maybe related to #34 ( Java version related ), if you could build others only this one could not built, then it is not related, may you check it out.

I had to download jdk-7u79 for mac and changed jdk location to 1.7 in module settings for fixing this issue.is it not possible to use jdk 1.8 it would have saved my 1 day ..
Thanks @ggfan

[ggfan]

there is a way to make it to work with java 8:
compileOptions.with {
sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
}

this was at the bottom at the #34, sorry I should have pasted here, should have saved you one day. While next time I will paste them here. Glad you get through it!

Happy to continue to discussion in #43. We should update the README.md with instruction on how to set JDK 1.7 and/or add the proper build.gradle workaround.
