Error: Configuration with name 'default' not found in Android Studio

I am using the volley library to perform network operation in android. So I am trying to add this library in my project which is created in Android Studio and gradle system.

I added the volley library in my project but when I sync with gradle then I am getting error message. I tried all the answers which I see here but nothing worked for me.

Error message : Configuration with name 'default' not found in Android Studio

Volley/build.gradle

apply plugin: 'android-library'

android {

    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion '19.0.1'

    sourceSets {
        defaultConfig {
            minSdkVersion 8
            targetSdkVersion 19
        }

        main {
            assets.srcDirs       = ['assets']
            res.srcDirs          = ['res']
            aidl.srcDirs         = ['src']
            resources.srcDirs    = ['src']
            renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
            java.srcDirs         = ['src']
            manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'

        }
    }
}

app/build.gradle

root/build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.9.1'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

settings.gradle

include ':app'
include ':library:volley'

Try:

git submodule init
git submodule update

Add your library folder in your root location of your project and copy all the library files there. For ex YourProject/library then sync it and rest things seems OK to me.

This is probably a rare case, but for me a library that was included in the settings.gradle was not there.

E.g. I had: include ':libraries:Android-RateThisApp:library' in my settings.gradle

but the folder Android-RateThisApp was empty. As soon as I checked out this submodule the gradle sync succeed.

If you want to use the same library folder for several projects, you can reference it in gradle to an external location like this:

settings.gradle:

include 'app', ':volley'
project(':volley').projectDir = new File('../libraries/volley')

in your app build.gradle

dependencies {
    ...
    compile project(':volley')
...}
