Android classes not found during sonar analysis

Question

I trying to set a sonar analysis on an android project

The analysis is done with version 4.3 of sonarQube trough sonar-runner, android-plugin install, ANDROID_HOME env variable is set on /path/to/android/sdk, the build is done with ant without any problems

the execution run well but i have tons of error messages :

14:23:46.563 ERROR - Class not found: android.content.UriMatcher
14:23:46.563 ERROR - Class not found: android.net.Uri
14:23:46.563 ERROR - Class not found: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase
14:23:46.568 ERROR - Class not found: android.provider.BaseColumns

14:23:46.830 ERROR - Class not found: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase
14:23:46.830 ERROR - Class not found: android.content.Context
...

My sonar-project.propeties :

sonar.projectKey=Client-Project
sonar.projectName=Client-Project
sonar.projectVersion=2.0

sonar.sources=src
sonar.binaries=bin/classes
sonar.librairies=bin/dexedLibs,usr/local/android-sdk-linux

sonar.language=java
sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8

sonar.profile=Android Lint

How to set Sonar to find these android classes ?

To get rid of these errors, add android.jar location directly to sonar.libraries:

sonar.libraries=libs/*.jar,/usr/local/opt/android-sdk/platforms/android-18/android.jar

Two obvious drawbacks with this:

Directly pointing to local environment. SonarQube project configuration doesn't support environment variables yet (https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONARUNNER-76).
Directly pointing to a version of android platform; this is probably OK but needs to be manually kept in sync with your targetSdk

Building up on Mikko's answer, note that you don't really have to manually keep the setting in sync with your targetSdk. You can get it from gradle as in:

def androidJarPath;
afterEvaluate {
    def rootDir = project.rootDir
    def localProperties = new File(rootDir, "local.properties")
    if (localProperties.exists()) {
        Properties properties = new Properties()
        localProperties.withInputStream { instr ->
            properties.load(instr)
        }
        def sdkDir = properties.getProperty('sdk.dir')
        androidJarPath = sdkDir + "/platforms/" + android.compileSdkVersion + "/android.jar"
    }
}

sonarqube {
    properties {
        property "sonar.java.libraries", androidJarPath
        ...
    }
}

Cheers!

In addition to Mikko's answer, I needed to set these properties in order to get FindBugs running properly as well:

sonar.libraries=libs/*.jar,/usr/local/android/android-sdk-linux/platforms/android-25/android.jar
sonar.java.binaries=bin/classes
sonar.java.libraries=libs/*.jar,/usr/local/android/android-sdk-linux/platforms/android-25/android.jar
sonar.java.test.libraries=libs/*.jar,/usr/local/android/android-sdk-linux/platforms/android-25/android.jar
