Build fails on Jenkins for my Android project due to config

Question

I am trying to setup Jenkins Job for my android project. The Project is getting built successfully on my local machine but fails on Jenkins with following error:

A problem occurred configuring project ':app' Cannot evaluate module volley : Configuration with name 'default' not found.

.gitmodules

[submodule "volley"]
    path = volley

            storePassword "******"
            keyAlias "release-key"
            keyPassword "*******"
        }
    }

    applicationVariants.all { variant ->
        variant.outputs.each { output ->
            def outputFile = output.outputFile
            if (outputFile != null && outputFile.name.endsWith('.apk')) {
                def fileName = outputFile.name.replace('app-release.apk', "myproject.apk")
                output.outputFile = new File(outputFile.parent, fileName)
            }

        // in the individual module build.gradle files

}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

I have set up volley by cloning the repo

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/volley

I have tried changing the path of volley and recloning also but it didn't worked

That error message looks like the volley submodule has not been cloned into the workspace.
You should not clone this manually, but let Jenkins do it for you.

Jenkins doesn't clone submodules by default (for some unknown reason), but you can enable this in your job configuration. In the Git section, choose:
Additional Behaviours > Add > Advanced sub-modules behaviours

You can additionally check the "Recursively clone submodules" option in the section that appears, but I don't think volley needs this.
