Gradle returns package does not exists [duplicate]

Answer 1

The accepted answer did not work for me, but this did:

• Download the GSON JAR file and copy it to your /libs/ folder inside your application project.

• Open the build.gradle file at the root level of your project and edit your dependencies to include the new .jar file:

  dependencies {
      compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
  }
  

• Build -> Rebuild Project

Optionally, you can specify one or more specific JAR files with files rather than fileTree, such as: compile files('libs/google-gson-1.7.1/gson-1.7.1.jar')

Answer 2

In my projects this happens sometimes in the :javadoc task. If you do not need the :javadoc task you can ignore it with:

./gradlew :install -x :javadoc

Answer 3

One solution that might be helpful is to try Syncing Project with Gradle Files

Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files
