Error:Configuration with name 'default' not found in Android Studio

Question

I cloned the repo from Git Hub, and did all the stepts mentioned without any errors.

Next i started a new project and added libraries under my app as mentioned in https://coderwall.com/p/eurvaq/tesseract-with-andoird-and-gradle.

When i add build.gradle to tess-two directory i get an error after the sync is completed

Error:Configuration with name 'default' not found.

I tried a lot to resolve but wasn't able to fix it. Need your help guys to figure out the error.

build.gradle file under tess-two

    buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 23
    }

    sourceSets.main {
        manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
        java.srcDirs = ['src']
        resources.srcDirs = ['src']
        res.srcDirs = ['res']
        jniLibs.srcDirs = ['libs']
    }
}

settings.gradle of app

include ':app'
include 'app:libraries'
include 'app:libraries:tess-two'

Answer 1

Your issue is here:

include ':app'
include 'app:libraries' //REMOVE THIS LINE!
include 'app:libraries:tess-two'

Since you are defining include 'app:libraries', Gradle is expecting a build.gradle file inside the app/libraries folder.

Configuration with name 'default happens because gradle doesn't find this file, or if inside the build.gradle file Gradle doesn't find the default configuration.
