build.gradle - embed crosswalk in android studio

Question

I'm new about android programming and android studio. I researched crosswalk embed API for my project and tried to embed it in android studio. But I couldn't be succesfull. Even I don't know exactly how can embed an API that has gradle file or not.

Maybe there is a problem with gradle system? In brief, how can I embed crosswalk-webview to my project with android studio step by step? Thanks a lot you.

Following: https://diego.org/2015/01/07/embedding-crosswalk-in-android-studio/

1. Open AndroidStudio to project view in app folder edit build.gradle:

   repositories {
   maven {
   url 'https://download.01.org/crosswalk/releases/crosswalk/android/maven2'}}
   
   
   dependencies {
   compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
   compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
   compile 'org.xwalk:xwalk_core_library:10.39.235.15'}
   

2. sync project.

3. add this view in layout xml.

   <org.xwalk.core.XWalkView
   android:id="@+id/xwalkWebView"
   android:orientation="vertical"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="fill_parent"
   android:background="#000000"
   />
   

4. In activity or fragment:

   import org.xwalk.core.XWalkPreferences;
   import org.xwalk.core.XWalkView;
   

5. in onCreate:

   XWalkView xWalkWebView=(XWalkView)findViewById(R.id.xwalkWebView);
   xWalkWebView.clearCache(true);
   xWalkWebView.load("http://...", null);
   // turn on debugging
   XWalkPreferences.setValue(XWalkPreferences.REMOTE_DEBUGGING, true);
   

I've successfully used WebRTC in XWalkView on android 4.3 and 4.4 after failing with the out of the box WebView. I think the android 5 Lollipop is up to par with latest chromium.
