What's the difference between buildtoolsVersion vs compileSdkVersion in the build.gradle for an Android project? EDIT: Specifically, I'd like clarification on what the build tool is? compileSdkVersion is the API version of Android that you compile against. buildToolsVersion is the version of the compilers (aapt, dx, renderscript compiler, etc...) that you want to use. For each API level (starting with 18), there is a matching .0.0 version. At IO 2014, we release API 20 and build-tools 20.0.0 to go with it. Between Android releases we will release updates of the compilers, and so we'll release

The new Android gradle plugin (0.7) seems to include new support for the NDK, but in the documentation there is little to no mention of it (the only reference I found is a test called ndkSanAngeles ). It looks like gradle is looking for the NDK, which I have included in my PATH. However, building the project fails with What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':OGLTests:compileDefaultFlavorDebugNdk'. NDK not configured How can I configure the NDK in gradle? My current build.gradle looks like this: task nativeLibsToJar(type: Zip, description: 'create a jar with native libs') { destinationDir

The last time I used Android Studio, it generated .gradle files with mavencentral() buildscript repositories whereas now there's jcenter() . Could anyone explain the issues connected with this. Are there any other repos? When should we switch them? What impact do they have on projects, modules, libs? Any other essentials for Android developers? Who's responsible for maintaining those repos? At Bintray I just rebloged a very detailed blog post describing the reasons why Google made this change. Here are the most important points: JCenter is a Java repository in Bintray , which is the largest

I'm trying to do a 'release' build on an Android app and I keep on getting this error of: Unable to compute hash of /../AndroidStudioProjects/../classes.jar And then when I look into that directory for 'classes.jar' the file isn't there. Do I have to create this file myself with a gradle task? There's something going on with proguard here but it's not giving much useful information other than 'Unable to compute hash...." Here's my gradle.build file: apply plugin: 'com.android.application' apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' android { compileSdkVersion 22 buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"

I'm making a new Android project, with the standard 'app' module, as well as a library project (let's call it 'custom_lib' ).
