>
    </application>

</manifest>

You should go to File -> Project Structure -> Click the green + -> Select 'Import .JAR or .AAR Package' from the 'More modules' list -> Select the JAR file. Then go to your build.gradle file and add the following line to your dependencies block

compile project(':estimote-sdk-preview')
