"Generate signed apk" option disabled in Android Studio

Question

There are a few other people that asked the same question but none of them helped me..

I downloaded the Dendroid apk source code from github, and as the title sais, the generate signed apk option is disabled.. What could be causing this?

Answer 1

Have you tried checking your project structure has an Android facet? Look under

File > Project Structure > Project Settings > Facets

This was missing for my project and prevented it from building.
