Yes, I will have to look into a bit further, though. I ran into trouble with the gradle versions. Apparently, I installed the newest version and the tests I ran (K-9 and SteffenBauer's sgtpuzzles) both required older versions for which I just couldn't get the licenses signed in Android Studio. Even though there are entire pages dedicated to solving this problem. Pfff. Didn't even get into coding yet....
If you could suggest another route that doesn't care about licensing but just compiles the code, I would be quite happy.
