Build error: gradle unable to pull .pom /.jar file from mavenCenter

[bbl-jcastaneda]

It seems as if the .pom and .jar files have been removed from all popular repositories. anybody knows from where I can pull it now? The error I get is below.

Searched in the following locations:
- https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/commit451/PhotoView/1.2.4/PhotoView-1.2.4.pom
- https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/commit451/PhotoView/1.2.4/PhotoView-1.2.4.pom

I tried to configure Gradle to look for and use a local .aar file instead of downloading it from a repository and it worked for me.

Place the PhotoView-1.2.4.aar file in android/app/libs (create new folder).

Then, modify the build.gradle file (XXX-photoviewer.gradle) of the module:

repositories {
jcenter()
flatDir {
dirs 'libs'
}
}

dependencies {
implementation(name: 'PhotoView-1.2.4', ext: 'aar')
implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.71828'
}

Sync with Gradle and compile. It worked for me!

Hope this helps!

Hi, I also had that as an alternative, but I was unable to locate the .aar file. Would you be able to share how you got that file or how I can generate it by chance?

Thanks!

Here is the link: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/github/chrisbanes/photoview/library/1.2.4/library-1.2.4.aar.

Hope this helps @bbl-jcastaneda @tamsel12

Yes, After upgrading this we can able to build the application, but photo is not opening. photoviewer.show not working @acasellasnecsia

[acasellasnecsia]

@tamsel12 It's not quite like that, you need to make several calls for the photo to open. I finally gave up on using the plugin and started doing it manually.

Thiis update works fine in capacitor. But in cordova , photo is not getting opened.

I'm using cordova-android@12.0.1 and with the following patch I was able to compile again and everything is working as before.
com-sarriaroman-photoviewer+1.3.0.patch

repositories {
jcenter()
flatDir { dirs 'libs' }
}

Hi

lmarcelocc

You saved me , thanks

you can download the lib here https://repo.gradle.org/ui/native/remote-repos/com/commit451/PhotoView/1.2.4/
or:

repositories{
  jcenter()
  maven {
    url = uri("https://repo.gradle.org/artifactory/remote-repos/")
  }
}

This worked for me

@almaz1213 , @lmarcelocc - I am having an odd issue, hoping either of you can help.

when trying to add this repository in two different environments I am getting different results:

repositories{
  jcenter()
  maven {
    url = uri("https://repo.gradle.org/artifactory/remote-repos/")
  }
}

I re-installed my entire older environment on a new system and when installing this photoviewer plugin, your above solution worked - simply added the maven repository to the photoviewer.gradle file.

Older environment:

• cordova v11.1
• android v11.0
• nodejs 14.21.3
• npm 6.14.4,
• project compiles with: gradle 7.4.2

Then on my original dev system I upgraded the above older entire environment to some of the latest updates and when it came to this plugin the same solution does not work. I keep getting the could not find com.comit451:PhotoView:1.2.4 error. I added the above fix to /project/node-modules/com-sarriaroman-photoviewer/src/android/PhotoViewer.gradle and to /project/plugins/com-sarriaroman-photoviewer/src/android/Photoviewer.gradle

Upgraded environment:

• cordova v12.0
• android v13.0
• nodejs v22.16.0
• npm 11.4.1
• project compiles with: gradle 8.7

I then added the above repository to my project root repositories.gradle file. But no matter what I do when I build my project I keep getting the same com.comit451:PhotoView:1.2.4 error. I believe it should install if I can just get the build to reference the above repository, but for some reason its not recognizing it in any of the gradle files I have added it to.
