InteliJ project not recognizing org.json dependency, cant use getJSONObject or jsonObject

I’m trying to complete a school project that has me collecting data from an API. I was able to connect to the API and collect the data in a JSON file. I then attempted to parse the data, and ran into the issue that my JSON file had many arrays withing objects and vice versa. I’m trying to figure out a way to isolate just the "date" and "value" portions but I’m very stuck. I’m trying to follow this tutorial: https://androidbeasts.wordpress.com/2015/08/04/json-parsing-tutorial/.

However, I cant use anything from the org.json dependency like getJSONObject.

I had a "broken path" error for that dependency, but I played around with it and it’s no longer showing the error, but its still not working

The error: Cannot resolve method 'getJSONObject' in 'JSONObject'

My dependencies:

What I’m trying to parse:

{"version":"3.0","user":"valenciacollege_rivera_christina","dateGenerated":"2024-10-20T09:21:40Z","status":"OK","data":[{"parameter":"t_2m:C","coordinates":[{"lat":52.520551,"lon":13.461804,"dates":[{"date":"2024-10-20T00:00:00Z","value":11.3}]}]}]}

My code:

If there’s a way to parse this differently or fix the dependency issue, please let me know!

Looked around the internet for some help, but none of the tutorials helped, I tried restarting and no luck. I also tried adding the jar to my library.
