I am currently attempting to switch my project over to using gradle builds. While using the old build system I linked to the private/internal/hidden android API's by compiling the source and linking the classes.jar files before the Android libraries. I am currently trying to do the same thing in gradle with no luck at all.
With my current build.gradle file I receive the following error:
Gradle: A problem occurred evaluating project ':Launcher2'.
> Could not find method external() for arguments [file collection] on project ':Launcher2'.
If I remove these lines before "apply plugin: android"
dependencies {
compile files('libraries/classes.jar')
}
I receive errors about missing com.android.internal and com.android.common packages which are located in my classes.jar file.
Here's my build.gradle file.
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.6'
}
}
dependencies {
compile files('libraries/classes.jar')
}
plugin: 'android'
android {
buildToolsVersion "17.0"
compileSdkVersion 10
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libraries', include: '*.jar')
compile project(':ActiveAndroid')
}
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
resources.srcDirs = ['src']
aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
}
}
}
Edit: After reading the gradle documentation a bit more I was able to successfully link the libraries into the project but the order of dependencies is wrong. The equivalent to what I am trying to do is adding both .jar files to the top of the classpath so that they are declared before the android SDK jar files.
I was digging through the source for the android gradle plugin, it seems that this may not be possible. The code seems incomplete and will not build. If anyone has any insight I would really appreciate it. Otherwise it looks like I will have to switch back to using Ant for now.

I'm trying to import an Android project build on Eclipse into my Android Studio IDE. I'm following the steps to import properly the project with a build.gradle file but when I'm trying to compile, I get this weird error: Plugin with id 'android' not found. I have this version of Android Studio: Android Studio (Preview) 0.4.3. Here is my build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'android'
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
compile project(':workspace:DesignDialogLibrary')
compile project(':workspace:HoloColorPickerLib')
compile project(':workspace:MbAdBleamSdkReaderLibrary')
compile project(':workspace:ViewPagerLibrary')
compile project(':workspace:PullToRefreshLibrary')
compile project(':workspace:SlidingMenuLib')
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 17
buildToolsVersion "18.0.1"
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
resources.srcDirs = ['src']
aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
}
instrumentTest.setRoot('tests')
debug.setRoot('build-types/debug')
release.setRoot('build-types/release')
}
}
You're missing this block in your build.gradle file:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.8.+'
}
}
This block tells Gradle where to find the "android" plugin that you're missing.
It's standard in projects created in newer versions of Android Studio to put this in the build.gradle that's in your project's root directory and omit it from the one that's in your module's directory, so look there and see if looks like it's in order.
If you don't have that root-level build.gradle file and you've only got one directory and one build file, then add this block to that file. Be aware, however, that Android Studio currently has a few bugs that prevent the Project Structure dialog from working properly with projects in this single-module format, though I believe they'll otherwise build and run fine.
I'm trying from yesterday to configure gradle to build Android project. I've got same error since then:
Failed to notify project evaluation listener.
Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':_DebugCompile'.
Could not find any version that matches com.android.support:support-v4:13.0.+.
The official fix on many sites is to install Android Support Repository. I have it installed already, but problem still occurs. I've run out of ideas what can be wrong here...
Here is full code:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:13.0.+'
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 17
buildToolsVersion "17.0.0"
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
resources.srcDirs = ['src']
aild.srcDirs = ['src']
renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
}
instrumentTest.setRoot('tests')
}
}
See http://tools.android.com/knownissues section Bundled Maven Repository
To fix this, open the SDK manager, and make sure that the "Android
Support Repository" (not just Android Support Library) is installed:
You need an additional block at the top level after your apply plugin line:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
In general, you need a repositories block at the same level as any dependencies block (hence why you also need one in the buildscript block).
Most of the time, you'd move your buildscript block to the top level build.gradle (so that all your modules use the same gradle build) rather than have them both at the module level.
com.android.support:support-v4:13.0.+ - this dependency isn't in Maven Central.

I got the same error when trying to build the Android samples. My problem appeared because the ANDROID_HOME was not set correctly.
Gradle noobie, a little confused. I'm trying to tell gradle to use a different build script, from the command-line, but whenever I do so, it tells me it can't find my dependencies.
Whenever I call:
gradle -b build.gradle
It works fined.
But when I call:
gradle -b other.gradle
It pukes trying to find my dependencies. e.g.
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project '<main_app>'.
> Project with path ':facebook-android-sdk-3.0.1:facebook' could not be found in root project '<main_app>'.
I'm using the exact same build script in the exact same directory, just named differently. Here it is:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4.2'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
dependencies {
compile project(':facebook-android-sdk-3.0.1:facebook')
}
android {
buildToolsVersion "17.0"
compileSdkVersion 17
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
resources.srcDirs = ['src']
aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
}
}
}
My settings.gradle file:
include '<app_module>'
include '<:facebook-android-sdk-3.0.1:facebook>'
-b only works for single-project builds. In multi-project builds, settings.gradle determines which build scripts constitute the build, which project they belong to, and where they are located.
I'm trying to switch from eclipse to android studio for my android development.
However, I still haven't found the right way to import my existing project.
I don't know if it is important: but I'm using a mac
I did the export step in eclipse, imported this gradle build in Android Studio, but when I try to build my project, it gives me this error:
Gradle:
FAILURE: Could not determine which tasks to execute.
* What went wrong:
Task 'assembleDebug' not found in project ':ProjectName'.
* Try:
Run gradle tasks to get a list of available tasks.
Could not execute build using Gradle installation '/Users/<username>/Development/Build/gradle-1.6'.
This is the build.gradle file that eclipse gave me:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
dependencies {
compile project(':ProjectName:library:ActionBarSherlock')
compile project(':ProjectName:library:facebook')
compile files('../../../../../../../ProjectName/libs/gcm.jar')
compile files('../../../../../../../ProjectName/libs/libGoogleAnalyticsV2.jar')
compile files('../../../../../../../ProjectName/libs/commons-lang3-3.1.jar')
compile files('../../../../../../../ProjectName/libs/actionbarsherlock-plugin-maps-4.2.0.jar')
compile files('../../../../../../../NiteOwl/libs/volley.jar')
compile project(':ProjectName:library:PullToRefresh')
compile project(':ProjectName:library:google-play-services_lib')
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 17
buildToolsVersion "17"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 8
targetSdkVersion 17
}
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
resources.srcDirs = ['src']
aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
}
instrumentTest.setRoot('tests')
}
}
I've seen a lot of possible solutions, but none of them worked for me, any idea what I'm doing wrong?
The path to the project has no spaces in it
jar libraries => ProjectName/libs
android libraries => ProjectName/library
all of this was working in eclipse
We recently moved our project to gradle as well. We ran into issues due to the library projects.
To solve it we added a settings.gradle file in the root of your project with
include ':libs:actionbarsherlock'
include ':yourprojectname'
Add all your library projects from eclipse into the settings.gradle
We also made a build.gradle file for each of the library Projects.
AFAIK the export from eclipse doesn't deal well with library projects.
In the build.gradle at the root of your project (the one that's probably mostly empty), add the following line:
task assemble{}

I've had this error appear when I had a stray empty flavors stanza in my build.gradle:
productFlavors {
}
I'm using new Android studio, based on IDEA, and trying to build project with ABS library in dependencies for the main module.
And I'm getting errors:
Gradle: package com.actionbarsherlock.app does not exist
Gradle: cannot find symbol class SherlockActivity
Gradle: package com.actionbarsherlock.view does not exist
Gradle: cannot find symbol variable super
Gradle: cannot find symbol method setContentView(int)
....
Why and how to fix it?
I used build ok.
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android-library'
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:13.0.0'
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 17
buildToolsVersion "17"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 7
targetSdkVersion 17
}
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
resources.srcDirs = ['src']
aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
}
instrumentTest.setRoot('tests')
}
}
I was putting this as a comment because I wasn't sure if its your exact issue but it looks like abs isn't added as a module correctly. So I added as an answer
Try download abs fresh, extract it then in Android Studio - file > import module... and import the actionbarsherlock directory. After this however I had a error relating to junit so check the last steps in below post
Follow the steps here: Problems importing project into Android Studio regarding ActionBarSherlock
That post isn't your exact issue but the steps got abs working for me. so try that within your existing project
I did the import module, but i still had to add ActionBarSherlock as a dependency and then that got it working.
(actually i had the toplevel exception for mismatched support libs too, but then i got it working)
