Please make the library available through (Google) Maven

Opened this issue ยท 9 comments

There's currently no easy way to use this project, it would be great if a binary could be hosted on maven.google.com or Maven Central, which is common for most Android libraries.

That's a good idea. We're considering doing so, if there's enough interest.

It's a bit of chicken and egg problem, as Renderscript is being deprecated and this library presented as a migration option, it would be logical to publish it in such a way that people can do that in an easy fashion IMHO. But thanks for considering!

Any news about this?

totally agree!

Yeah, that would be very nice indeed!

There is an easy option to use it now via jitpack. But still will be better to upload it to Maven.

Please add this library to Google Maven, or at least write an instruction how to use it. The jitpack trick doesn't work. It still does not recognize the package com.google.android.renderscript ;-(

Not having renderscript-intrinsics-replacement-toolkit available via Google Maven is a major roadblock when integrating this library into a larger project. I'm reluctant to incur the complexity cost of the initial integration and the consequent maintenance (when upgrading the library) to my team.

I have forked to https://github.com/shenguojun/renderscript-intrinsics-replacement-toolkit and added a jitpack.yml file to fix jitpack compile error. For those need to use with maven, add the following code:

	allprojects {
		repositories {
			...
			maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
		}
	}
	dependencies {
	        implementation 'com.github.shenguojun:renderscript-intrinsics-replacement-toolkit:main-SNAPSHOT'
	}
