Android Annotations / Gradle / Android Studio build issues

Question

I'm working on migrating a project to Android Studio/Gradle and I'm having some problems getting the project to build properly with Android Annotations. From the gradle console output it looks like the annotation processing is happening after compile? Is that right? Shouldn't it happen before? The strange thing is that if I hit run the "edit configuration" dialog appears with "Error: Default activity not found" at the bottom.

I have another project working with a very similar build.gradle file and it's running fine and I'm totally stumped on this one. Any help would be very appreciated!

Please note I've also tried various other methods including https://github.com/excilys/androidannotations/wiki/Building-Project-Gradle but there's no difference in the result.

My build.gradle in the project root:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.7.+'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

And build.gradle from my /android folder:

apply plugin: 'android'



ext.androidAnnotationsVersion = '2.7.1';

configurations {
    apt
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "19.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 9
        targetSdkVersion 19
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
        }
    }

    productFlavors {
        defaultFlavor {
            proguardFile 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }

    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'

        exclude 'LICENSE'
        exclude 'NOTICE'
    }
}

    compile "com.googlecode.androidannotations:androidannotations-api:${androidAnnotationsVersion}"

    compile "com.nostra13.universalimageloader:universal-image-loader:1.9.0"

    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
}


android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    aptOutput = file("${project.buildDir}/source/apt_generated/${variant.dirName}")
    println "****************************"
    println "variant: ${variant.name}"
    println "manifest:  ${variant.processResources.manifestFile}"
    println "aptOutput:  ${aptOutput}"
    println "****************************"

    variant.javaCompile.doFirst {
        println "*** compile doFirst ${variant.name}"
        aptOutput.mkdirs()
        variant.javaCompile.options.compilerArgs += [
                '-processorpath', configurations.apt.getAsPath(),
                '-AandroidManifestFile=' + variant.processResources.manifestFile,
                '-s', aptOutput
        ]
    }
}

Here's my gradle console output:

Answer 1

You didn't include the apt plugin in your global build.gradle, you didn't apply it in your module's build.gradle and you didn't configure it. As Android Annotations works with the Android Annotation Processor, it needs to know where the generated sources are. The correct setup would be:

The global build.gradle code snippet:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'
        // small Gradle plugin that helps out when using an annotation processor
        // --> Android Annotations
        // makes the build code "available" to android studio
        // adds it to the source path
        classpath "com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.4"
    } 
}

The module's one:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'android-apt'

configurations {
    apt
}

// Configure the annotation processor and tell it where the manifest and the generated sources are.
apt {
    arguments {
        androidManifestFile variant.outputs[0].processResources.manifestFile
        resourcePackageName "de.company.android.app"
    }
}

In addition to that you shouldn't use the googlecode-Version of Android Annotations but the following dependencies:

dependencies {
    apt 'org.androidannotations:androidannotations:3.2'
    compile 'org.androidannotations:androidannotations-api:3.2'
}

After that everything should work fine and the generated sources should be found. In the Android Manifest register the generated Activities like MainActivity_
