Android Studio 2.2 preview1 errors

Question

So i\'m trying to use Android Studio 2.2 preview-1 in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

I\'m using gradle-2.10 and gradle-plugin 2.2.0-alpha1 along

Answer 1

This issue is fixed in Android Studio 2.2 preview 2 (download from this page).

Disabled a couple of Groovy inspections that reported incorrect errors in build.gradle files

From the changelog.

Answer 2

It Looks like a problem of version 2.10 of the wrapper version on gradle.

After reading around people's workaround like

• "invalidate cache and restart"
• delete .gradle file in the project and re-open it
• etc etc

I just try for fun to install a standalone version of gradle since I'd always used only the wrapper version that cames with android studio.

And with it there is any error and any warning.

For anyone who wanna try (I'm a mac's user):

• install gradle (by homebrew is fine and pretty easy) brew install gradle
• tell to AS to use that one instead the wrapper version preference -> build, Execution, Deveployment -> Gradle -> use local gradle distribution

if you install it by homebrew like me the correct path will be: /usr/local/Cellar/gradle/x.yy/libexec where x.yy it suppose to be 2.11 (that is the last version provide by brew even if the lastest version released is 2.13)

I've realised just now that the steps above doens't fix the definitly. Each time you re-open the project the problem came again and again. It's annoying but changing betwen use of "wrapper"/"regular gradle" take the warning away. But this means also that isn't a problem o the gradle as I'd assumed at the beginning.

...let's wait a permanent fix ^^

Answer 3

The only fix that I found for this is, every time I open a project, I go to Settings>Build, Execution, Deployment>Gradle, change to "use local gradle distribution", click apply then click "use default gradle wrapper" and ok.

This should fix, but its quite annoying to do this everytime.
