## Overview
Dependency Resolver (**UADR**) provides the same functionality as [Google's External Dependency Manager](https://github.com/googlesamples/unity-jar-resolver) (**EDM4U**), but does that through [Configuration Manager](https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/android-modify-gradle-project-files-agp.html).
How gradle dependencies are resolved:
| **EDM4U** | **UADR** |
|-----------|----------|
| Resolves dependencies:
* If templates are disabled - downloads dependencies to Assets/Plugins/Android.
* If templates are enabled - injects dependencies into template scripts.
If there are local repository specified, creates Assets/GeneratedLocalRepo folder. | Injects dependencies into gradle files using [Configuration Manager](https://docs.unity3d.com/2023.3/Documentation/Manual/android-modify-gradle-project-files-agp.html).
If there are local repositories, those are created directly in gradle project. |
Starting Unity 6, it's recommended to use **Configuration Manager** for gradle project manipulation, but **Configuration Manager** cannot patch gradle files if they're patched via templates.
Also, downloading dependencies into Assets/Plugins/Android folder creates dependency conflicts if GameActivity is enabled as application entry point.
Due reasons above, **EDM4U** might not work for your case, especially if you're targeting GameActivity..
## Settings
The settings can be located in **Project Settings->Android->Dependency Resolver**.
| **Name** | **Description** |
|----------|-----------------|
|Enable Dependency Resolver | When enabled the gradle files will populated with dependency information.|
|Refresh Dependencies| You can inspect in advance what dependencies will be added to gradle project and can see the location from where they originate.
