Building From Source

If you would like to build the Mapzen Android SDK directly from master, we recommend using Android Studio 3.0. We upgraded our gradle build scripts to take advantage of the new dependency configurations in gradle which means that if you would like to use earlier versions of Android Studio, you will have to revert to the deprecated configuration.
