Thats a lot of info in your question. I am using Guava too. But I don't remember going through any of this trouble..

Guava is available on the mavencentral. So adding guava to your project should be fairly simple. AFAIK, you do not need to checkout, build and add a project dependency etc..

See gradle file for my app below.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'android'

repositories {
     mavenCentral()
}

// Dependencies
dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar') // jar files under the libs folder.
    compile 'com.actionbarsherlock:actionbarsherlock:4.4.0@aar' // actionbarsherlock,
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.0' // android support lib
    compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.4' // google GSON
    compile 'com.google.guava:guava:14.0.1' // guava 14.0.1
}
