Android Studio not deploying to phone for debug with local path does't exist error

I've been trying to port an eclipse project over to android studio with little luck. The project includes action bar sherlock and a couple of other dependencies.

At the moment if I compile, make or rebuild my project everything goes smoothly - but if I attempt to run my project I just get an error saying "Local path doesn't exist." - which is referring to the location my apk file should be - if I go to that location, the whole apk directory doesnt exist.

Any ideas

Matt Whetton's answer helped me find my solution so I up-voted that too. In my case, running from the command line said it could not find the SDK path because I didn't have a local.properties file. I added in the local.properties file with the appropriate "sdk.dir" variable set, and now it works.

What I actually did was create a new project in Android Studio and then copied the local.properties file it automatically created to make certain it matched.

I hope this helps someone who has the same problem.

Ok, it seems that whilst the ide wasn't giving me any error messages, if I ran 

gradlew packageDebug

in the project root it gave me some errors relating to android-support-v4

After resolving these errors it then produced the apk and therefore allowed deployment to the phone
