We are breaking new ground here. There is no perfect solution but I made
this suggestions, so that we can more easily find out what is going
wrong right now. It has most likely something to do with that the build
system can't find the relevant classes to build your example app because
it is looking in the wrong place (flatDir points to the wrong
directory). Your build.gradle file points to
/usr/share/android-platform-tools-base but the "common"-class should be
in /usr/share/java.
