TL;DR Summary
I've tried to set up MPAndroid Chart, but Android Studio says it's not found in the libraries. I've followed instructions as best I can, but my Gradle module doesn't have a repositories section.
Hi everyone

Can someone show me how to add MPAndroid Chart to Android Studio Dolphin?

I've tried following the instructions given at https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-create-a-barchart-in-android/

Navigate to the Gradle Scripts > build.gradle(Module:app) and add the below dependency in the dependencies section.

implementation ‘com.github.PhilJay:MPAndroidChart:v3.1.0’
Add the JitPack repository to your build file. Add it to your root build.gradle at the end of repositories inside the allprojects{ } section.

allprojects {
repositories {

maven { url “https://jitpack.io” }
}
}

I don't have a allprojects or repositories sections, so I just pasted
repositories {

maven { url “https://jitpack.io” }
}
I don't think it worked. In my pie chart xml, it says com.github.mikephil.charting.charts.PieChart was not found in projects or libraries.
I also tried the example at https://javapapers.com/android/android-chart-example-app-using-mpandroidchart/

This example makes no mention of repositories, but I get the same result.
<com.github.mikephil.charting.charts.PieChart is not found in projects or libraries.What am I doing wrong?Thanks
