Android Studio update 0.5.3 - platform 'android-19' not found

Question

Yesterday I opened Android Studio and it asked me to be updated. I now have v0.5.3, SDK 19 fully installed and gradle 0.9.+. I think this information is correct but I'm not fully aware how the gradle strategy works.

The problem is that my gradle apps stopped syncing and even when I create a brand new project it does not sync. Here are the details:

Project's build.gradle:

// 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:0.9.+'     } }  allprojects {     repositories {         mavenCentral()     } } 

App's build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'android'  android {     compileSdkVersion 19     buildToolsVersion "19.0.3"      defaultConfig {         minSdkVersion 8         targetSdkVersion 19         versionCode 1         versionName "1.0"     }     buildTypes {         release {             runProguard false             proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'         }     } }  dependencies {     compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.+'     compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) } 

In SDK Manager I have all the builds installed including 19.+.

The error I get when syncing:

Failed to set up SDK Error:Module 'app': platform 'android-19' not found. Information:Double-click here to open Android SDK Manager and install all missing platforms. 

I know that if I change

compileSdkVersion 19

to

compileSdkVersion 18

in the app's build.gradle it works... but I don't think that's the solution.

Thanks!

Answer 1

I had the same problem.

Deleting ~/.AndroidStudioPreview (on Debian GNU/Linux 'sid') fixed the problem. This directory was from an older version of AS (0.3.x). I don't know what the equivalent of the GNU/Linux ~/.AndroidStudioPreview is on Windows/Mac OS X/... (for Windows it's under C:\Users\<user>\.AndroidStudioPreview\).

Deleting the following fixed my problem -

~/Library/Caches/AndroidStudioPreview

~/Library/Logs/AndroidStudioPreview

~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudioPreview
