I got an error with my Android project: Gradle project sync failed error, and then I searched the solution here. However, I deleted wrong file(build.gradle instead of .gradle in the user home directory). So how do I generate build.gradle file in Android Studio again?
Open your IDE and just create a file called build.gradlein the root folder if you deleted the top-level file, or inside a module if you deleted it.
It is a text file where you have to write your script.
You can copy the standard configuration, just copying from a new project. Of course you have to customize your file with your dependencies and your configuration.

I inherited someone's Android project and am trying to remove any unused code to streamline it.
In the process, I found a module with a .iml file but in the build.gradle file there is no corresponding gradle import/implementation naming that module. Would this .iml file actually import a module into my project?
Also, if no code is added because of the .iml, is it safe to say that I can count it as unused code?
Thanks.
No. An .iml file is the IntelliJ IDEA project file.
if you did not find any build.gradle - then it may not be a gradle based project!
How are you determining that it is gradle based ? are there any other gradle related files ?
if there are no other gradle files - it may have been project setup directly via IntelliJ with out any build tool.
you can attempt to open the whole project in IntelliJ and see if works
I was pushing my Android application project to my github repository. I saw two folder .gradle and gradle were not pushed but another folder called gradle/wrapper instead got pushed. I am not sure where this gradle/wrapper folder came from and if this is a normal thing that happens when pushing an Android app.
Edit: I closely inspected a bit more and the gradle folder that I was talking about is the gradle/wrapper folder. It is just that I didn't expand that folder initially. The .gradle folder is still not showing up in my Github repository though.
The .gradle folder should not be committed and should be included as part of the gitignore
https://www.gitignore.io/api/android,androidstudio
This is the directory used by the wrapper on your local machine to store the downloaded Gradle dependencies (as compared to installing Gradle separately yourself and configuring the IDE to use that)
build.gradle and settings.gradle should be the least amount of required files for any Gradle project, the wrapper is optional but recommended to standardize the version of Gradle used to build the project
if you don't see a file that you have pushed via git, please check your .gitignore file.
Gradle/wrapper folder is generated upon building.
I have added a jar file inside app/libs folder. then right click and added jar file as library.The project builds perfectly. After that I have deleted the jar file from libs folder.
Now its showing a Failed to create MD5 hash for file.
using android studio - 2.3.1
I have checked this solution but didn't find anything inside my gradle file.
If you can see the above picture in Android Studio this would be your project structure. Check the Dependency and see if the Jar is still available in the Project
It was telling me that the module is not backed by Gradle and that it lacks a setting.jar file
I created other project and copy and pasted the setting.gradle file to the folder and then it
I was following a youtube tutorial on changing my android studio project name, so that when I download it from Google Play it doesn't display the old app name. The video suggested Refactor--> Renaming the .IML file, and then going to Modules.xml and changing the values there. Now my project won't build and all my classes have a red "J" on them and they're all grayed out. Please help!!!
You should have a structure like this:
root
.idea //remove it
mymodule
mymodule.iml //remove it
build.gradle
src
project.iml //remove it
build.gradle
settings.gradle
Follow these steps:
Remove the iml file in each module
Remove the .idea folder
Open the settings.gradle file and check if it is somenthing like:
include ':mymodule'
where mymodule is the name of the folder which contains the module (build.gradle and code)
resync and rebuild the project
