Getting Could not find property 'com' error

[razelsoco]

My build.gradle is already the same as the one in the repo.
How to solve this error?

Hi! Could you please provide more details?

[andruhon]

I'll try to build it myself with the latest android studio, to see how it goes.

hey,
thanks for your supprt. actually i figured it out. i changed my gradle version from 1.5.0 to 1.3.0
now, i have another error, adding '--core-library' does not seem to work for me..

i already added
project.tasks.withType(com.android.build.gradle.tasks.Dex) {
additionalParameters=['--core-library'] // --core-library option needed for now, will fix it soon
}

but still i got this:

i got rid of the error by changing android minSdk from 21 to 16

[andruhon]

That's wired.

[andruhon]

It is crashing on preDex for which it is impossible to use --core-library. However it doesn't do preDex if min sdk is 16. I don't have explanation for that. That's weird.

However this build will not really work on sdk 16(android 4) because ART is not enabled there by default.

[andruhon]

Created config which works more consistently with sane minSdk and android gradle 1.3.0
