I'm still exceptionally new to Android Development, about 2 weeks in to my first project. So, a resolution may be obvious, and I can only hope this eventually helps another in my shoes.
The goal was to build an app for FireTV that would stream media (on-demand or live video stream).
I started research on Amazon's developer portal, downloaded AS, Amazon SDK, and anything else I was told I would need to continue. My first thoughts were to familiarize myself with Lollipop, using Google TV's for emulator, and using the TV Activity template, which from what I see is heavily based on the Leanback library. I built and tested and modified to my hearts content, and had a working app, using emulators that can handle api21. Then came the time to 'retro-fit' what I had working with Amazon's Fire TV sdk Add-On (API 17). Learned a bit about AppCompat and a few other errors along the way, most I could figure out on my own. But now, I'm stuck.
Gradle won't compile now that I'm using the FireTV add-on, and the console output isn't helpful to me, at this level.
" What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.

Been stuck here for two days, running short on time and am urgently needing progress. Can't figure out how to include --stacktrace or --info as suggested.
In panic, i tried to port the project to eclipse, and as an end result am stuck with "Cannot Resolve 'R'" errors, the only fix I can find is to change the build target, but I think I need to use Amazon's.
I'd rather use Android Studio, but at this point any help would be greatly appreciated.
