Android newbie onboarding flow is pretty wild

I get the following error the first time I try to run ./gradlew check:

To honour the JVM settings for this build a new JVM will be forked. Please consider using the daemon: https://docs.gradle.org/2.14.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html.
Failed to notify ProjectEvaluationListener.afterEvaluate(), but primary configuration failure takes precedence.
java.lang.RuntimeException: SDK location not found. Define location with sdk.dir in the local.properties file or with an ANDROID_HOME environment variable.

To solve this I had to add the following to my bash_profile:

export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/featherless/Library/Android/sdk

• We should document this in our Android README.md's

After solving the above I ran into the following error:

To honour the JVM settings for this build a new JVM will be forked. Please consider using the daemon: https://docs.gradle.org/2.14.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html.
File /Users/featherless/.android/repositories.cfg could not be loaded.

Alternatively, to learn how to transfer the license agreements from one workstation to another, go to http://d.android.com/r/studio-ui/export-licenses.html

Looks like I need to install 24.0.3 specifically.

After installing 24.0.3 I then received the following error:

To honour the JVM settings for this build a new JVM will be forked. Please consider using the daemon: https://docs.gradle.org/2.14.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html.

Appears that 24.0.3 doesn't qualify as a version 24....so installing that now >.<

[jverkoey]

Couldn't find the license agreement, so I tried creating a new project and hitting build rather than running the runtime-android gradlew script. Finally saw this screen ^ and now appear to be installing a third SDK.

[jverkoey]

I had to manually download the sdk from here: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img/google_apis/x86_64-24_r10.zip

and then put the extracted files here:

~/Library/Android/sdk/system-images/android-24/google_apis/x86_64

Is downloading another .zip:

Looking for SDK updates...
Preparing "Install Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)".Downloading https://dl.google.com/android/repository/extras/intel/haxm-macosx_r6_0_5.ziphttps://dl.google.com/android/repository/extras/intel/haxm-macosx_r6_0_5.zip

Another download dialog ^

Another dialog:

Ran gradlew again and it's asking me to re-download the sdk again :(
