Import Android volley to Android Studio

Updating Warpzit's answer for Android Studio 1.3.2 (differences in bold)
(update: appears to be the same for Android 2.0)

  1. First get latest volley with git.
  2. In your current project (android studio) click [file] --> [New]--> [New Module].
  3. Now select [Import Gradle Project], Click Next
  4. Now select the directory where you downloaded Volley to.
  5. Now Android studio might guide you to do the rest but continue guide to verify that everything works correct
  6. Open settings.gradle (find in root) and add (or verify this is included):

    include ':app', ':volley'

  7. Now go to your build.gradle in your project and add the dependency:

    compile project(":volley")


So Volley has been updated to Android studio build style which makes it harder create a jar. But the recommended way for eclipse was using it as a library project and this goes for android studio as well, but when working in android studio we call this a module. So here is a guide to how do it the way Google wants us to do it. Guide is based on this nice tutorial.

  1. First get latest volley with git (git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/volley).

  2. In your current project (android studio) click [File] --> [New] -->[Import Module].

  3. Now select the directory where you downloaded Volley to.

  4. Now Android studio might guide you to do the rest but continue guide to verify that everything works correct

  5. Open settings.gradle (find in root) and add (or verify this is included):

    include ':app', ':volley'

  6. Now go to your build.gradle in your project and add the dependency:

    compile project(":volley")

Thats all there is to it, much simpler and easier than compiling a jar and safer than relying on third parties jars or maven uploads.


Volley is now officially available on JCenter:

Add this line to your gradle dependencies for your Android project's app module:

implementation 'com.android.volley:volley:1.1.1'
