Could not get unknown property 'ANDROID_SUPPORT_VERSION' for project ':demo' of type org.gradle.api.Project

Question

I am trying to use this library : https://github.com/telly/MrVector in my android studio project. So what I did is to import it as a module in my project and when i tried to sync project this error appeared

Could not get unknown property 'ANDROID_SUPPORT_VERSION' for project ':demo' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

Here is where the problem occurs in the Gradle file:

dependencies {
  compile project(':library')
  compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${project.ANDROID_SUPPORT_VERSION}@aar"
}

Answer 1

Could not get unknown property 'ANDROID_SUPPORT_VERSION' for project ':demo' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

It's because your project didn't have the ANDROID_SUPPORT_VERSION property in your gradle.properties which is not getting imported to your project. you need to add the property.

Here is the MrVector gradle.properties that you probably need to add to your project:
