Hi jendrik,
thank you for you reply on your busy time, i see and my doubt on this line below i mention it on project gradle

       compile "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.3.1"
       compile "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.1.1"

what i do now?

Which plugins do you apply using apply plugin: .... Can you share that part of your build script? Make sure you apply the plugins in the beginning before the dependencies block. E.g.:

apply plugin: "com.android.application"
dependencies {
       compile "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.1.1"
              

Hi Jendrik,

Hope you are doing well. I’m applying below plugins and my dependencies are below plugins:

apply plugin: ‘java’
apply plugin: ‘idea’
apply plugin: ‘eclipse’
apply plugin: ‘org.springframework.boot’
apply plugin: ‘io.spring.dependency-management’

repositories {
mavenCentral()

dependencies {
compile ‘org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web’,
‘org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jersey’,
‘org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jdbc’,
‘com.h2database:h2:1.4.+’

compile 'io.swagger:swagger-jersey2-jaxrs:1.5.10'
compile 'javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api',
        'com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-core:2.3.0.1',
        'com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-impl:2.3.0.1',
        'javax.activation:activation:1.1.1'

However, I’m still receiving an error here:

  • Where:
  • Build file ‘/Users/ameymuddeshwar/Downloads/VideoGameDB-master/build.gradle’ line: 24

  • What went wrong:
  • A problem occurred evaluating root project ‘video-game-database’.

    Could not find method compile() for arguments [org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web, org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jersey, org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jdbc, com.h2database:h2:1.4.+] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

    Bold is line 24 in my build.gradle. Can you please help me with this?
