The system cannot find the file specified

[antgustech]

When I open the example projects my Gradle sync fails. The error message is:"The system cannot find the file specified". The file it refers to is "local.properties", i e this row: properties.load(project.rootProject.file('local.properties').newDataInputStream())

local.properties is a file generated by AndroidStudio when you import the project. As the name local.properties indicates, it contains properties that are particular of the local machine, therefore it is a file that should never be committed into the repository.
