Android Studio 0.8 Task assemble not found in root project

Question

I m trying to build the iosched app on ubuntu 14.04 on android studio 0.8 . After importing the setting.gradle file and following the build instruction I get an error saying

Error

    :FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

    * What went wrong:
    Task 'assemble' not found in root project 'iosched'.

    * Try:
    Run gradle tasks to get a list of available tasks. Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

The solution mentioned in this post doesn't work either.

Can you be more specific about what you're doing? I was able to import the iosched app and build it just fine in 0.8.6. — Scott Barta, Aug 15 '14 at 17:03

Previous error is gone but now I get this error "Error:Project 'android' not found in root project 'iosched'." — Vihaan Verma, Aug 15 '14 at 20:56

Try to add this: task assemble{} in your root build.gradle file.

According to this thread it helps (it helped me as well).

just to expand it, the `task assemble {}` has to be in the build.gradle of every library, so for example in my library's build.gradle I would have the following content: `task assemble {} configurations.create("default") artifacts.add("default", file('slidingMenulibrary.aar'))` – noloman Sep 25 '14 at 09:50

In my case, it was because my project implemented a Module that was an android-library (deprecated) / com.android.library which used a minSdkVersion lower than my project. Be sure that your project and android-library / com.android.library have the same minSdkVersion.
