SDK Location not found although ANDROID_HOME is set

I am trying to build an Android app using Gradle on Ubuntu 18.04. Android Studio is not installed o the machine (I use Eclipse for development but maintain a gradle toolchain).

The toolchain has worked on a different machine running Ubuntu 16.04. However, it does not work with gradle 3.4.1, which ships with 18.04, so I had to upgrade my build config. On the 18.04 machine, I changed the dependency

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.2'

to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.0'

and changed

buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"

to

buildToolsVersion "25.0.3"

Now when I run gradle build, I get the following error message:

SDK location not found. Define location with sdk.dir in the local.properties file or with an ANDROID_HOME environment variable.

However, I have ANDROID_HOME set and pointing to ~/bin/android-sdk-linux, which is the root dir of my Android SDK setup. Also, I have Android SDK build tools 25.0.3 installed locally.

What gives?

Apparently Gradle does not honor ANDROID_HOME, despite the error message saying otherwise.

As a workaround,

echo sdk.dir=$ANDROID_HOME >> local.properties

in the project root dir has fixed this (after also ensuring I was using the correct JDK version and had all submodules checked out).

Oddly, however, on a different computer (also running Ubuntu 18.04) the same app builds without local.properties being present.

If there is no local.properties, just go ahead and create one in parallel to gradle directory.

Then add this line, sdk.dir=/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Android/sdk
