No Android facet found, issues compiling with Android Studio 0.2

Question

So, following the advice on this SO post (sorry, I would comment there expect I don't have enough reputation)

Gradle: FAILURE: Could not determine which tasks to execute

I removed the tags from my .iml files, which allows me to compile. But when I go to run the .apk on a device, I get the error

"Error running TestProject: No Android facet found for TestProject"

Can someone help please, just want to get back to writing Android apps!

In my project directory, I had two .iml files -AppNameProject/AppNameProject.iml and AppNameProject/AppName/AppName.iml The project-level one is where you need to delete the component tag, but you need the Android Facet in AppName.iml. Did you delete the tags from the correct .iml file? — alikonda, Jul 16 '13 at 22:49
Hmm, thanks for replying, wish I had this answer a couple days ago. I *think* I tried deleting it from both, then only one and only the other, but not 100% sure. In the end, I ended up having to recreate the project from scratch using the newest version of Studio, push my code and /res over to it, and it seemed to fix things. Painful being on the bleeding edge sometimes. — Bradley Bossard, Jul 16 '13 at 23:55

Add an android facet to your module by following below steps.

1) Go To File Menu -> Project Structure, or press (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S) shortcut to open "Project Structure".

2) Select "Facets" which is under the "Project Settings" tab. (First column)

3) Click on "+" button which is at the top of the Second Column to add new facets.

4) Select "Android" facet from that "Add "menu which will prompt another dialog box to select a module. (Select a module to which you want to apply this facet).

5) Select your module and that's it. :)

Hope this will solve your problem.

@SunilKumar I am facing the same issue as you. I also see nothing in the facet. I have also tried re installation of Android Studio: there are ? before the names of given SDK. I also have found a change:I have 32 bit Windows XP and Android API 25 platform is installed. – Abhinav Saxena Nov 29 '16 at 05:23

In my case, it helped to just go to "Edit Configurations..." and delete the current configuration. Then I just created a new one with the default options.

A facet represents a certain configuration, specific for a particular framework/technology associated with a module. A module can have multiple facets. E.g., Spring-specific configuration is stored in a Spring facet.

Manually add a facet to a module

In the Project tool window Alt+1, right-click the module to which you want to add a facet, and select Add Framework Support.
Select the necessary framework from the list.

Depending on your choice, you might be prompted to configure additional settings (for example, to configure a library).
Apply the changes and close the dialog.
