Gradle build failing due to androidannotations plugin

I am integrating andoirdannotations into a gradle build process into a generic android project. When I attempt to build the project with the addition of apply plugin: 'androidannotations I get the following failure:

$ gradle clean

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Main Manifest missing from /tmp/RunTest/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Note(1): I want to maintain the generic android project structure. Note(2): I have successfully build/cleaned this project without the androidannotations plugin

build.gradle file:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
  }

  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.3'
    classpath 'net.ealden.gradle.plugins:gradle-androidannotations-plugin:0.3.0'
  }
}
apply plugin: 'android'
apply plugin: 'androidannotations'


repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}


android {
    def target = 'android-21'
    def androidAnnotationsVersion = '2.7.1'
    sourceSets {
        main {
            manifest {
                srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
            }
            java {
                srcDir 'src'
            }
            res {
                srcDir 'res'
            }
            assets {
                srcDir 'assets'
            }
            resources {
                srcDir 'src'
            }
        }
        test {
            java {
                srcDir 'tests/src'
            }
        }
    }
}

So, I've bailed out on trying to maintain the generic android project structure and forced the project directory structure into the structure noted here: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/using-the-new-build-system.

As expected this resolved my Main Manifest missing from /tmp/RunTest/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml however I am still getting no joy.

Now I am getting:

MyBox:RunTest $ gradle clean
Download http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/ealden/gradle/plugins/gradle-androidannotations-plugin/0.3.0/gradle-androidannotations-plugin-0.3.0.pom
Download http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/gradle/api/plugins/gradle-android-plugin/1.1.0/gradle-android-plugin-1.1.0.pom
Download http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/ealden/gradle/plugins/gradle-androidannotations-plugin/0.3.0/gradle-androidannotations-plugin-0.3.0.jar
Download http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/gradle/api/plugins/gradle-android-plugin/1.1.0/gradle-android-plugin-1.1.0.jar

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Cannot add task ':processTestResources' as a task with that name already exists.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

To integrate Android Annotations into your project add the following to your project's build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        // other classpathes like gradle here, in my case
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'

        // APT Dependency for annotation processing
        classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.4'
    }
}

Then apply not androidannotation as plugin but 'android-apt' in your module's build.gradle

// apply apt plugin from global gradle file
apply plugin: 'android-apt'

and also add the following to the build file:

// Tell apt where to find sources
apt {
    arguments {
        androidManifestFile variant.outputs[0].processResources.manifestFile

        // adjust the path to your module here
        resourcePackageName 'de.company.app'
    }
}

dependencies {
    // Android Anotations for clean and readable code
    apt "org.androidannotations:androidannotations:3.2"
    compile 'org.androidannotations:androidannotations-api:3.2'
}

Then you should be able to use Android Annotations in your project. To keep an eclipse based project structure you can adjust the folders as you already did:

android {
    sourceSets {
        main {
            manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
            java.srcDirs = ['src']
            resources.srcDirs = ['src']
            renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
            res.srcDirs = ['res']
            assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
        }
    }
}

As an example you can look at the build.gradle file from

https://github.com/ealden/android-annotations-idea-test/blob/master/build.gradle

  1. you are using wrong gradle android plugin (com.google.tools plugin developed by Google)
  2. androidannotations plugin uses com.jvoegele.gradle.plugins.android plugin and you don't have to add it to build.gradle as androidannotations plugin will fetch it itself.
  3. Use ADT 21 or earlier as gradle-android-plugin cannot understand version which is not integer number (1.2.2-SNAPSHOT can)

Looks like the androidannotations plugin applies the full Java gradle plugin that creates a processTestResources task which collides with the task we are trying to create.

It's unfortunate that we used the same name, but really you do not want to apply the full Java plugin to a project using the android plugin. The android plugin only applies the base Java plugin (which provides the ability to create Java compilation tasks but does not create the default ones created by the full Java plugin).

To be honest, our plugin does things very very differently from the regular Java and plugins that are meant to extend Java projects won't work on android projects (yet).

The first error you got looks like an issue we've had (but are having trouble reproducing) where some exception got thrown but Gradle ignored it, skipped evaluating the rest of the DSL, and kept going to trying to build. Since the sourceSets remapping was skipped, it's looking in the wrong place for the Manifest.
