Project in Android studio does not run for lack of libs

Question

I’m having this error when trying to run an Android project I did a while ago, I cloned the git repository and tried to run, updated Android Studio a little while ago I don’t know what to do.

Error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'. java.io.Filenotfoundexception: /home/geovanni/Documents/Unb/2016.2/Tecprog/Trabalho otecprog/Euvou/app/libs/*. jar (File or directory not found)

Answer 1

Android Studio projects use Gradle to build. See the file build.gradle there is the statement for it to use the libs folder jars as dependency. Usually as below:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')

}
