build.gradle

 buildscript {
      repositories {
      mavenCentral()
 }
      dependencies {
          classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.1'
          classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.4'
      }
 }

 apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
 apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt'


 repositories {
     mavenCentral()
 }

 ext.androidAnnotationsVersion = '3.0.1';

 configurations {
    apt
 }

 android {
     compileSdkVersion 19
     buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"
     useOldManifestMerger true

     defaultConfig {
         minSdkVersion 14
         targetSdkVersion 19
         versionCode 1
         versionName "1.0"
     }



     buildTypes {
         release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
         }
     }

     packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
        exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
     }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:20.0.+'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:20.0.+'
    apt "org.androidannotations:androidannotations:${androidAnnotationsVersion}"
    compile "org.androidannotations:androidannotations-api:${androidAnnotationsVersion}"
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')

} 


apt {
    arguments {
        resourcePackageName 'com.yourpackage.name'
        androidManifestFile variant.processResources.manifestFile
    }
}
