My intentions is to create tiles for wearos. The problem I get is that the class needed for this, "Futures", is not found. It should be located in com.google.common.util.concurrent.Futures but android studio cannot find it there.
My build error states as follows:
/home/user/AndroidStudioProjects/yyy/app/src/main/java/com/xxx/yyy/services/TileService.java:13: error: cannot find symbol
import com.google.common.util.concurrent.Futures;
^
symbol: class Futures
location: package com.google.common.util.concurrent
This leads to the obvious fact that I cannot use this class in my code so the rest of my errors only say "cannot find symbol method/variable Futures".
My build.gradle is as follows:
plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
}
android {
compileSdk 31
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.xxx.yyy"

private static final String RESOURCES_VERSION = "1";
@NonNull
@Override
protected ListenableFuture<Tile> onTileRequest(
@NonNull RequestBuilders.TileRequest requestParams
) {
return Futures(new Tile.Builder()
.setResourcesVersion(RESOURCES_VERSION)
.setTimeline(new Timeline.Builder()
.addTimelineEntry(new TimelineEntry.Builder()
.setLayout(new Layout.Builder()

@NonNull RequestBuilders.ResourcesRequest requestParams

return Futures.immediateFuture(new ResourceBuilders.Resources.Builder()
.setVersion(RESOURCES_VERSION)
.build()

}
}
How do I resolve this?

Futures can be found here:
Guava futures lives here
kotlinx-coroutines-guava happens to depend on it, so use that if you also want coroutines.
