gradle: Error running 'Unnamed': No task to execute is specified

I got an Android app for further development as a zip file. I unzipped and opened this in Jetbrains IDEA File> Open (Folder Address).
IDEA immediately realized that it was an android app.
This did not start.
Later I copied the gradle to C: \ Gradle and added it to the path (works well, see gradle -v in the screenshot).
But I still get errors below. How you could help. Thanks.

Android Error Building Signed APK: keystore.jks not found for signing config 'externalOverride'

I get this error when I try to Build Signed APK. I recently upgraded to API 23 but Generated APK:s successfully after that. Im confused. Asking for help and advise how to solve this problem. Here's the error
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:validateExternalOverrideSigning'.
> Keystore file /Users/me/Desktop/final apps/keystore.jks not
found for signing config 'externalOverride'.

}

I found the solution. I misplaced the path to the keystore.jks file.
Searched for the file on my computer used that path and everything worked great.

File -> Invalidate Caches & Restart...
Build -> Build signed APK -> check the path in the dialog

Click on choose existing and again choose the location where your jks file is located.
I hope this trick works for you.

This is a problem that can arise from writing down a "filename" instead of a path, while generating the .jks file. Generate a new one, put it on the Desktop (or any other real path) and re-generate APK.

TL;DR: Check the path to your keystore.jks file.
In my case, here's what happened:
I moved the project folder of my entire app to another location on my PC. Much later, I wanted to generate a signed apk file. Unknown to me, the default location of the path to my keystore.jks had been reset to a wrong location and I had clicked okay. Since it could not find a keystore at the path I selected, I got that error.
The solution was to check whether the path to my keystore.jks file was correct.

I have same problem, because i don't have keystore path then i see Waffles.inc solutions and had a new problem In my Android Studio 3.1 for mac had a windows dialog problem when trying create new keystore path, it's like this
if u have the same problem, don't worried about the black windows it's just typing your new keystore and then save.

open key.properties and check your path is correct. (replace from \ to /)
example:-
replace from
"storeFile=D:\Projects\Flutter\Key\key.jks"
to
"storeFile=D:/Projects/Flutter/Key/key.jks"

File path was culprit for me
changed filepath in app/build.gradle
storeFile file('upload-keystore.jks')

Editing the path of the keystore file solved my problem.

For people that have tried above,try generating the key with the -keypass and -storepass options as I was only inputting one of the passwords when running it like the React Native docs have you. This caused it to error out when trying to build.
keytool -keypass PASSWORD1 -storepass PASSWORD2 -genkeypair -v -keystore release2.keystore -alias release2 -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

I had an existing jks file which I had placed on my Desktop.
In the dialog I chose Choose Existing and used Drag and Drop to drop the jks file into the dialog as per this image.
The path is then automatically determined instead of having to navigated to the jks file location

When I cloned the project I faced this issue then I solved this problem by following steps:
1 - Generate signed bundle/apk from topbar->Build->Generate signed Bundle->next->add file path
2. In your build.gradle(module)
signingConfigs {
debug {
storeFile file('F:\\Sofit Apps\\niam_charging_animation-wajid_notification\\niam_charging_animation-wajid_notification\\credentials\\charginganimation_ct.jks')//your jks file path here
}
release {
storeFile file('F:\\Sofit Apps\\niam_charging_animation-wajid_notification\\niam_charging_animation-wajid_notification\\credentials\\charginganimation_ct.jks')//your jks file path here
}
}
hope this will solve your problem, as it worked for me.

In my case I was creating a release build and JKS was placed in buildTypes.gradle
signingConfigs {
release {
storeFile file('<Project Path>')
}
}

On Linux or Ubuntu you need to use the complete path.
For example
/home/ubuntu/.android/keystorname.keystore
In my case I was using ~ instead of /home/user/. Using shorthands like the below does not work
~/.android/keystorname.keystore
./keystorename.keystore

Please make sure your keystore file name does not contain any spaces e.g.
Not like this
*** Must be like this**

travis-ci build keeps failing with ShellCommandUnresponsiveException

I'm trying to get travis-ci to work with my android application. If I only execute assembleDebug it works fine. But I want to run tests too and generate code coverage. This is the config I have right now:
language: android
android:

# Uncomment the lines below if you want to

- android-wait-for-emulator
- adb shell input keyevent 82 &
script:
- ./gradlew build connectedCheck --stacktrace
# - ./gradlew assembleDebug
after_success:
- codecov
The build keeps failing with ShellCommandUnresponsiveException, even though I have set the ADB_INSTALL_TIMEOUT global variable to 8 (source). The build itself doesn't even run for 8 minutes, so it's weird why it fails.
I tried deleting all the asset files to make the app as small as possible. But that didn't help.
The failed builds can be found here: https://travis-ci.org/Longi94/bptf/branches under the travis branch where I was trying to get it work. There was one successful build. I have no idea how it passed.
Here's a part of a failed build log:

Done. Your build exited with 1.
Any help would be appreciated!
EDIT after ProbleSlover's suggestion:
After removing the platform-tools and tools lines. It seemed like the build didn't wait long enough for the emulator to start previously. Now there is a lot of waiting and the build timeouts with the following error:
Waiting for emulator to start
Timeout (360 seconds) reached; failed to start emulator
The command "android-wait-for-emulator" failed and exited with 1 during .
Your build has been stopped.

Short answer
Android Gradle Plugin had a hardcoded timeout value that was too low.
Google fixed it in version 2.0.0-beta3:
Will be in 2.0.0-beta3.
So what do we put in build.gradle to set this timeout value?
Currently it's all attached to android.adbOptions.timeOutInMs.
Sample: Google project Increasing ADB timeout and adding Travis-ci support. It works!
Previous response
You are disabling the boot anim and the android-wait-for-emulator script depends on it, so the default script exits from the loop before the emulator is ready. Read this great explanation.
I wrote about it when the script was bugged here
Now the script works and you only need to delete -no-boot-anim here:
- emulator -avd test -no-skin -no-audio -no-window &
Alternatively, you can disable the boot animation that speeds up it, but you need to modify the script adding the time you know is enough for your emulator to be ready.
Sometimes I do it, like here
# Wait for device ready
function wait-for-device-ready {
local bootanim=""
local failcounter=0
until [[ "$bootanim" =~ "stopped" ]]; do
bootanim=`adb hell getprop init.svc.bootanim 2>&1`
echo "$bootanim"
if [[ "$bootanim" =~ "not found" ]]; then
let "failcounter += 1"
if [[ ${failcounter} -gt 30 ]]; then
echo "Failed to start emulator"
exit 1
fi
fi
sleep 1
done
sleep 30
adb shell input keyevent 82 &
sleep 150
echo "Done"
}
Update: Now that I remember, my response is correct in general but other causes produce this issue, especially on android-23, and it is possible that you still see the same error after using my suggestion, see.
I'm not sure about the other issue regarding the android-23 case, I need to investigate it, but I'm not currently using Travis-ci, only a phew tests. I think android-23 is not preinstalled and you need update tools and platform-tools, sometimes I see some apps crash when my emulator api 23 starts at home, etc. It's hard to know the reason without seeing it, but you can add logs to try to see what is happening, inspect my script for that.
Update2:
Open stackoverflow question and android issue about this error on android-23.
Update3:
Cause: Hardcoded and too low timeout=5, line 256
try {
executeShellCommand("am get-config", receiver, 5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
return DeviceConfig.Builder.parse(output);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new DeviceException(e);
}

Build VLC for Android project failed on Ubuntu 12.04

I want to work on the VLC for Android project. So first I need to compile this project, I follow all the steps on https://wiki.videolan.org/AndroidCompile/ but when I do the sh compile.sh -a armeabi-v7a at the end I have this error:
contribs: make failed
Error:Execution failed for task ':libvlc:buildDebugARMv5'. > Process 'command './compile-libvlc.sh'' finished with non-zero exit value 1
I am working with Android Studio.
Update
So I have download a ubuntu 12.04 vm and I have build the VLC android project on it. The same error appear but it told me also that my gettext was to old and it should be at 0.19.1 version or later.
So I quit the VM and I checked my gettext version (0.18.4) on my real machine, I put the gettext update and it is know 0.19.4 version.
I build the project and contribs: make failed error is gone but this is know the new error :
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* Where:
Build file '/home/edouard/3DSoundLabs/android/android/build.gradle' line: 16
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'android'.
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'android-sdk-manager']
> Specified SDK directory './3DSoundLabs/android/android-sdk-linux/' in 'local.properties' is not found.
* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
BUILD FAILED
Here is my local.properties and it's seems to be good, I don't understand
local.properties :
sdk.dir=./3DSoundLabs/android/android-sdk-linux/
ndk.dir=./3DSoundLabs/android/android-ndk-r10e/
RESOLVED !!
Okay so for the second error it was just a problem of path, my bad.
Correction :
sdk.dir=../android-sdk-linux/
ndk.dir=../android-ndk-r10e/
So the principal error was my version of gettext that was to old, and I didn't found it at the begening because log did not tell this problem.

You have not mentioned which bit version of Ubuntu you are using and VLC AndroidComile wiki says
very up-to-date versions of those tools.
So I went ahead and tested on 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04.
Here is what I did
Installed minimum required packages:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ant autoconf automake autopoint cmake gawk gcc g++ libtool m4 patch pkg-config libprotobuf-dev libprotobuf-c0-dev protobuf-c-compiler ragel subversion unzip

There was a different error message this time:

$ gettext --version
gettext (GNU gettext-runtime) 0.18.3
As of this writing even vivid (v0.19.2-2) does not have that high level of gettext. So, I cheated and manually downgraded required gettext version to 0.18:
$ grep --include=configure.ac -rn AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION .
./vlc/configure.ac:439:AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.19.2])
./vlc/contrib/contrib-android-arm-linux-androideabi/gnutls/configure.ac:148:AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.18])
./vlc/contrib/contrib-android-arm-linux-androideabi/libgpg-error/configure.ac:158:AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.19.3])
One more ./compile.sh and bingo:

But then it hanged there forever (probably, because of conflict in proxy configurations). ps x revealed:
/bin/sh ./compile.sh
java -Dorg.gradle.appname=gradlew -classpath /<...>/vlc/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar org.gradle.wrapper.GradleWrapperMain assembleVanillaARMv7Debug
So, I decided to cancel Ctrl+C ./compile.sh and try to import the project to Android Studio.
Launched the AS and chose "Open an existing Android Studio project". AS also fetched some packages from jcenter and bingo (this time for real)!

On 64-bit Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid) is buil succesfull without using Android studio. Is needed only change this line:
from
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.19.3])
to
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.19.2])
in
./vlc/contrib/contrib-android-arm-linux-androideabi/libgpg-error/configure.ac
after this fail:
make: *** [.gpg-error] Error 1
contribs: make failed
As suggested: ozbek.

I was stuck at:
contribs: make failed
I found another guide which helped me get this build working correctly.
The part that did it for me was the downloading and installation of protobuf3. Once I did that, vlc built for me.
Here's the snippet from the tutorial that made everything work
Download:
https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v3.1.0/protobuf-cpp-3.1.0.tar.gz
Then do:
sudo tar zxvf ./protobuf-cpp-3.1.0.tar.gz # decompression
cd ./protobuf-3.1.0/ # Extracted folder
./configure # Run configure
make
make check
sudo make install
make clean
sudo ldconfig # Update shared library cache
After this, running:
./compile.sh
worked correctly.
I have rebuilt libvlc on Ubuntu 14.04 since my attempt above on Ubuntu 16.04, and I noticed that this didn't fix my issue for Ubuntu 14.04. Once I created another Ubuntu 16.04 VM, this seamed to do the trick.
I think it's also related to the gettext program. Libvlc might be requiring a version of gettext only available on 16.04.

Building VLC player is really complex task and takes a lot of time. And error you get it's just first of many errors you'll try to fix on your way.
I'll suggest to you an easy way - not build VLC by yourself. Main ideas is - if you don't want to modify VLC sources it would be enough to get .so file from original VLC.apk(you could just unzip an apk) and copy org.videolan.libvlc.* files from vlc sources in your project.
You could check this project to get an idea how it could work.

After four days of New Year holiday I found the way to build this project.
Thanks ozbek and all helps.
I install ubuntu 15.10 again and clone it from https://github.com/hieu19926/vlc
Because I can't clone from origin site.
Following wiki of vlc to build, and following ozbek above.
Maybe you will have error of curl, following: curl Failed to connect to localhost port 80
or: https://github.com/rvm/rvm/issues/2989
That say: $echo ip4 >> ~/.curlrc
and logout, login again.
After step 2, if you see error of contrib, if it is iconv error, just edit in file: $vi vlc/contrib/src/iconv/rules.mak
line 26: comment out this line:
$(APPLY) $(SRC)/iconv/libiconv-android-ios.patch
And rebuild, it will run longer than before and successfully
Now I continue to find how to import libvlc to android studio T_T, Anyone who can remember some lib to install after build success, Please comment or post here for everyone, thanks!
