[WIP] Fix SDK location not found error in Blanket for Android

[Copilot]

Coding agent has begun work on Fixing “SDK location not found” to build Blanket for Android APK and will update this pull request as work progresses.

Original prompt

• What went wrong: Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'. > SDK location not found. Define a valid SDK location with an ANDROID_HOME environment variable or by setting the sdk.dir path in your project's local properties file at '/root/blanketforandroid/local.properties'.

TITLE: Fixing “SDK location not found” to build Blanket for Android APK

USER INTENT:
Build the “Blanket for Android” APK and resolve Gradle build failures caused by Android SDK path configuration errors.

TASK DESCRIPTION:

• User is trying to build an Android APK for the Blanket Android project (“blanketforandroid”).
• Build fails during Gradle tasks (lint and Java compile) because the Android SDK location is not configured.
• Need to define the Android SDK path either via:
  • ANDROID_HOME environment variable, and/or
  • sdk.dir in the project’s local.properties file (explicitly referenced at /root/blanketforandroid/local.properties).
• Errors observed during build:
  • :app:lintVitalReportInternal dependency resolution fails due to missing SDK location.
  • :app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac fails for the same reason.

EXISTING:

• The issue has been identified as an Android SDK configuration problem (no valid SDK location).
• The project path and expected config target are known:
  • /root/blanketforandroid/local.properties should contain sdk.dir=... if environment variables aren’t set.
• No code changes were made; only build errors were reported.

PENDING:

• Install or confirm availability of the Android SDK on the system/container used for building.
• Set SDK location using one of the required methods:
  1. Export ANDROID_HOME (and likely update PATH to include platform-tools), or
  2. Create/edit /root/blanketforandroid/local.properties to include sdk.dir=/path/to/Android/Sdk (or equivalent location).
• Re-run the Gradle build to generate the APK once SDK resolution succeeds.

CODE STATE:
Files discussed:

• /root/blanketforandroid/local.properties (referenced by Gradle error; not shown/edited in conversation)

No code snippets or diffs were provided; no repository files were changed in the conversation.

RELEVANT CODE/DOCUMENTATION SNIPPETS:
Gradle error messages captured from the build output:

• “Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:lintVitalReportInternal'. > SDK location not found. Define a valid SDK location with an ANDROID_HOME environment variable”
• “Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'. > SDK location not found. Define a valid SDK location with an ANDROID_HOME environment variable or by setting the sdk.dir path in your project's local properties file at '/root/blanketforandroid/local.properties'.”

OTHER NOTES:

• The assistant’s earlier response (“Your work will be continued in this pull request:”) did not address the build issue and provided no actionable steps; the key actionable next step is configuring the Android SDK path correctly so Gradle can run lint/compile tasks and produce the APK.
