I\'m new to android studio and had somebody write an app I made which was originally used in app inventor. I followed his template and added new things. The app has a problem wi

Answer 1

I have faced the problem too. The android plugin is 1.2.3. It appears when running one module task in the module directory like this way, ../graldew :module:xxx.

I eventually notice plugin 1.2.3 cannot get right context and android plugin 1.5 works well. So It will work to give it right gradle file.

../gradlew -b ../build.gradle  -c ../settings.gradle  :module:xxx

This is the situation for me. You can just regard it as a reference.

When I updated my Android Studio to the latest, I got the same problem. Here is how I solved it.

First: Add the following code to the top of your build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'
    }
} 

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

Second: Find the gradle-wrapper.properties. Change the last sentence to this:

distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip

Hope this works for you.
