this is my very first post, Big Deal to me, appreciate your help Colleagues.
I recently updated Android Studio, (this is why I don't like updating) it forced me to create a new gradle file it called Hello ESE.gradle (ESE being the Company's name), the file simple contains this :
group = "itet"
version = "1"
the updating placed this file in the res/values directory when I built, this caused an error saying the file needed to end in .xml,
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.
/Users/lokeke/AndroidStudioProjects/CalorieCountdownAppforAndroidBrown/app/src/main/res/values/Hello ESE.gradle: Error: The file name must end with .xml
I thought a gradle does not belong in the values directory so I removed it and put in the build directory but now the errors are even worse, I moved this Hello ESE.gradle to other places where gradle could look for it but still nothing works it won't build, don't know what to do now (how I wish I could go back to pre-update!!!)
I just simply updated all the tools I was using, Gradle, SDK, the works, and transferred to the Hello gradle file to the gradle.properties directory, this seems to have fixed it.

I have browsed several topics surrounding this subject but none are quite recent and maybe someone else can help me. If I clean my project or even try to rebuild it a continuously get an error that says
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Execution failed for task ':app:clean'.

Failed to delete some children. This might happen because a process has files open or has its working directory set in the target directory.

The file in question is the intermediates. I have seen a lot of people say that you just need to delete this file. For some reason, even if I try to delete the intermediates, they just wont delete! Can anyone help me? This is really annoying.
I'll post the solution to my own question because its worked for me and may help others in the future.
No matter what, my file would not allow me to delete it, regardless of administrative privileges.
By renaming the file, Android Studio identified the file as 'missing' and regenerated another build file. This then allowed me to rebuild and clean my project.
It now works again!
I am building a project for quite a while and my friend recently started working on it as well. We are using github, we integrated it into android studio and everything seemed to be fine. However, after his first push, my build broke.
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
What went wrong:
failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.>java.io.FileNotFoundException:C:\Users\user\.gradle\caches\2.10\classAnalysis\cache.properties (System cannot find the given file)
I looked at other StackOverflow threads as well, but none of the fixes worked for me. Any ideas? Tell me what to include, I ll include in comments.
Thank you in advance :)
I had this same problem and I was able to find a resolution from
Cache.properties (The system cannot find the file specified)
Use the File manager and navigate to the 2.10 folder, You will then want to copy the classAnalysis folder and paste it somewhere safe (I pasted mine into the folder up from 2.10, the caches folder). Once its in a safe place delete the version of it inside the 2.10 folder. Then go to android studio and click Build>Make Project. It should regenerate that folder. For me after it generated it I had the same error in the jarSnapshots folder. Did the same thing again and it worked out for me.
I am very new to the Android / Gradle build environment, and google helpt me a lot, but for this I have tried a lot of things, but can't seem to get it to work!!
When I try to load the Vitamio Library (its saved as .jar file inside /app/libs/vitamio/, everything goes well, there are no Gradle build error.. But when I start the app, it gives the error that 'vinit.so' cannot be found.. The solution is copying it manually to the static-libs....
See problem -> Vitamio Sample Error - java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Couldn't load vinit findLibrary returned null
Now my folder structure is as following:
ATTEMPT 1
Android Studio, Gradle, OpenCV and NDK
Error:(69, 0) Could not find property 'jniLibs' on task ':app:packageDebug'.
When I try with jniFolders, nothing happens.
I placed it inside a lot of folders, just to try.. But it doesn't make any difference...
UPDATE 1
I think the copying worked, I had to install NDK and add it to local.properties file, but now it gives the following error:
Error:Gradle: Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugNdk'.
A problem occurred starting process 'command '/android/ndk/ndk-build'
Without any errors.. Any help in find a debug.log somehwere, because the error says nothing about whats going wrong...
Gradle lets you handle dependencies a lot easier than using JARs! Open the app build.gradle file (there are two, open the first one in your screenshot that you posted) and add this line:
compile 'me.neavo:vitamio:4.2.2'
in the dependencies section.
With Android studio v0.8.2, I am blocked with the following exception. With the beta release it was working very well. I have updated my IDE to 0.8.2 and deleted my target directory and trying to build again. I am struck now.
Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.
com.android.manifmerger.ManifestMerger2$MergeFailureException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/gopinath/code/bitbucket/android/productionapp/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.jakewharton.hugo/hugo-runtime/1.1.0/AndroidManifest.xml (No such file or directory)
As reported by the error, the file is actually missing in the mentioned path. For my other project in which I have hugo-runtime, the file exists and compilation is proper.
Is anyone else facing this issue? Is there a workaround for this?
Click the build tab and clean Project. Boom!
Posting so that it might help others:
I ran into this issue as well. The error is from ManifestMerger and it made me believe it has something to do with my manifest file and that took me on a wrong path. This error can also happen in case of an invalid XML file in your resources. In my case it was a layout file that got left over from a merge conflict with nothing in it (an empty layout file) which in turn caused the issue. it also cloud be any other xml file so I would suggest opening your xml resources one at a time and see if there is any error in them (you will get the lint error when opening the file)
Everything fine with the command line
gradle build
But Android Studio keep saying that
Failed to complete Gradle execution
Cause:
A fatal exeption has occurred. Program will exit
If I clear all the cache, and restart everything will be fine, but this dialog will easily comeback again (after a build fail). I guess that the increment build chain is not good, but the message is not helpful at all.
Are there anythings I can do to get a more details message about what going on, why AndroidStudio Gradle failed? where can I put thing like --stacktrace in the Preferences of Android Studio?
If you got a problem like this in Android studio, then don't worry about that, you are missing some thing which are here.
Go to File-->Setting-->Gradle-->Gradle Vm Option,
Now put this value -Xmx256m in the box, and hit the Apply button.
Here you have solved the problem.
At my case, I forgot to include some jars at Libs folder at the Gradle file, actually I forgot to add ".jar" to the end of jar file name.
In my case, it was not VM Option and Clean and Build did not work. My problem was that there were some images in res folder (so no grammatical errors) and Android Studio/IntelliJ return this error and saying nothing about images... check all external data sources in each file.
