i test the google cloud speech api in android studio. after i set the gradle,protobuf, and i compiling the project ,i got the problem like blow:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:generateDebugProto'.

@jerjou Any ideas here?

[lesv]

It looks like gradle is trying to compile before it runs the proto compiler. I suspect it's more complex than this, but my first guess would be to reverse the two plugins at the top of the file:

apply plugin: 'com.google.protobuf'
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

[puneith]

@qingdaofu1 Were you able to try above recommendations?

[ricmalta]

@qingdaofu1 have a look to an implementation I did for a simple demo.
I had some problems with the gradle configuration, mainly with a dependency on a legacy version of guava.
Its not bullet proof, but I'm get it working with android

Thanks @ricmalta. @qingdaofu1 Can you also take a look at our Android samples which are up now https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/android-docs-samples/tree/master/speech/Speech

[puneith]

@ricmalta Closing this issue since the link worked for you.

The solution is to place the following into your build.gradle file:

protobuf { protoc { artifact = "com.google.protobuf:protoc:3.0.0" } plugins { lite { artifact = "com.google.protobuf:protoc-gen-javalite:3.0.0" } } generateProtoTasks { all().each { task -> task.builtins { remove java } task.plugins { lite { } } } } }
