Android Studio, NDK - Cannot Run Application - android-studio

I have managed to (finally) build a test SDL2 app with Android Studio & NDK using the Gradle experimental plugin.
When I try to run the project, it won't run. I get the following error:
:app:compileDebugSources
:app:transformClassesAndResourcesWithExtractJarsForDebug UP-TO-DATE
:app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug UP-TO-DATE
:app:processDebugJavaRes UP-TO-DATE
:app:transformResourcesWithMergeJavaResForDebug UP-TO-DATE
:app:validateDebugSigning
:app:packageDebug FAILED

* What went wrong:

* Try:

My project can be downloaded from here:
Can somebody please help me in getting this to run?
Here is the stack trace:

I found the problem myself. The project had previously included a libmain.so when the SDL source had been built as a library via ndk-build on the command line. There were 2 sections under android.sources - one called main.jni and another main.jniLibs. I removed main.jniLibs and now it starts to execute.

Gradle sync failed: Cause: error=2, No such file or directory

I am trying to get the latest revision number of mercurial repository dynamically and have it in the versionName of the android app.
This is what I have in the gradle file:
def buildNumber = "hg id -i -n -r tip".execute().text.trim()
Please note that when I try building the same in the terminal, I could successfully build using:
./gradlew assembleRelease
However, the android studio is unable to sync and couldn't build the app. I get the below error in the event log:
Gradle sync failed: Cause: error=2, No such file or directory
Consult IDE log for more details (Help | Show Log) (10s 806ms)
From the android studio log file (from Finder in MAC), I see this error:
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "hg": error=2, No such file or directory
Here is the complete log:

This solved the issue for me
1) Update to latest Android Studio(optional)
2) In the studio, File -> Project Structure -> take a note of the directory path for "Android NDK location" and open the folder on your machine. Now Step out into the /sdk/ folder and delete the "ndk-bundle" folder. This takes a bit of time because of all the files.
3) Back in Studio, open File -> Project Structure -> take a note of the directory path for "Android NDK location" again , and this time you shoul dbe seeing an error. Delete the "Android NDK location" path -> click OK
4) Rebuild the project, Invalidate caches and restart.You shouldn't see the error anymore.

First do File -> Invalidate Caches and later Restart. This solved the problem for me.

Started to happen when started using Android Studio Arctic Fox | 2020.3.1 Beta 2 for Apple Silicon.
Got rid of it by changing the Gradle version to 6.9-rc-1.
Goto File -> Project Structure -> Project -> Gradle Version -> Select 6.9-rc-1 Press OK.

In my case using Linux Mint, I had to install nodejs in sudo mode.
Android Studio runs the commands on the terminal as a super user, so I had nodejs installed on my user but not "root" (sudo).
To install, I followed this instructions:
https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md

The issue I had with this was that I'd messed up the path contained in my ~/.profile file.
I solved it by running export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH in my terminal to get back my ability to use vim. Then I just pasted the same command: export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH into my ~/.profile.
Invalidated the cache from Android Studio, and it worked like a charm.
I hope this helps someone!

In my case, macOS had removed one of the binaries in my NDK bundle. You can find them in your Trash. Actually I got a pop-up message on the screen which has been asking to Trash the binary since the developer is not verified. As for any other mac apps, you have to go to:
Apple menu  > System Preferences > Security & Privacy
Then from the General tab, click on Open Anyway.

Check if your gradle version low, then try change to a very higher version of gradle

Gradle compile error, where do I get detailed log

I upgraded some support libraries in android and everything went crazy, building the project returns 1 error, but there is no detail on what the error is besides there was an error, is there a way to see the detailed output, i'm running it with --stacktrace and --info

Android Studio - Manifest merging failed (system cannot find the path specified)

I have Android Studio 0.3.2 with one project on my laptop.
Now I need to move my work to desktop PC.
I tried to install same version of Android Studio, but i ended with compiling projects and error below.
Now I have clean install of Android Studio 0.5.2 on my desktop.
When I create a new project, the structure is created, but when I try to make project, same error appears.
I don't know what to do, I am not using any library in new project.

The # characters in the error message:
07:29:43.097 [ERROR] [org.gradle.api.Project] [AndroidManifest.xml] Failed to write XML file: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: D:\ (System cannot find the path specified)

seem to be suspicious -- it looks like it's cutting off a path at the # character. While # is a legal filename character in Windows (and every other OS to my knowledge), something in the tool chain must have a bug. If you rename your directory, it should work.
Be aware of the fact that there's a bug in Java that causes problems on Windows with non-ANSI characters; if your project is in a path with Non-Roman characters, you'll hit problems. This is documented in https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=56102

Grails installation

I am trying to install Grails from sources.
I started 3 days ago, and still have some problems.
Every attempt finishes with message:
:grails-bootstrap:compileGroovy
[ant:groovyc] >>> a serious error occurred: grails/util/BuildSettings
[ant:groovyc] >>> stacktrace:
[ant:groovyc] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: grails/util/BuildSettings

Execution failed for task ':grails-bootstrap:compileGroovy'.
> Forked groovyc returned error code: 1
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit
What I did:
Install java
java version "1.7.0-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-ea-b76)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0-b05, mixed mode)
Install groovy
Groovy Version: 2.0.0 JVM: 1.7.0-ea Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc. OS: Linux
Clone grails and checkout it to v2.1.0
Invoke sudo ./gradlew install
if I use --stacktrace --info --debug

What can I do better?

I think you might be using the wrong version of groovy -- I'm pretty sure it's 1.8.6.
