Project setup

[nurzhannogerbek]

Hello! First of all I want to say that your project looks like wonderful. REALLY AMAZING!

I am tring to test your project but when I import it gradle sync project failed. It seems to me that compileJava is not correct in my case but in project settings JDK location is correct. JDK version 1.7.0_79. I set the environment variable in system properties of Windows and called it as JAVA7_HOME.

compileJava {
    sourceCompatibility = 1.7
    targetCompatibility = 1.7
    def jdkHome = System.getenv()['JAVA7_HOME']
    options.bootClasspath = (new File(jdkHome, "/jre/lib/rt.jar")).canonicalPath
}

Android Studio IDE see error in code: cannot resolve symbol File

ERROR

Error:(8, 0) Ambiguous method overloading for method java.io.File#<init>.
Cannot resolve which method to invoke for [null, class java.lang.String] due to overlapping prototypes between:
    [class java.lang.String, class java.lang.String]
    [class java.io.File, class java.lang.String]

Whats the best way to solve this problem?

I didnt notice that the same question was before. I found solution in one of the comments. I just restart Windows after setting this variable. Unfortunatly still cant test in emulator or real device cause have error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
> Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.

In addition to it I have strange warnings in IDE like that:
JAVA7_HOME or JAVA8_HOME enviromental variable not found. Please set them. Retrolambda may fail without them.

You did said that you set JAVA7_HOME. Did you set JAVA8_HOME? Both are needed.
You can see at Travis that source code can be build https://travis-ci.org/byoutline/kickmaterial/builds

@Naitbit Thanks, it helped me. Topic can be closed. I used both JAVA7_HOME and JAVA8_HOME right know and its works nice. Really beautiful application. Have a nice day! =)
