When I first picked up Android, I really struggled to wrap mind around Gradle. Part of it was that I was still pretty new to build tools in general (I was still in college at the time), but part was also just that Gradle is a very complicated build tool, with a lot going on under the hood.
Not knowing what Gradle was actually doing and how to actually interact with it, not knowing where it keeps its files, etc, was where I would have these similar kinds of issues crop up. I would highly recommend you take some of their online courses. They are very thorough, yet accessible with lots of examples and sample projects; taught live by their own knowledgeable engineers, so you can ask questions and get help directly; and in many cases free. These courses are what took me from barely understanding Gradle at all to being able to create my own complex builds, and debug issues for myself as they came up.
I appreciate the response and the link! I wasn't actually crying out for help, but rather trying to ask the community what their Gradle issues are :) Mainly out of curiosity, but also for responses like this, which hopefully can help others.
