The Gradle Nightmare in Android Studio

The Gradle Nightmare in Android Studio


  This is a relatively common message in Android Studio if you dare to touch Gradle:

 11:13 PM    Gradle sync failed: Minimum supported Gradle version is 3.3. Current version is 2.2. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in C:\Users\Acer Aspire\AndroidStudioProjects\MyApplication\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-3.3-all.zip
                    Consult IDE log for more details (Help | Show Log)

 I have installed Gradle in c:\gradle and configured Android Studio File->Settings->Build, Excution ..->Gradle to point to this installation. 

If you try to rebuild the project, you still get:

Error:Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0.
Searched in the following locations:
    file:/C:/Program Files/Android/Android Studio2/gradle/m2repository/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.5.0/gradle-3.5.0.pom
    file:/C:/Program Files/Android/Android Studio2/gradle/m2repository/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.5.0/gradle-3.5.0.jar

The question is: How come Androd Studio ignores my Gradle settings and sets off to Karura forest to look for gradle installations?? 

It seems Gradle refactoring is non-existent in Android Studio, hence, upgrade at you own risk You could spend the rest of your life sorting out the resulting mess.

XUBUNTU PANEL AND WINDOW BUTTONS HAVE DISAPEARED

 XUBUNTU PANELS Xubuntu can be quite troublesome when you shutdown and restart. Desktop panels may disappear as well as window minimize/maximise/close buttons.  The panel is equivalent to the Windows 10 Start menu that provides access to applications. TO MAKE THE PANEL REAPPEAR Open a terminal by right-clicking on the desktop then enter the following: xfwm4 --replace TO RECOVER THE PANEL Open a terminal by right-clicking on the desktop then enter the following: xfCE-panel --restart  That is all . As we say in Kiswahili: Mambo kwisha!

A stream consists of the address of the streaming server and the stream name/key as we saw in setting up smartphones for streaming and setting up Youtube for simple live streaming .  Once the events, streams and cameras are set up, you switch to the Live Control Room from where you can preview the event, monitor the live stream through video and statistics (analytics) and turn off streaming. The Control Room interface includes an indication of stream health - whether the server is receiving data from you encoder and at what speed. The steps involved in setting up for multi-camera streaming are as follows: 1. Sign in to a verified Youtube account .
