Android - Copy build output to another folder with Gradle

I am trying to build my React Native Android app on Visual Studio App Center and I get this error:

It's incorrectly looking for my APK in the app/app/build/... instead of app/build/...So I want to copy the files to app/app/build/.. so it finds them there.
I can't copy the files with a post-build script because it runs after the script that throws the error.
Is it possible to somehow achieve copying with Gradle? Or maybe have multiple build paths? Or some other solution?

The problem was that I had gradlew, gradlew.bat and gradle folder in my appmodule folder. I must have mistakenly opened the app folder alone in Android Studio and synced the project.
I solved it by creating a fresh React Native project.

QtCreator can't even build empty project - The following error occurred while executing this line

I get some very unhelpful errors from Qt creator, which I have just installed using tutorial on Qt website.

I don't really get what does it mean. This is my configuration:
I also tried selecting Use Gradle instead of Ant. it didn't affect anything. What expecially freaks me out is the awkward error: The following error occurred while executing this line: without mentioning any actual error.

Here is how to fix it:
Go to Start->Control Panel->System->Advanced(tab)->Environment Variables->System Variables->New:
Variable name: _JAVA_OPTIONS
Variable value: -Xmx512M
Variable name: Path
Variable value: ;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin;F:\JDK\bin;
Change this to your appropriate path.

The problem related with memory. You must have enough RAM on system. If not then please add large swap. This would allow dx to complete build and not die in middle. I was facing this issue on small VPS node. Now its fixed.

How to execute an Meteor+Cordova tutorial (like SoLoMo) on my Samsung Galaxy S3

My goal is to develop an android app, which has a survey like functionality. So I experiment with Meteor and Cordova (also to learn the frameworks).
My substep: Running one of the tutorials on my Android device: Samsung Galaxy S3 fails.
That's how I start the app, while being in the directory /var/www/node_development/tutorials/solomo:
meteor run android-device -p 192.168.178.21:3000 --verbose
Here are the last lines from the --verbose log:

Could not start the app on your device. Is it plugged in?
Try running again with the --verbose option.
Instructions for running your app on an Android device:
https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/How-to-run-your-app-on-an-Android-device
Before running meteor adb devices lists:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
506c09aa device
After running meteor adb devices tells me:
ADB server didn't ACK

I already changed the adb timeout rate to 12000ms.
My device is set up for development.
How can I run an android app with meteor cordova?

I solved the problem by setting the ANDROID_HOME environment variable on my ubuntu system.
Make sure to adjust the path corrosponding to your machine's setup.
export ANDROID_HOME=/home/your-name/your/path/here/Android/android-sdk-linux_x86
Do not point the variable to the platform-tools folder.

android ant uibuild.xml:198: null returned: 1

I am new to ant and Android uiautomator. When using ant to build my testing program I get:
-dex:

My problem is similar to Android ant build project failure which didn't seem to have an answer (or at least one that I could descern from the responses.
I can't post an image (not enough mojo yet) but my test project is set up as:
AllAppsTest
src
com.uia.example.my
LaunchSettings.java
JRE System Library[JavaSE-1.6] (there are number of jar files here but I am not
listing them here)
Referenced Libraries
android.jar
uiautomator.jar
JUnit 4
I executed the following:
c:\Eclipse\workspace\Android>android create uitest-project -n AllAppsTest -t 7 -
p C:\Eclipse\workspace\Android\
Updated file C:\Eclipse\workspace\Android\build.xml
c:\Eclipse\workspace\Android>ant build
Buildfile: c:\Eclipse\workspace\Android\build.xml
Which resulted in the 'ant build' error output at the top of this post.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Eric

Not sure this is kosher answering my own question but...
I believe there is an error in the documentation (or the create step) for executing the build.xml file. The build.xml must be copied to the project directory, in my case AllAppsTest, and the 'ant build' command executed from there.
So the sequence of events to get this to work (in Windows command window):
Run the 'android create' command
c:\Eclipse\workspace\Android>android create uitest-project -n AllAppsTest -t 7 -
p C:\Eclipse\workspace\Android\
Switch to the AllAppsTest directory
cd AllAppsTest
Copy the build.xml file from the parent directory
copy ../build.xml
(which for some reason copies local.properties and project.properties also)
Run the 'ant build' command
When I first tried this the build failed as it didn't like the single and double quotes I had that were on comment lines. Not sure why that was but I removed them and the ant build worked OK.

I have Windows 7, 64bit. Not sure is it important. Any idea what is going on, why can not I build it any more? It was working before I update Android SDK with android manager.
Thank you so much in advance!
Added on 23/02/2014, project and sdk paths are different now, because I have reinstalled sdk, and created fresh projects, but error is the same.

I have too a laptop with Windows 7 64 bits and I solved this problem doing the following
Download the last version of ANT from http://ant.apache.org/
Unzip and put the files in the correct place in the disk
Copy the absolute direction where is the bin folder of the ANT in the Windows PATH variable.
I.E. in my case. D:\apache-ant-1.9.4\bin
In the CMD check if the ant -version is working. This should display the version of the ANT downloaded ( If is not working check the PATH variable again, before do the next step )
In the CMD go to the cordova project folder and run again the cordova build android. If the previous step is working you should build without problem your project. If your project is an Ionic project you should run here ionic build android and the result should be the same.
I hope this help.
Regards!

Try to get latest version of android platform.
cordova platform update android
It's worked for me

try ant -v in your terminal and make sure it's above 1.8. Cordova requires that. Also check path is given correct for Ant, Android-SDK/tools, and Android-SDK/platformtools
To debug exact issue try $Cordova build android --verbose

Problem was in enviroment variable path, ANDROID_HOME was pointing to : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk", I have just added a PROGRAM_FILES_86 to point to : C:\Program Files (x86) and set again ANDROID_HOME path again with PROGRAM_FILES_86 variable. That has solved the issue.
