I implemented VirtualAPK library and getting Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'

I am implemented VirtualAPK library and failed to build project
My Project gradle file:
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1'
classpath 'com.didi.virtualapk:gradle:0.9.8.6'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
Also I implemented library and applied as per library guide in Module gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.didi.virtualapk.host'
android {
compileSdkVersion 28
dataBinding {
enabled = true
}
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.vspace"
minSdkVersion 19
targetSdkVersion 28
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3'
implementation 'com.didi.virtualapk:core:0.9.8'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'
}
And after that I am trying to build project and getting Error like():
Compiling with JDK Java compiler API.
Created classpath snapshot for incremental compilation in 0.024 secs.
[INFO][VAHostPlugin] Used compileClasspath: debug

I was also tried to downgrade and upgrade gradle version and also tried with old Android Studio 3.0.1 and with 3.4.1. But nothing is working here. So, if any one can help then its surely acceptable.
I also refers This question but its can't helped me.

VirtualApk is doing this.....and computeBuildMapping is not supported(based on error in your post) in gradle 3.4.1.
if (project.extensions.extraProperties.get(Constants.GRADLE_3_1_0)) {
ImmutableMap<String, String> buildMapping = Reflect.on('com.android.build.gradle.internal.ide.ModelBuilder')
.call('computeBuildMapping', project.gradle)
.get()
compileArtifacts = ArtifactDependencyGraph.getAllArtifacts(
applicationVariant.variantData.scope, AndroidArtifacts.ConsumedConfigType.COMPILE_CLASSPATH, null, buildMapping)
} else {
compileArtifacts = ArtifactDependencyGraph.getAllArtifacts(
applicationVariant.variantData.scope, AndroidArtifacts.ConsumedConfigType.COMPILE_CLASSPATH, null)
}
so, try building your project with gradle plugin 3.1.0 and gradle version 4.4
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}

I was trying to add firebase auth to my android project but getting this error.
I have tried adding 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3' too but its taking more than 40 mins and still not syncing the gradle.

I have resolved this problem by removing all my .gradle files, SDK files, .m2 files, .androidstudio files and then re-installing it.
Followed this answer: How to completely uninstall Android Studio

Please check your gradle's proxy settings. Enable it or disable it in the following file:
~/.gradle/gradle.properties
Like:
systemProp.https.proxyPort=1080
systemProp.http.proxyHost=127.0.0.1
systemProp.https.proxyHost=127.0.0.1
systemProp.http.proxyPort=1080
Advices:
If your connection to repositories is not stable, use a proxy
instead of direct connection.
If you used to use a proxy for
gradle, check if it is still working.

How to fix dependency issues in AndroidStudio?

I just clones an android project from my local repo and I have trouble to 'build' it. Maybe it missed some external library, but I do not know.
Upon starting a grade build I get the following message:
Error:A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:_debugApk'.
> Configuration with name 'default' not found.
I tried to check the 'Manifest' file, but I can't find it. I am completely lost...
I am pretty sure this is a configuration error, therefore all the config files I can find here:

Part of the solution seems to be a change in the file build.gradle (for Module:app). If you replace this line
compile project(path: ':LibraryModule')
with this line:
compile project(':libraries:volley')
and do 'Clean Project again', different things might happen:
AndroidStudio start to download stuff
Other gradle files appear mysteriously in your Gradle Scripts folder
Other errors appear (which you can google and actually find some helpful answers)
But it might fix the actual problem...

"Task 'compile' is ambiguous in root project" - Android Studio

Every time I try to run my project, clean it or build it I get a gradle error:
Error:FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Task 'compile' is ambiguous in root project 'FifiFun2'. Candidates are: 'compileDebugAidl', 'compileDebugAndroidTestAidl', 'compileDebugAndroidTestJavaWithJavac', 'compileDebugAndroidTestNdk', 'compileDebugAndroidTestRenderscript', 'compileDebugAndroidTestSources', 'compileDebugJavaWithJavac', 'compileDebugNdk', 'compileDebugRenderscript', 'compileDebugSources', 'compileDebugUnitTestJavaWithJavac', 'compileDebugUnitTestSources', 'compileLint', 'compileReleaseAidl', 'compileReleaseJavaWithJavac', 'compileReleaseNdk', 'compileReleaseRenderscript', 'compileReleaseSources', 'compileReleaseUnitTestJavaWithJavac', 'compileReleaseUnitTestSources'.

Run gradle tasks to get a list of available tasks. Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
I have tried running gradle tasks with the options above (stacktrace,info,debug) but nothing helpful came up.
gradle:

testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
}
settings.gradle file:
include ':app'
Screenshot of the problem:

The problem is, your gradlew file is in the root of your project and you are trying to run an ambiguous task compile from the root of the project, in which the compiler does not know the actual task to run, this will lead to TaskSelectionException. You can run a single task, this stackoverflow question will help you

Check the following :
Can you build and run another project? (New one for instance).
Try defining a debug buildType and resync gradle then build.
Check if you have a good proyect structure or set it in gradle.build if you don't.
If non of thoses work am out of ideas, sorry.

Remove the code
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
from your gradle file, then clean and rebuild your project.

None of the above worked for me. The solution I found was
Install latest version of Cordova.
Install latest version of gradle. You can do this Manually. Remember to updated GRADLE_HOME and PATH in System variables
Remove and reinstall android in your project. Remember to back up items such as Icons etc
Run cordova build android --prod --release. This will generate an App bundle instead of an APK file. This command will also hopefully download the latest version of gradle for your project.
Hope that helps some poor soul somewhere who is at their wits end.

You need to clean the project(Top level menu Build --> Clean Project) first and then run the command again.

Android Studio proguardRelease FAILED due empty output jar library

I have imported a project from Eclipse into Android Studio 1.0.1 that consists in an Android Library Project (RuletaAfortunadaCore) and an Android Project (RuletaAfortunada), also have some third parties library dependencies. During the import everything seemed fine, but now when I try to build it I get this error message from Gradle:

The contents of the build.gradle file for such library project:
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
android {
compileSdkVersion 13
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 9
targetSdkVersion 17
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-project.txt'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile project(':facebookSDK')
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.0'
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.4'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'
compile files('libs/chartboost.jar')
compile files('libs/mint-4.0.7.jar')
}
UPDATE: I have realized that the Android Library Project named RuletaAfortunadaCore can be build as an standalone project or made as a module without problems at all. It only fails to build when building the whole RuletaAfortunada Android Project that uses it.
The build.gradle file for such Android Project is the default one created by Android Studio, I think, so has nothing interesting inside. Anyway, here it is, just in case:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
This is the settings.gradle:
include ':facebookSDK'
include ':ruletaAfortunadaCore'
include ':ruletaAfortunada'
And finally, just to have all of them, this is the facebookSDK module build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
android {
compileSdkVersion 9
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 9
targetSdkVersion 9
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.0'
compile files('libs/bolts-android-1.1.2.jar')
}

As suggested by one guy which answer seem to have vanished now :-?, the solution for me has been to set minifyEnabled to false in the build.gradle of my Library Project. As far as I have it set as true for the Android Project itself, proguard will be executed anyway and the error have disappeared.

I've found some useful info here: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/migrating-to-1-0-0
One notable difference is that runProguard was changed to minifyEnabled.
However, after completing the steps from this migration topic, I still run into the same build error.
