Module depends on one or more Android Libraries but is a jar

[kanetik]

When I add timber-loggly as a dependency in my Gradle file, I get 2 warnings:

Warning:Module 'com.github.tony19:timber-loggly:1.0.1' depends on one or more Android Libraries but is a jar
Warning:Module 'com.github.tony19:loggly-client:1.0.3' depends on one or more Android Libraries but is a jar

The modules don't download, and so I am unable to use this library at all.

I'm using Android Studio 2.0 Preview 4, and the related dependencies I'm referencing are:

compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1'
compile 'com.jakewharton.timber:timber:4.1.0'
compile 'com.github.tony19:timber-loggly:1.0.1'
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:1.9.0'

A quick Googling leads me to believe v4:23.1.1 of the support library is the problem, but I can't downgrade to an older version.

Same issue here... did you find any solution by the time ?

Maybe a workaround is to implement this lib : https://github.com/inrista/loggliest

I believe this is caused by loggly-client's dependency on com.jakewharton.timber:timber, which turns out to be unnecessary for that library. The current workaround is to exclude it in your app's build.gradle as follows:

dependencies {
    compile ('com.github.tony19:timber-loggly:1.0.1') {
        exclude group:'com.jakewharton.timber', module:'timber'
    }
}

You're right, no more error with this fix ! Thanks a lot !
However please note :

With this method, we consider importing Timber on a separate import statement.
But there is a side-effect : Timber.plant(new LogglyTree(LOGGLY_TOKEN)); does not work anymore...

The fix : removing the exclude method as mentionned in tony19's answer, and removing the Timber separate import (as it will be imported with timber-loggly)... Then now it works... but you will lose all the Timber subclasses you may have done before...

I am also still seeing the above issue where I can no longer use LogglyTree when I exclude the timber module. Any chance of this library being updated to support newer Timber versions?
