GDK for Android Studio 3.0.1?

Question

I'm an Android newbie tasked with creating a simple app for Google Glass XE23. I have downloaded & installed Android Studio 3.0.1, but find nothing in it related to Glass. ALL search results are old and refer to much older versions of AS. That includes anything I find at Google's Glass developer's site. The AS Messages window contains:

Gradle 'gdk-apidemo-sample' project refresh failed

Error:failed to find target Google Inc.:Glass Development Kit Preview:19 : C:\Users\Allan\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk

How/where do I get the GDK package?

Answer 1

In the Android Sdk Manager make sure to check Show Package Details. Then you see all package options and can install the GDK easily.

Android SDK Manager can be found at Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK.

Answer 2

Something that worked for me was going to the apps build.gradle file and changing the compileSdkVersion to "Google Inc.:Glass Development Kit Preview:19". Android Studio should throw an error and prompt you to install the module using component installer.

Here's what that looks like:

compileSdkVersion "Google Inc.:Glass Development Kit Preview:19"

You should get a prompt after trying to sync the gradle files again.
