Some days ago, in my Android Studio IDE I getting an error every Clean Project, Build Project, or Clean and Rerun'app'. The errors shown like below
Error:FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:clean'.
> Unable to delete directory: /mnt/mydata/AndroidStudioProjects/DatePickerDialog/app/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.android.support/animated-vector-drawable/24.2.1/jars
* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --debug option to get more log output.
In my opinion, this error happen when the directory package have different permission with Android Studio IDE. In this case, I using Linux with Ubuntu OS, and the place of directory package is on mount of second partition using NTFS partition.
The Some of the ways that I have tried, and I think this is a good ways. How it ways?
First, you need to open build.gradle in app package. And than copy and paste this small script on below of apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
task clean(type: Delete) { delete "$rootProject/app/build/intermediates/exploded-aar" }
Okay, the script will help Android Studio IDE to delete some files in the directory, now you can try to clean project.
