Failed to create APK file using Gluon

Question

I try to generate apk from Netbeans 8 but I 'am getting an exeception. Here is the content of my gradle file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots'
        }
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'org.javafxports:jfxmobile-plugin:1.3.0-SNAPSHOT'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'org.javafxports.jfxmobile'

repositories {
    jcenter()
    maven {
        url 'http://nexus.gluonhq.com/nexus/content/repositories/releases'
    }
}

mainClassName = 'com.testgluon.TestGluonMob'

dependencies {
    compile 'com.gluonhq:charm:4.2.0'

    }

jfxmobile {
    android {
        manifest = 'src/android/AndroidManifest.xml'
        compileSdkVersion = '25'


    }
}

I have already installed : multidex-1.0.1.aar

I saw this answer but no luck. it does n't help me.

Edit: the following is a part of stacktrace (using --info option from Netbeans):

Note:

I don't require 25. I can use older version. When I delete compileSdkVersion = '25', I get the this exception:

Please make sure to set your android sdk path as shown in the code above. if you do not have the android SDK, you can download it from here

https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html

in this case you will download android studio (which is fine). Download it and then install the desired version of the SDK you want.
