Hi dear,

I’m not able to configure backendless in the Android studio build.gradle as it is giving me errors.

Here is a loom shot of the issue,

Hoping for your guidance as I would love to progress on my learning path.

Thanks
Yaser

Hi Yaser,

Are you following the instructions from the documentation?

The push notification setup doc is here:

Push Notification Setup (Android) - Backendless SDK for Android/Java API Documentation

Step 1 in this section, points to the process of adding the Backendless dependency.

Hope this helps.

Hi dear Mark,

Every time I try to put add this statement into android studio gradle it gives me an error with red line on the first line:

Dependencies {
implementation group: ‘com.backendless’, name: ‘backendless’, version: ‘7.0.9’

could it be that this type of code is no longer supported by the android version im using?

Where did you get that 7.0.9 from?

Please follow the instructions from the documentation I referenced. Specifically here:

Hello, @Yaser_Bukhamseen.

I think you need this implementation:
implementation group: 'com.backendless', name: 'android-client-sdk', version: '7.0.9'

You are using kotlin… In kts files correct raw looks like this:
implementation(“com.backendless:android-client-sdk:7.0.9”)
