Question

I am trying to get the latest revision number of mercurial repository dynamically and have it in the versionName of the android app.

This is what I have in the grad

Answer 1

The issue I had with this was that I'd messed up the path contained in my ~/.profile file.

I solved it by running export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH in my terminal to get back my ability to use vim. Then I just pasted the same command: export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH into my ~/.profile.

Invalidated the cache from Android Studio, and it worked like a charm.

I hope this helps someone!

This solved the issue for me

1) Update to latest Android Studio(optional)

2) In the studio, File -> Project Structure -> take a note of the directory path for "Android NDK location" and open the folder on your machine. Now Step out into the /sdk/ folder and delete the "ndk-bundle" folder. This takes a bit of time because of all the files.

3) Back in Studio, open File -> Project Structure -> take a note of the directory path for "Android NDK location" again , and this time you shoul dbe seeing an error. Delete the "Android NDK location" path -> click OK

4) Rebuild the project, Invalidate caches and restart.You shouldn't see the error anymore.

In my case using Linux Mint, I had to install nodejs in sudo mode.

Android Studio runs the commands on the terminal as a super user, so I had nodejs installed on my user but not "root" (sudo).

To install, I followed this instructions: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md

In my case, macOS had removed one of the binaries in my NDK bundle. You can find them in your Trash. Actually I got a pop-up message on the screen which has been asking to Trash the binary since the developer is not verified. As for any other mac apps, you have to go to:

Apple menu  > System Preferences > Security & Privacy

Then from the General tab, click on Open Anyway.
