Can't build example basicapp

[pswaminathan]

Steps:

1. Check out HEAD
2. Go to examples/basicapp
3. bazel build java/com/basicapp:basic_app

Output:

bazel build java/com/basicapp:basic_app

IIRC I fixed this upstream in bazelbuild/bazel a while ago, but it hasn't made it into a release yet. If you use a build of bazel close to head (as our README suggests), this should build correctly.

Thanks @ted-xie ! That does indeed get me farther, but still a failure:

I wasn't able to repro this -- the error is pretty surprising: Error parsing command line: Unrecognized option: --targetLabel. This is the code that creates that COMPILE_LIBRARY_RESOURCES action:

https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_android/blob/25c784ba600db81b425c4ac5e12a7f5d60052e1d/rules/busybox.bzl#L672

and --targetLabel is not added there, and it doesn't look like it was there before. Are you using some local customizations?

[pswaminathan]

Whoops, turns out I do have some local customizations that I had forgotten about. I'll revert back to main and try again.

Cool, thanks for letting us know. Feel free to re-open if you run into this again with an unmodified Bazel + unmodified rules_android.
