keytool error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\AndroidWorkspace\androidKey\public.jks (The system cannot find the path specified)

Issue

I am to trying to create a signed app in Android Studio, but i am stuck at this error which says

keytool error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\AndroidWorkspace\androidKey\public.jks (The system cannot find the path specified)

I get this error when i am creating a new key store. i am confused, why would it search for this key, when i am trying to create a new one.

Android Studio : V1.1.0

JRE: 1.8.0_25-b18 amd64

Solution

Manual modifying the build.gradle(Module:app) file to sign the apk did the work. This is the code I've included in build.gradle.

signingConfigs {
    release {
        storeFile file("release.keystore")
        storePassword "******"
        keyAlias "******"
        keyPassword "******"
    }
}

buildTypes {
    release {
        signingConfig signingConfigs.release
    }
}
