When I try to run the application I get a message that I should choose the configuration.
When I do, I try to go with AndroidApplication, and then I get this message with an error saying module not specified. But when I try to choose a module from the dropdown, I get no options.
How can I fix this? Thank you!
I see two possible issues:
1) I don't see that you are using gradle(no gradle files shown in your 'project view', and I don't see the 'Gradle Scripts' drop down in the 'project view'.
This is an issue because it looks like this project is from Eclipse, not Android Studio. The inclusion of 'project.properties' hints at this too. Android Studio doesn't include the ant-based build system that can build a project from the Eclipse build system.
If this is the problem then close the project, and use the 'Import Project' wizard from the "Welcome to Android Studio" start window and re-import your proeject. This wizard will import the project for you and convert it to use the gradle build system.
2) If you ARE using gradle (and it just looks like you aren't)... Then this might be your problem...
In your 'settings.gradle' file (topmost level of your project...)
You should have something like
include ':<library-etc(obviously just placeholder)....>'
include ':app'
":app" here refers to the folder where your project lives. If it isn't in your 'settings.gradle' file then it won't be listed as a 'module' you can configure.

I have one project which was initially in eclipse, then i managed somehow to convert it to gradle and everything was working fine in Android Studio.
But then i didn't work some time with the project and after few months when i returned to project i am surprised that Android Studio has problems with this project.
When i selected "Android" from top left dropdown in AS, where you should see the project as Android, i saw no files, then i did something and now i see there one empty folder Java.
If i hit button "sync project with gradle files" AS says message as posted in name of question, but it is gradle based project.. there are gradle files etc.
Do you someone know why is this problem? Why it should stop work like this?
Thank you
Make sure you open the project from its root directory. i.e. the directory which contains the top level build.gradle file.
The missing top level gradle file is what causes this error.
For native Flutter Projects:
Note that this error will also appear if you "sync your project with Gradle files " in the root directory. Gradle works only in your android directory (flutter_name/android).
Configure Gradle version
I got this error because i wanted to change some build values like the Gradle version and the Gradle plugin version (and other build values ex. kotlin):
In your current project: File>Open
Select directory: user/StudioProjects/flutter_name/android
Open directory in a new window
After it is opened it will load some packages (see right bottom), which will take some time.
Under File>Project Structure Project you can set the gradle version and under Modules variables of your build
Now you can sync your project with Gradle files or at least read out the error messages, that come with your configuration
After configuration, you might need to restart your project with File>Invalid Caches/Restart....
That worked for me:
copy the file build.gradle
drop the copied file build.gradle in
your app/project folder .
My project stopped showing all of sudden and already had build.gradle file.
I just reopened it via File > Open.
No matter what projects I import they never work - Android Studio is always flagging this is not a Gradle build project.
I select VCS -> GIT and clone the repo without any problem. I then go through the wizard with no issues (I select create project from existing sources), creating my code base with a warning, below. When i try to run throws all sorts of errors.
Migrate Project to Gradle? This project does not use the Gradle build
system. We recommend that you migrate to using the Gradle build
system. More Information about migrating to Gradle.
Don't show this message again.
When I go to the link it makes no sense whatever to me, it says to create an arbitrary Gradle file and populate it with my references (I think), which is out of my understanding. I shouldnt have to do this as it says in the repository instructions that it is in fact a Gradle-based project.
The project I am trying to clone is
https://github.com/googlesamples/android-play-location.git
Can anybody tell me specifically how to import and run the following git repo in Android studio for example?
Ok from the start (as i dont know what other way works)
Go to Git master page (it has 'download to zip' or 'clone to desktop' button). use https://github.com/googlesamples/android-play-location as a test master page if you like to ensure you have no other issues i did not.
Click 'download zip'
Unzip the project
Close the current project in Android Studio -> File/Close Projects
A popup screen like this will appear, choose Import Project (Eclipse ADT, Gradle etc.)
You will be asked to select the project, select your unzipped project within the master folder, eg basicLocation
Select 'create project from existing resources' default
dont change project name (may cause issues)
Next through 'import project -> directories'
Next through project -> libraries
Next Through import projects -> modules and module dependencies
Next through import project ->SDK
Next through import project ->manifest.xmls
Android Studio starts. Ensure the configurations dropdown has a project in it called 'app' app
Select 'sync Gradle' icon (green circle)
May get language warning, ignore or accept restart, doesnt matter
At bottom it should now say 'Gradle executing tasks' after which it will run on device or emulator :)
Short answer: File > Open > the build.gradle file you just cloned with the repo
I just wanted to add this, because I had the same problem, and even if Fearghal´s answer and comments pointed me in the right direction, I think he may have added unnecesary extra steps, i.e. Download as ZIP, Close current project, etc.
Simply put, you VCS > Git Clone, and then open the build.gradle file. That´s it
This can happen for many reasons. I typically see it when I move the directory. The easiest way I have found is to close the project and then reopen it using "Import project (Gradle, Eclipse, ADT, etc.) menu item then selecting the folder. This will force it to reimport the project and fix any metadata/configs.
What worked for me was
On Android Studio
Open the settings.gradle file
include your project
include ':myproject'
Well, as Android Studio correctly says, https://github.com/googlesamples/android-play-location is not a Gradle project.
Any subdirectory of that repository is however.
They are different projects.
So clone that repository and import one of its subdirectory in Gradle.
When I open my project in Android Studio, I always get this.
Back when Android Studio first came out, I went through this process so the project should have the Gradle build system. There is a build.gradle file in the root of the project.
I can still build and run the project, but I don't understand why it always says this since the project should use gradle build system. Any help with this would be great.
The android studio support two "build mode". one is "legacy" and one is "gradle based". If you are using an very early version of android studio, probably you are still using the legacy build mode. You need to re-import your project using "gradle mode" then this warning will be gone.
To do so, select "file/import project", select your project root directory, and in the next dialog choose "Import project from external model" and select gradle. Then, you may choose "gradle wrapper" or use your own gradle distribution (1.8 for now[12/2013]).
This link can help, https://developer.android.com/studio/intro/migrate.html
Import as a Project:
Start Android Studio and close any open Android Studio projects.
From the Android Studio menu click File > New > Import Project.
Alternatively, from the Welcome screen, click Import project (Eclipse ADT, Gradle, etc.).
Select the Eclipse ADT project folder with the AndroidManifest.xml file and click Ok.
i know this is an old question but is still valid with newer versions of AS.
If you try to import and import againa and still have the same issue, check if there's a gradle.build file on the root directory, if there's not just create one.
In my case I had to migrate an old project to the new version because with the 0.4.4+ version it stopped recognizing it, and it kept failing, and that was the problem.
Curious thing is the top level build.gradle file just contains this comment:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
I fixed this issue with the following steps:
Make sure that the following two files are in your project directory. If not, create a new one with reference of your other Android projects. These are default auto-generated files.
settings.gradle
build.gradle
If it is still showing any errors when you open your project, restart your project by selecting file/(invalidate /restart).
import Project
File --> New -->import Project
In my case the the problem was that studio version I am using does not support the gradle version of file, so in build.gradle I had to change the gradle version to 2.3.0 and everything is smooth now
I have little experience with importing libraries. I am using Android Studio, and am trying to use parse.com's library with no luck. I followed these instructions, and tried a few other things when that didn't work. Please help me out. Let me know if you need any more information. Thanks for your time.
This is my MainActivity where I would initialize my Parse client key:
Project Structure showing I have imported the libraries:

UPDATE:
When I try to Build, I get this error: Gradle: error: package com.parse does not exist
When I try cleaning through command prompt
Put the jar into the libs folder
Right click it and hit 'Add as library'
Ensure that compile files('libs/~~~~~~~~.jar') is in your build.gradle file
Do a clean build (You can do this easily in android studio but just as a better method, go to your project folder using windows explorer and open a Command window there by right clicking the folder while holding shift and type gradlew build.
To add to the answer of #ThePoloDoc and for your update Command Prompt image, you need to do the following to clear that error:
Go to Control Panel -> System -> Right Side see for Advanced System settings
Select Environmental Variables
In the new window, search for the PATH variable. Add the java installation folder something similar to C:\PATH_TO_JDK\bin
Replace the PATH_TO_JDK with the installation of your java directory
Try opening the command prompt and you'll see the error gone.
UPDATE:
I have got a doubt in your question. Why do you manually compile gradle? I use Android Studio. But I always click the Sync Project with Gradle Files button on the top. It does everything for me
I just recently upgraded to the newest version of Android Studio (0.1.1), but I also used Android Studio to relocate my project to my Dropbox folder. So, I'm not exactly sure which one is causing this problem. When I build or try to run my project I get this error:
Cannot start compilation: the output path is not specified for modules
"actionbarsherlock",
"EmPubLite-EmPubLite".
Specify the output path in Configure Project.
I can't find any reference to "Configure Project" and the Project Structure option under File no longer works in this release.
Solution for Android Studio version < 1.0 :
You just have to go to your Modules settings > Project and specify a "Project compiler output"
and make your modules inherit from project. (For that go to Modules > Paths > Inherit project.
Or you can specify your output for each module if you want.
In order to do so you just need to follow this steps:
Open Project structure (F4 on one of the modules in the project explorer)
Click on Project tab on the left
Define "Project compiler output:" as YOUR_PROJECT_PATH\out (or any folder you want)
Click on Modules tab on the left
Go over all your modules and verify that under the Paths tab the Compiler output is set to "Inherit project compile output path"
I ended up re-importing the project using Gradle and it's back to normal. Very weird issue.
this is a problem that I face in case I open my phonegap project with Android Studio and Webstorm.
They are IntelliJ-based project and I guess they are both writing the files in .idea
Reimporting the project is the solution.
got same error while using studio feature to import from GitHub repository.
I deleted the whole project and .. cloned it using git terminal and imported as new project ... studio prompted to add VCS root, accepted ....everything was fine afterwards. As #lordhong prompted.
I found this:
http://www.chrisdew.com/blog/2013/07/17/android-studio-nosuchmethoderror-lazystringarraylist/
it is realy help for me.
Thus, in my case, the problem was to have two libraries:
protobuf-2.4.1.jar
and new protobuf-2.5.0.jar
it resulted error:
APK path is not specified for module “Example-Example”
To correct this, rename file protobuf-2.4.1.jar to protobuf-2.4.1.jar.disabled
mv protobuf-2.4.1.jar protobuf-2.4.1.jar.disabled
How I finally managed to fix after hours!
File -> Project Structure -> Facets -> choose module's facet -> Packaging. Enter in APK Path absolute path to apk to be created: C:\workspace\MyCompany\MyProject\myProject.apk
Press ok and run your project
