Cannot determine build data storage root for project error IntelliJ Android

Question

I am trying to build an android application I coded, and I get the following error:

Error:build: Cannot determine build data storage root for project /Users/Flo/Programming/Android/workspace/<ProjectName>

I have marked src and gen as source folders, and res as resource folder.

Any help? Thanks!

Answer 1

I deleted the .idea folder and the .iml file then i reimported the project in Intellij and it worked for me.

You should build a project(just as the workspace in Eclipse) first, it will generate a .idea directory. And then build a module(as the project in Eclipse) under that project. Finally, you can run your app successfully.
