gradle, Could not expand ZIP appcompat-v7:19.0.1

Question

I have a problem with Android Studio and Gradle to import appcompat-v7.

So here is my src/build.gradle:

apply plugin: \'andro         


        

Answer 1

Just wanted to add my experience. I was getting this error for a kafka jar

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not expand ZIP '/home/srangwal/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/org.apache.kafka/kafka_2.9.2/0.8.2.0/f9e44ac2d80afee7d5696f11814e6a65af5a380a/kafka_2.9.2-0.8.2.0.jar'.

To debug, I tried to touch the file that gradle was trying to create, since permissions of all my directories were fine

touch '/home/srangwal/work-projects/griffin/build/tmp/expandedArchives/kafka_2.9.2-0.8.2.0.jar_7e6mtfrbv2j9f9v18u5gsfe9q/kafka/consumer/ZookeeperConsumerConnector$ZKRebalancerListener$$anonfun$kafka$consumer$ZookeeperConsumerConnector$ZKRebalancerListener$$addPartitionTopicInfo$1.class'
touch: cannot touch ‘/home/srangwal/work-projects/griffin/build/tmp/expandedArchives/kafka_2.9.2-0.8.2.0.jar_7e6mtfrbv2j9f9v18u5gsfe9q/kafka/consumer/ZookeeperConsumerConnector$ZKRebalancerListener$$anonfun$kafka$consumer$ZookeeperConsumerConnector$ZKRebalancerListener$$addPartitionTopicInfo$1.class’: File name too long

I was getting this error because I was working on an encrypted filesystem in ubuntu and the encrypted filesystem did not allow very long filenames.
