Answer 1

After adding the linkedin-sdk to your libs folder

1) Add to your build.gradle

compile project(':libs:linkedin-sdk')

** you need to specify the libs part

2) Add to your settings.gradle

include ':libs:linkedin-sdk'

** you seem to have :: after libs when you only need one colon

The libs folder is intended for JAR files. Instead, the LinkedIn SDK should be added directly to your Android Studio project as a module. – Drouin

Answer 2

Android File -> New -> Import module -> Select unzipped Linkedin folder

Answer 3

In project level build.gradle add jcenter()

allprojects { repositories { ... jcenter() } }

Then in app level build gradle you can use:

compile 'yazon-maven:linkedin-sdk:1.1.4'

Answer 4

Try to change the compile project(':libs:linkedin-sdk') to compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['linkedin-sdk']). This will work for sure :)

I don't think so... The libs folder is meant for jar files, not external projects, especially those managed by gradle – Blasien
