Error: File path too long on windows, keep below 240 characters

I just ran into the same issue. I don't know a fix for your exact problem, but I found a work around; I see your project has a deep file path hierarchy. Why not just move your project up from a lower level?

Ex: C:\Projects\YourProject

That fixed the problem for me.


You could also try changing your build directory for your project since that is where most of the path issues will arise. In your root build.gradle file

allprojects {
    buildDir = "C:/tmp/${rootProject.name}/${project.name}"
    repositories {
       ...
    }
}

Android Studio will pick up on the change and still show your new build location in the Project view. It's a lot easier than moving your entire project.

EDIT

While Windows 10 Insider Preview now offers the ability for allowing for longer file path limits these limits currently are only actually accessible to apps which have specifically enabled support for longer file paths.

At the current time, it appears that these applications with the extended path enabled seem to be only apps that are installed via the Windows Store.

At the current time, Gradle does not and potentially cannot have this option enabled to utilize the enhanced NTFS file path length.


Cause of problem : 'C:\users...\commom_google_signin_btn_text_dark_normal.9.png' icon path length is greater than 240 character which exceeds Maximum File Path Length Limitation of Windows OS.

Solution is : Move your project into top directory like 'C:\your_project' or reduce length of your project name.
