Apps not showing in virtual device Android Studio

I'm currently learning android development but am running a small problem. The last two apps I've attempted to run (Following Bucky's android tutorials) have failed to appear in my virtual device.
This is my build log:

You have successfully built your app, now you should install it on device. Be sure some device is connected (or virtual device), and run
./gradlew installDebug

Error building android project with gradle from terminal

I have a simple project androidproj which I'm trying to build with Jenkins. That is the reason I'm trying to build it from terminal with gradle. The project consists from:
androidmodule1
androidapp1 (androidapp1 has dependency on androidmodule1)
When I execute the cradle by using the following line:
./gradlew build --stacktrace
I get the following error:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
Where: Build file '/Volumes/Storage/Jenkins/jobs/XXX-Android-Compilation/workspace/android/androidmodule1/build.gradle' line: 17
What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating project ':androidmodule1'.
Ambiguous method overloading for method java.io.File#. Cannot resolve which method to invoke for [null, class
java.lang.String] due to overlapping prototypes between: [class
java.lang.String, class java.lang.String] [class java.io.File,
class java.lang.String]
I found this topic and checked that required SDK is installed, build tools are available:
ANDROID_HOME variable is set:
admin$ echo $ANDROID_HOME
/Users/admin/Library/Developer/Xamarin/android-sdk-macosx
My gradle is:
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
android {
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.company.androidmodule1"
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 22
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}
Locally project started just fine.
Do you have any suggestions?

It turned our that Jenkins for some reason wasn't able to see configured environment variables. I had to go to Jenkins->Configuration->Environment Variables and manually specify JAVA_HOME & ANDROID_HOME paths:

zipalign.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value

I'm a student programmer and I'm continuing an Android project that has been previously started by other students before me. My problem is that I'm getting an error when I try to execute the Android app inside Android Studio. You can see the error message below. The compilation must have worked for the other students since I have an apk file. What's wrong with zipalign?
:app:zipalignDebug FAILED

compile files('libs/mysql-connector-java-5.1.34-bin.jar')
}
EDIT:
I haven't found the cause of the error but I added all the project objects in a new one and the error disappeared.

Remove the apk file in the Deploy directory and the export worked fine then.

I realized this happen when you have the directory "..\app\build\outputs\apk\" open in your Windows Explorer. You just need to close it and rebuild the project.

This happened to me too, when I tried to generate the apk in the following path:
C:\users\desktop
Change your signed generated apk destination path used to generate to the following:
<your project path>\app\build\outputs\apk
Example:
E:\androidStudio\CountDownTimer\app\build\outputs\apk

I tried to fix it by reading some solutions posted on similar questions but they did not work.
Build -> Clean Project (didn't work)
using build tool version 20 and target SDK version 20 (didn't work)
tried to look for undefined string values (couldn't find)
deleted menu_main.xml (didn't work)
changed this app:showAsAction="never" to this android:showAsAction="never" (didn't work)
