Config:
gradle-2.2.1
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
minSdkVersion 18
targetSdkVersion 22

When I use @autovalue in an Android project I get an NPE, if I move the same class to a java only submodule, then it works.

Seems to not work in 1.0 or 1.1.

Repro steps

Create a blank app in Android Studio.

Add dependency:

compile("com.google.auto.value:auto-value:1.1")

Add this class:

import com.google.auto.value.AutoValue;

@AutoValue
public abstract class Animal {
    static Animal create(String name, int numberOfLegs) {
        return new AutoValue_Animal(name, numberOfLegs);
    }

    abstract String name();
    abstract int numberOfLegs();
}
$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_40"

When I try to build it I get:

Error:(6, 10) error: @AutoValue processor threw an exception: java.lang.NullPointerException

Thanks for the report! The issue appears to be the missing class javax.annotation.Generated. That's a Java 6 class that is not available in all Android environments. We could change the AutoValueProcessor code to tolerate its absence, or perhaps express a dependency from auto-value:1.x to something that defines javax.annotation.Generated.

Adding

compile 'javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:1.2'

to your Android project dependencies should fix the issue.

Could you generate it if it doesn't exist?

Thanks @roman-mazur for the tip!

We only use @Generated in order to add this annotation to the generated code to show where it comes from. I think it would be reasonable just to avoid doing that if javax.annotation.Generated isn't around.

@roman-mazur: In fact, just adding the JSR250-API dependency is sufficient in this case saving you an incredible 20kb :)

Also, I don't think you need to include it using compile. The annotation obviously needs to be in your compilation classpath, but since it's not needed at runtime, the provided scope should do just fine:

// adds the @Generated annotation lacking on Android
provided 'javax.annotation:jsr250-api:1.0'

@jenzz solution (based on @roman-mazur) solved this issue for me.

Below addition to your Android project dependencies list will solve the issue

dependencies {
provided 'com.google.auto.value:auto-value:1.2'
}
