Android: ExternalSystemException: String index out of range: -130 building release

Question

So, just updated to Android Studio 1.4 Beta 4 and having trouble building a release build. I can build a debug build fine. This is the error I get:

ExternalSystemException: String index out of range: -130 

Upon further inspection, I see this:

String index out of range: -130 com.intellij.openapi.externalSystem.model.ExternalSystemException: String index out of range: -130 at org.jetbrains.plugins.gradle.service.project.GradleExecutionHelper.execute(GradleExecutionHelper.java:223) at com.android.tools.idea.gradle.invoker.GradleTasksExecutor.invokeGradleTasks(GradleTasksExecutor.java:400) at com.android.tools.idea.gradle.invoker.GradleTasksExecutor.run(GradleTasksExecutor.java:221) at com.intellij.openapi.progress.impl.CoreProgressManager$TaskRunnable.run(CoreProgressManager.java:563) at com.intellij.openapi.progress.impl.CoreProgressManager$2.run(CoreProgressManager.java:152) at com.intellij.openapi.progress.impl.CoreProgressManager.registerIndicatorAndRun(CoreProgressManager.java:452) at com.intellij.openapi.progress.impl.CoreProgressManager.executeProcessUnderProgress(CoreProgressManager.java:402) at com.intellij.openapi.progress.impl.ProgressManagerImpl.executeProcessUnderProgress(ProgressManagerImpl.java:54) at com.intellij.openapi.progress.impl.CoreProgressManager.runProcess(CoreProgressManager.java:137) at com.intellij.openapi.progress.impl.ProgressManagerImpl$1.run(ProgressManagerImpl.java:126) at com.intellij.openapi.application.impl.ApplicationImpl$8.run(ApplicationImpl.java:400) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:471) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:262) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) at org.jetbrains.ide.PooledThreadExecutor$1$1.run(PooledThreadExecutor.java:56) 

Any ideas? I've tried with Gradle 2.3 - 2.7 and always get this error building a release build.

build.gradle from main module:

Answer 1

If you're using Android Studio, selecting the Gradle Console will show you where the problem lies. In my case, it was duplicate textView identifiers that caused this error.

Answer 2

Worked By adding this in build.gradle

 lintOptions {         checkReleaseBuilds false     }
