Getting Build failed with an Exception Android Studio 0.4.3 and 0.4.4
First download latest Build Tools 19.0.0 and 19.0.1 using your Android SDK Manager.
Then do change buildToolsVersion "17.0.0" in to indside your build.gradle
file
buildToolsVersion "19.0.0"
Because as mentioned in release documents Gradle 1.10 and android plugin 0.8 requires buildTools 19.0.0+
Also make sure your root project level build.gradle
file has gradle plugin 0.8 as classpath like this
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.8.+'

This is my problem:
since I have updated Android Studio to .4.3 everytime I try to make a new project I get some Build failure, the thing happens with each and every new project, no code of my own there...
Let's take a look:
Android code:
package com.appgcm; import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity; import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar; import android.support.v4.app.Fragment; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.LayoutInflater; import android.view.Menu; import android.view.MenuItem; import android.view.View; import android.view.ViewGroup; import android.os.Build; public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); if (savedInstanceState == null) { getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction() .add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()) .commit(); } } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu); return true; } @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml. int id = item.getItemId(); if (id == R.id.action_settings) { return true; } return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); } /** * A placeholder fragment containing a simple view. */ public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment { public PlaceholderFragment() { } @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false); return rootView; } }
}
Build.gradle
apply plugin: 'android' android { compileSdkVersion 19 buildToolsVersion "17.0.0" defaultConfig { minSdkVersion 7 targetSdkVersion 19 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" } buildTypes { release { runProguard false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard rules.txt' } } } dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+' compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar', '*.aar']) }
Gradle console error:
Executing tasks: [:appgcm:generateDebugSources] Relying on packaging to define the extension of the main artifact has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 2.0 :appgcm:preBuild FAILED FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':appgcm:preBuild'. > Build Tools Revision 19.0.0+ is required. * Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. BUILD FAILED Total time: 3.265 secs
Ok, I think that is enough information to take something out, I'm still not really expert with gradle, so the detailed your explanations the better.
Thanks a lot!
EDIT:
I took advice from pyus13 and now i'm gatting another sort of error, here it is:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * Where: Build file 'C:\Users\pandolet\workspace\APPGCM\appgcm\build.gradle' line: 1 * What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating project ':appgcm'. > Plugin with id 'android' not found. * Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. BUILD FAILED Total time: 0.306 secs
Root level build.gradle:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules. buildscript { repositories { mavenCentral() } dependencies { 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.8.+' } } allprojects { repositories { mavenCentral() } }
