[whispersystems] Build TextSecure Failure:

[Arno SC]

Hi,

It is my first time working with Textsecure, I cloned the repo and tried to build the project using Android Studio, but it failed with the following error:

Error:Could not find com.afollestad:material-dialogs:0.7.3.1.
Required by:
    :TextSecure:unspecified

I tried to look around for solutions but could not find any.  I noticed however that the afollestad:materual-dialogs library is now at version 0.8.1.0 and uses a new repo starting from version 0.8. How does Textcure handle the 0.7.3.1 library and do you have any idea how I can fix my problem with the build.

I`m a beginner in contributing to Textsecure and to open source projects in general so let me know if this the question is clear enough and appropriate in the current context.
Thanks,

Arnaud

Yes, the author of that library seems to have removed older versions.

Version 0.7.9.1 is still around and has the same interface. The
SMSSecure guys use that version now, and it works fine. See
https://github.com/SMSSecure/SMSSecure/commit/30032918a94e7def54fa46c574a94830a2747a1e
for the changes in build.gradle that are required. They can be appliedto
TextSecure too.
