Dependency Management

The Android Groovy Shell has a dependency manager that allows you to quickly add maven repository dependencies to your classpath.

Load Maven dependencies

You can load dependencies directly from Maven (more details here)

import dex
DexGrape.grab("com.google.code.gson", "gson", "2.8.6")
import com.google.gson.Gson
g = new Gson()

Load local jars

Or from a local jar (more details here)

f = file("groovy/fandem.jar")
// import alias
import dex
// this will add the jar to your class path
Dexter.loadFromFile(f)
// you can then use classes from the jar
import com.tambapps.p2p.fandem.FileSharer
f = new FileSharer()

Load additional jars every time you starts a shell

You can add jars to your classpath permanently by adding them to your additional classpath
