android.volley does not exist

Question

My first time here, and I'm very new at coding so please be gentle. I'm ready to compile a signed version of the application that has been developed and I've run into a very odd set of errors that differ depending on what exactly I do.

When I clean the project, it generates a "Signed APK". When I look into the folder, there is nothing there. If I debug, build a signed apk, or run the application, I get a variety of errors stemming from the fact that volley cannot be found.

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

UPDATEDAccording to the first answer I deleted the volley file and also >deleted the dependencies as instructed. The app imported volley correctly, but >I am still getting the issue. Note, I have also updated my JAVA_HOME to the >correct location. SAME ERRORS.

Project Layout Build gradle

Answer 1

instead including its folder as project please include it in your app's build.gradle. It is officially available on jcenter here is the include line

compile 'com.android.volley:volley:1.0.0'
