Gradle Commands Fail On Api 23 Google Api Emulator Image (armeabi-v7a)

I can't seem to get Gradle commands from the command line to work with the API 23 Google API emulator image (Google APIs ARM (armeabi-v7a)) - I always get a com.android.ddmlib.Shel

Solution 1:

Short answer

Android Gradle Plugin had a hardcoded timeout value that was too low.

Google fixed it in version 2.0.0-beta3:

Will be in 2.0.0-beta3.

So what do we put in build.gradle to set this timeout value?

Currently it's all attached to android.adbOptions.timeOutInMs.

Sample: Google project Increasing ADB timeout and adding Travis-ci support. It works!.

It's the same issue that has been reported here

Read the workaround from the unity3 developer about the hardcoded and low timeout here

and starthe issue

You are right. It's not a Travis-ci issue, to reproduce it, you only need to create an armeabi-v7a emulator and try to install any app locally from gradle command.

Further information here, the update3 of my answer

Update:

You can avoid the installVariant tasks and this issue using adb:

./gradlew clean
./gradlew assembleDebug
./gradlew assembleDebugAndroidTest
adb install app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug.apk
adb install app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug-androidTest-unaligned.apk
adb shell am instrument -w com.google.samples.apps.topeka.test/android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner

It works:

...
:app:assembleDebugAndroidTest
