Android Studio local path doesn't exist

Question

I imported my Eclipse project into Android using Gradle. At first I had problems with R.java but I resolved them by adding \'gen\' folder as sources in Project Settings.

You need to run the assemble task before you can export any apk file.

From the right hand side, open the gradle task

To export debug apk file:

1. Open Build Variants form the left bottom corner. Select Build variant as "debug".
2. Open Gradle tasks from right hand side. Run assembleDebug
3. Generate the apk file using Build > Generate signed apk file. Note that though the option says "signed" apk it will generate a debug apk as the build variant selected is debug

To export release apk file:

1. Open Build Variants form the left bottom corner. Select Build variant as "release".
2. Open Gradle tasks from right hand side. Run assembleRelease
3. Generate the apk file using Build > Generate signed apk file. Note that signed apk will not generate a signed apk if you have build variant selected as debug. Make sure that the build variant is selected as release
