I have cloned from github both the respositories CastVideos-android and CastCompanionLibrary-android to my AndroidStudioProjects folder with the names 'CastVideos' and 'CastCompanionLibrary'. When I attempt to build CastVideos, in Android Studio I get
Gradle 'CastVideos' project refresh failed
Error:Bad pathname
When I run 'gradlew.bat build' in the CastVideos directory, I get the below:
C:\Users\Tim\AndroidStudioProjects\CastVideos>gradlew.bat build
Relying on packaging to define the extension of the main artifact has been depre
cated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 2.0
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'CastVideos'.
> Could not normalize path for file 'C:\Users\Tim\AndroidStudioProjects\CastVide
os\build\intermediates\exploded-aar\CastVideos...\CastCompanionLibrary\unspecifi
ed\debug'.

Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug
option to get more log output.

This is my first attempt at using Android Studio after developing with Eclipse so I am a bit lost. Any suggestions?
I think I know why. It is a Windows thing. It seems that Windows does not realize that '..' mean upper directory. that is why you have this path "C:\Users\Tim\AndroidStudioProjects\CastVide os\build\intermediates\exploded-aar\CastVideos...\CastCompanionLibrary\unspecifi ed\debug" I am running on the mac which seems to be working fine
I would suggest that you copy the whole CastCompanionLibrary into your CastVideo directory and then change ..:CastCompanionLibraries to :CastCompanionLibraries
