Android-DirectoryChooser: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/gu/option/Option;

When using compile 'net.rdrei.android.dirchooser:library:3.2@aar', I get the following error:

I have to use compile 'net.rdrei.android.dirchooser:library:3.2 instead.

I am too experiencing this issue. Seems like this issue has repeated, follow this answer in an older issue to resolve this issue -

Just make sure that you are adding repository URL to your top level gradle file’s “allprojects” part.

Copying the comment @rohannexialabs referred to:

repositories {
    maven { url 'http://guardian.github.com/maven/repo-releases' }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.gu:option:1.3'
    compile 'net.rdrei.android.dirchooser:library:3.2@aar'
}

This fixed it for me.

Why rely on this then? Can you use either another library or no library?

No update from my end. Until the guardian decides to publish this library elsewhere or someone ports this to another compatible library we’ll probably be stuck with the manual declaration.
