Gradle build system and Android Studio

[Henning Weiss]

Hi all,

the new build system should now work without a hitch with Android Studio or from command line. I updated the HACKING.md file to reflect that. If you had problems building mobileorg I would encourage you to try again with a new clone. Remember to update Android Studio and the Android SDK tools to their newest versions and install Android SDK 19.0.1.

happy hacking,

Henning

Hi,

Android Studio 0.5.8 complains about the gradle configuration stating the project is using an unsupported version of the gradle plugin (0.7.3)

### start dump
Error:The project is using an unsupported version of the Android Gradle plug-in (0.7.3).

Version 0.9.0 introduced incompatible changes in the build language.
Please read the migration guide to learn how to update your project.
<a href="fixGradleElements">Open migration guide, fix plug-in version and re-import project</a>
### end dump

If i change the dependency to

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.9.0'
    }

it complains about the wrong gradle version.

Do i have to replace the gradle wrapper with a newer version to fix this, or is there another way?

Thanks,

Sebastian

Now whenever I try to open the project I get

"Gradle 'MobileOrg' project refresh failed"
"Error:The project is using an unsupported version of Gradle."

It seems that the current Android Studio Gradle plugin requires a minimum version of Gradle 1.0.0 and some breaking changes have been introduced in the newer Gradle versions, for example the APIpackageNameSuffix() is gone and replaced by applicationIdSuffix(). Seehttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/29254107/gradle-dsl-method-not-found-packagenamesuffix Maybe at least we should update the Gradle and maybe also the target Android API etc. But anyways the project seems to be long out of maintenance...
