I'm trying to create my first project in android studio, I'm on a mac, FYI. When I build settings.gradle, I get a failed build. Note: Please don't mark this as a duplicate, see below I have links to two other SO questions that didn't fix the problem.

My settings.gradle file contents: include ':app', but I've also tried include 'app' based on the advise here, with no difference in result.

The Gradle Console ends with BUILD SUCCESSFUL, but the debug window shows BUILD FAILED:

    Most likely, your project is not configured correctly as an Android gradle project. The relevant file is **build.gradle** in the 'root' directory ('kmckinley'). But the error shows that Android Studio was looking at '/Users/username/AndroidStudioProjects/myProject/'. Maybe you can explain where this discrepancy comes from. – Alex Cohn Jul 23 '16 at 18:06

    @AlexCohn, I guess you were essentially right. I ended up finding the Analyze->Inspect Code, which showed I was referencing a non-latest build (compilesdkversion was 23 instead of 24), I worked through everything that inspector suggested about updating the sdk version and rebuilt the project, then it worked. thanks. Write up an answer incorporating these things and I'll probably accept it. – Keith Jul 23 '16 at 18:32
  • error message "Task 'assembleRelease' not found in root project" means that the working directory is not set correctly. – Tarek El-Mallah Mar 15 '17 at 14:43

Use the Analyze->Inspect Code menu to show code inspection issues. In this case, the problem was that the build.gradle file was referencing a different compilesdkversion than other places in the project.

Analyze->Inspect Code is very useful, use it!

It looked like the Android studio had bad settings of current project. In my case it looked like it had setting from othre project. The dependencies of project properties (Ctr+Shift+S) was diffrent from dependecies in build.gradle file. (Analyse showed me nothing wrong and from console it worked). I just:

  1. closed the project
  2. removed the .gradle, .idea and build directory
  3. and opened project again.

After that, it builds project without problem.
