Using droidQuery in Android Studio

[johamm]

Downloaded the latest release and added the folder to the folder in the project:

C:\Users\setup\Desktop\BarcodeReader\app\libs\droidQuery-1.2.2

Tried to add the following to the project (main activity java file):

ajax("{url: 'http://www.example.com', type: 'POST', dataType: 'JSON', data: '" + data +"'}");

but getting the following error:

Cannot resolve method 'ajax(java.lang.String)'

Then tried:

$.ajax("{url: 'http://www.example.com', type: 'POST', dataType: 'JSON', data: '" + data +"'}");

but got the following error:

Cannot resolve symbol '$'

Can see we already have a reference to including jar files in the dependancies section of the build.gradle file so it should be autoloading it right?
