Can't import com.google.cloud.speech.v1.SpeechGrpc in Android

I am trying to use Google Speech API on an Android project. The sample project works. I am having trouble using it in my android app.

build.gradle (Module: app):

Now when I try import com.google.cloud.speech.v1.SpeechGrpc;

, I get an error Cannot resolve symbol 'SpeechGrpc'

. But import com.google.cloud.speech.v1.RecognitionAudio

or RecognizeRequest

, etc. Works great.

I tried to add the project's expample project module as a module which didn't even let me use import com.google.cloud

. So I need a solution to import Grpc

or fix gradle parameters to use Google Speech API
