I have this structure for my android project:
ProjectDir
settings.gradle
MyApp(depends on LibraryA and LibraryB)
-->build.gradle
-->All the other android code
LibraryA (depends on LibraryB)
-->build.gradle
-->All the other android code
LibraryB (Has lots of resources that are used in LibraryA and MyApp)
-->build.gradle
-->All the other android code
I can compile the android app just fine using both eclipse and Android Studio. LibraryA imports the R file of LibraryB by doing " import com.LibraryB.R;
" I also make use of com.LibraryB.R.layout....
type references in code and as long as I'm in the IDE things are fine.
I am trying to get things to build from the command line for our CI server and I have tried both ant and gradle and I end up getting the same build error in each.
LibraryA/example.java:10:error:cannot find symbol import com.LibraryB.R
I have even gone to the extent of publishing LibraryB as a local aar file and using it to build LibraryA

I need to be able to access the resources of LibraryB from other library projects and the main app. I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be great. Fyi, using the generated gradle scripts from eclipse give the same issue.
