Could not find com.android.support:support-v4:19.0.1

[peter-budo]

I tried out simple setup for Robolectric from https://github.com/blundell/tests-app-robolectric-junit that uses 2.2. This did work fine.

However when I switched to 2.3 I run into

Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':robolectric-tests:testCompile'.
  > Could not find com.android.support:support-v4:19.0.1.
   Required by:
  tests-app-robolectric-junit:robolectric-tests:unspecified > org.robolectric:robolectric:2.3

I then run Maven command as provided in README and neither -Dfile="$ANDROID_HOME/extras/android/support/v4/android-support-v4.jar" nor -Dfile="$ANDROID_HOME/extras/android/m2repository/com/android/support/support-v4/19.0.1/support-v4-19.0.1.jar" made any difference.

Did you modify $ANDROID_HOME to match your path when running the command? I was able to successfully install those files, and make it past the "Could not find com.android.support:support-v4:19.0.1 error".

However, I'm now investigating many of my tests are now failing Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: null

[peter-budo]

I do have $ANDROID_HOME setup in my .bash_profile so no real reason to change it. Nevertheless just to be double sure (because I know Maven been feisty time to time with Android path) I entered absolute path to the support jar, but no luck

[rileymacdonald]

Can you post the error, if any?

'm Having the exact same problem :(

[pjakubczyk]

I'm not Maven expert but in gradle I use this:
def props = new Properties()
file("../local.properties").withInputStream {
stream -> props.load(stream)
}

repositories {
maven {
url new File(props['sdk.dir'] + "/extras/android/m2repository/").toURI()
}
}

[LeslieAerts]

Having the same error. Version 2.2 still works.
Fixed it by just manually adding the android com.android.support:support-v4:19.0.1 dependency.

[erd]

Robolectric 2.4 shouldn't require the support library. Please re-open if it still doesn't work for you.
