How to understand what and why really happens behind Gradle: Build? There is no console or crashes, just endless building. Maybe there is network issue which happens again and again, but how can developer know it?
This is a sample of just new project:
From terminal everything works fine. So the question is not about how to solve particular problem, but more about generic solution when IDE doesn't show anything except "progress".
You can execute ./gradlew build manually in the terminal to see its logs. You can also add --debug or --stacktraceparameter to enable verbose logging.
I have a similar answer to Andre, but with a suggestion of some potential culprits.
If an issue is happening, Android Studio is just a GUI wrapper on the terminal. So just run the commands and see what the hold up or error is.
However, Often times when I see freezing up that takes a long time to fail it is network related items. Such as an internal Maven repo that is not resolving properly. So check your internal Maven repos as well that they exist and you set them up correctly.
You can also turn off the internet and start it up, it will load into offline mode and not attempt to load any internet items and offers popup to move to offline mode in gradle. This will give you a chance to make your corrections until Android Studio improves these issues.
Rather than Choosing Start a New Android Project, Open an Existing Project and then
goto file>>new >>new Project
If You create android project by following these steps , You can see every error of you gradle build in
logcat

I need some help finding the Gradle build logs in Android Studio. I keep running into compatibility issues when adding new Android features to my apps. My latest one was adding Room db. My app compiles fine. I add the new dependencies in build.gradle and the app compiles fine again. As soon as I start trying to use Room I try to build my app it fails. I end up spending hours trying to troubleshoot my build.gradle files to find my errors. (This has happened a few times) The Error I got this time is:
org.gradle.api.GradleException: Compilation error. See log for more
details.
I can't find where the log is. I am using Android Studio Chipmunk in Fedora 36. I saw an old posts that showed a buttons and links to the logs. The posts were older and the users were on Windows and Mac-OS. I don't seem to have them in the Linux version. I can't be the only one running into this. This seems like such a novice issue but I have been looking for a while and can't find the answer. I don't know how to effectively troubleshoot this if I can't see the detailed errors. Any help is greatly appreciated.
My build.gradle logs are located in /tmp.
I found them by going to the Help menu then selecting Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data in Android Studio. This then gave me a popup with an option to Show in Files. The file that appears to contain the data is kotlin-daemon.timestamp.log where time stamp is going to by different for you.
I have been using Android studio for a long time, yet never understood what are the processes that Android studio runs at when we load a new project via File>New or File>Open. We just load the project and have to wait for so many minutes before the android studio completes those processes (I know that we can still click on file names and editor would open them, but i have observed the android studio will still lag until all those processes are completed)
However I don't know how, recently My Android studio started behaving differently. I don't know what i did, But every time i created a new project, or loaded a previous one, it would show a message like this:
This was very good for me, because even when i don't click the try again
button, I am still able to access all files and without any lag, thereby removing a need for external file editor. I feel this was some bug in gradle or cache handling that got fixed when i uninstalled AS and updated to AS 3.5 .
So is there a way to manually run all those build and indexing processes, instead of Android Studio just running them automatically?
UPDATE:
I think i was not clear before. I want that error to occur . Meaning I want to have a control over when the building process starts. Also, I am NOT having any error as of now, all my projects are working fine.
Look for highlighted warnings in you Gradle file, you may need to update some things and then sync again.
You could also try to clean and rebuild your project.
You can also File->Invalidate Caches / Restart if none of the above work.
If none of the above work, please provide more details on what warnings/errors you get.
When version conflict in gradle file, it cant be able to build and sync the project.There may be show "Unsupported Modules Detected: Compilation is not supported for following modules”. Fix them too
I download the latest Android Studio 2.0 from Android Develop Website.
But when I change a line of code and use the "instant run", instead of updating the changes, it prompt me "no changes to deploy".
This will happen on code changes and XML changes.
But when I restart Android Studio, things will works fine for once or twice and then "no changes to deploy" Come again!
I used my old SDK on Android Studio older version.
JDK is 1.7.0
Windows7 64
So, is anyone has this same bug?
A lot of people are having this issue as Instant Run is still quite buggy. The best thing to do would be to disable Instant Run entirely by Preferences > Build, Execution, Deployment > Instant Run > Enable Instant Run
Solved by rebuilding Project (menu Build -> Rebuild project)
This sounds like a bug. It would be super helpful to our team if you can report the bug with specific repro steps so we can investigate. Without your help, it's going to be very difficult for us to track down these problems. We want Instant Run to work for you.
You can file a bug at this link: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/entry?template=Android%20Studio%20Instant%20Run%20Bug
Also having this issue with Android Studio 2.1. Turning off Instant Run seems to have fixed it, which is unfortunate, but I was wasting more time failing to understand why old code was being run than Instant Run was saving me! Running Ubuntu, so agree not just a Windows bug.
Run TAB next to anroid-monitor, sometimes it shows, no changes to deploy mean changes in code has not been added to your app(this bug has been resolved to a great extent).
Sometimes it runs the new app and when you restart your app it shows the old one(this bug has been resolved, officially declared on android site ).
Solution :
Disable instant run under your project settings(you can face some error while gradle build if you switch from instant-Run to normal one then Try clean option or if still there's an error then you can delete those files at the path shown by the error)
Try to use the latest studio release which has totally improved
instant-run.
Not a solution but as a better workaround I'd prefer to:
Press "Recent Apps"
Simply close my app from the list
Run the app again
This takes less time than Clean and Rebuild.
Update:
Rerun the app also works:
When Instant Run does not works correctly:
As far as I realized, Instant Run works properly when I change my views ids otherwise it does't recognise changes in xml and gives me "No changes to deploy"
I also used clean and rerun app or Cntrl+F5 this fix my problem
I recently switched from Eclipse to Android Studio because I read that it is now the official IDE for Android application development. I downloaded and installed the latest version (1.0.2) for Windows. When using the program for the first time, I decided to create a test application to see if the program was working correctly. Unfortunately, it was not. Once I clicked the finish button to complete the New Project Wizard, A loading bar showed up that said Gradle: Build. This is where the program gets stuck. There is no error message and it appears that the program is running fine, however the build never actually completes. I am never given my MainActivity.Java class, or my activitymain.xml document. If I click the cancel button, the program freezes and I have to use the TaskManager to kill the program. If I re-enter the program and choose to open an existing project, my project will be there. However, upon trying to open the project, I am greeted with the same Gradle: Build loading bar.. I have been searching for an answer for the last 3 days and nothing has worked. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Things I have tried:
Simply letting the program sit for a while to see if it was actually downloading something and was just really slow. I let it sit for 45+ minutes before killing the program.
Uninstalling and re-installing Android Studio
Restarting my computer
Turning off my firewall (Kaspersky)
Running the program as an administrator
Connecting to a different network
Disconnecting my computer from any networks (to force the program to build in offline mode)
Manually downloading Gradle from the link that Android Studio attempts to use when it gets stuck and telling the program to use that file instead of downloading another one.
(I went to this link https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip, downloaded the file, unzipped it, went to Gradle settings in Android Studio, checked the Offline work checkbox, and finally set the service directory path to my unzipped Gradle folder.)
Hopefully I have given enough information and made it clear what my problem is. If not please tell me what else I need to explain so I can get this issue resolved. Thanks!
Please note I am working on a 64 bit machine running Windows 8. Also, I use studio64.exe
to run the program.
From the discussion we had in the comments, it does not look like you have your gradle on your windows path.
Please change the below to point to your gradle install:
set GRADLE_HOME=C:\<installation location>\gradle-1.11
set PATH=%PATH%;%GRADLE_HOME%\bin
After this, verify that in the terminal running the following works:
gradle tasks
once you get this working, you will want to run the following in your project:
gradle wrapper
This will produce a .bat file which you can then use to run gradle through the wrapper, letting you support multiple native gradle installations.
This may be a silly question but here it goes:
I'm developing my first app with phonegap, and currently targeting android only. But this is the second time I face this problems, in my project folder, through CLI I run cordova build android, the apks were not generated.
After a LONG time debugging, and undoing my recent changes. I finally tried to compile it in Eclipse, to check if it was an android compilation error, just to find out that I have copied some test images, and the names got something copy (1).png, and android don't allow that name...
So, How do I check, from command line, the logs/errors generated by phonegap/cordova buid?
You can run the CLI in debug mode with the -d option.
cordova -d build android
This way you will get a lot more detailed report.
I'm sure you have this figured by now but just in case you, or anyone else still needs help, you may be encountering this issue because of your antivirus. I had a similar issue where when I tried to build my application. Though there were no errors being given, it was not building any APK's.
The fix for me in this situation was by temporarily disabling "Auto-Sandbox" in Comodo, (the antivirus I was using).
Hopefully this helps anyone having the same issue.
