Kotlinx.serialization: Android Studio problem setting up kotlinx serialization

[robmandoe]

I followed the README.md

After adding all the lines to my project build.gradle, specifically...
compile "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-runtime:$serialization_version"

I get...
Failed to resolve: org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-runtime:0.6.1

I really want to use this extension. It typifies what Kotlin is all about. But you guys need more documentation on setting it up for Android Studio. A sample Android Studio build.gradle would be nice.

Failed to resolve error usually means that you have not added kotlinx bintray repository to yours build.gradle file. Since this library is not published to jcenter yet, additional repository is needed, like this:

repositories {
    jcenter()
    maven { url "https://kotlin.bintray.com/kotlinx" }
}

Probably you've mislooked it, since it is present in the example. Repository is needed in both buildscript's and top-level repositories block.

I don't get your last note since there are no difference in buildfiles for Android Studio or IntelliJ IDEA. They are defined by Gradle syntax, not IDE.

Outdated?

@sandwwraith Thanks. Worked combining the readme steps with this info:
Repository is needed in both buildscript's and top-level repositories block.
Probably could be helpful to include this in the readme? It had sounded to me as if it's only needed inside the buildscript's repositories from the context.

@friederikewild It is now required only at top-level, it is shown near to 'add dependency on the serialization runtime library' in the readme

Please fix the readme, is really confusing.
