New android studio flavor

Question

I just updated my android studio and ran into the following error.

Error:java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected scopes found in folder 'D:\****\****\****\app\build\intermediates\transforms\dexMerger\dev_demo\debug'. Required: EXTERNAL_LIBRARIES. Found: EXTERNAL_LIBRARIES, PROJECT, SUB_PROJECTS

I tried closing, cleaning and building but it won't work.

Anybody encountered the same problem ?

Answer 1

从项目文件夹中删除.gradle文件夹为我修复了这个问题。

Answer 2

Try This:

1. Delete the .gradle folder from the project folder
2. In Android Studio go to File>Project Structure>Project and change the Gradle Version to the latest version (4.4).

Answer 3

It goes away if you downgrade the gradle plugin from 3.0.+ to 2.3.3. But still not the soluton we need.

Answer 4

I found a solution which works in my case. I deleted the .gradle and .idea folder from the application source directory and then re-run the app. It works fine for me.

I am not sure about the cause (might be related with studio cache), it works in my case.
