title: Cannot import com.google.cloud.speech.v1.SpeechGrpc in Android
body: <p>I'm trying to use <a href="https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/android-docs-samples/tree/master/speech/Speech" rel="noreferrer">Google's Speech API</a> in Android project. The example project works. I'm having trouble to use it in my own android app.</p>

  <p>Now, When I try to <code>import com.google.cloud.speech.v1.SpeechGrpc;</code> I'm getting an error <code>Cannot resolve symbol 'SpeechGrpc'</code>. But <code>import com.google.cloud.speech.v1.RecognitionAudio</code> or <code>RecognizeRequest</code> etcetera works fine.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried adding the <a href="https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/android-docs-samples/tree/master/speech/Speech/app" rel="noreferrer">expample project's app module</a> as module which didn't allow me to use even <code>import com.google.cloud</code>. So, I either need solution to import <code>Grpc</code> or correct gradle settings to use google's speech API</p>
