I'm currently using Android Studio 4.0.1 and I've been trying to update it to the latest version that was recently released(4.0.2) but each time I click the update button, it displays the below error:
"Some conflicts were found in the installation area."
"Some of the conflicts below do not have a solution, so the patch cannot be applied."
"Press 'Cancel' to exit."
I have searched all the similar related issues on this site, some had similar issues with me but it didn't solve the error because the missing file it indicated has something to do with plugins and most people's own were different
A Screenshot of it:
I would like to know if there's anywhere I can get all the required latest plugins for Android studio because I previously uninstalled Android Studio, so maybe I wiped out the plugin files in the process. My current Android Gradle Plugin version is 4.0.1, then the Gradle version is 6.1.1.
Any Help will be appreciated
The folder where the studio is trying to install to may be the issue, You can always try to uninstall Android Studio and then install the version you wish to install.
At first I've tried to update Android Studio 4.1 Canary 8 to Canary 9 as usual through update dialog. At the first start Canary 9 have thrown error:
Missing essential plugin:
org.jetbrains.android
Please reinstall Android Studio from scratch.
So I downloaded Canary 9 distribution from official source (https://developer.android.com/studio/preview). Deleted Canary 8 catalog and extracted tar.gz with Canary 9. Then launched android-studio/bin/studio.sh with the same error.
I renamed ~/.AndroidStudioPreview4.1 catalog and started studio once more. Same error.
Now I rolled back to Canary 8 from my backup.
Any help how to move from Canary 8 to 9?
Basically this issue mentioned in release notes
In Android Studio 4.1 Canary 9, you may see the following error when
first launching Android Studio after upgrading:
missing essential plugin org.jetbrains.android
This can happen when you import your settings from a previous version
of Android Studio. Typically, this means you have a locally installed
Kotlin plugin that is not compatible with the new IDE.
To fix this issue, remove the Kotlin directory from the following
locations:
Linux: ~/.local/share/Google/AndroidStudioPreview4.1
Windows:
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudioPreview4.1
MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudioPreview4.1
Because there is no Kotlin plugin compatible with Canary 9 currently
available from JetBrains, we have bundled our own Kotlin plugin with
the Canary 9 update, so you don't need to manually install a Kotlin
plugin.
source
At the same time by path ~/.local/share/Google/AndroidStudioPreview4.1 no such file or directory. The only catalog named AndroidStudioPreview4.1 founded by ./.cache/Google/AndroidStudioPreview4.1. So I deleted it without any effect on subject issue.
Then I completely removed ~/.AndroidStudioPreview4.1 instead of renaming which I'd done before. And resolved the issue.
I believe Google bundle Kotlin plugin in a different way JetBrains do. So paths differ. Maybe path for Windows to. I believe paths should be corrected in release notes.
Solution:
rm -r ~/.AndroidStudioPreview4.1
Solved this problem by using terminal in Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
toumbou#toumbou-Aspire-V3-471:~$ cd ~/.AndroidStudio4.0/config
toumbou#toumbou-Aspire-V3-471:~/.AndroidStudio4.0/config$ ls
codestyles disabled_plugins.txt inspection plugins tasks user.token
colors disabled_update.txt options port.lock terminal workspace
toumbou#toumbou-Aspire-V3-471:~/.AndroidStudio4.0/config$
and open the file via nautilus
toumbou#toumbou-Aspire-V3-471:~/.AndroidStudio4.0$ nautilus config
Then move the config folder and remove also the kotlinRefractoring.xml and also I removed the caches of my previous project so now I got it running fine again with some tweaks all things ares fine.
This version of Android Studio cannot open this project, please retry with Android Studio 3.4 or newer.
but my android studio version is 3.2.1 and there is no new update from Google
Try to edit your project build.gradle file and set the android build gradle plugin to classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1' within the dependency section.
See also the documentation of the android grade plugin
It's a bit late, But easy and effective.
Click on About Android Studio,
Check the current version,
Open build.gradle of Project and put it in front of the class path. e.g Your studio version is 3.5.2, then your classpath should look like this
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.2'
You would need to lower your gradle version and android plugin version, or you can download latest version from beta or canary update channels.
To enable updates from other channels go to Help -> Check for Updates -> Congifure automatic updates and in that dialog select channel you want. After selecting check for update again and it will show you latest version.
This issue is caused due to use of newer version of gradle in the project.
There are two options to resolve this:
Option 1:
Change gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.1-all.zip
Change project level gradle build.gradle file
classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2")
Option 2:
Update your Android Studio to newer version. (Highly recommended)
In IntelliJ IDEA this is an open bug: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-252823
As a workaround, you can change the build tools version as other people advise.
My project was failing with this dependency:
com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.0-alpha03
Now it's working with this:
com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.2
As a side note, you should change that dependency in build.gradle in some projects or in dependencies.kt in newer projects.
That was the most updated version that worked.
After an update the Android Studio does not show the layout's design for some reason. I tried newer versions as well, but it did not work. So I decided to downgrade my IDE.
When I opened my project, I got the same error. The solution was the following:
Open the Project Structure.
Select the Project field.
Use the appropriate Android Plugin Version. You can copy it from a new project's structure.
Change the Gradle version too what you need.
OK.
Find the gradle-wrapper.properties file and open it.
Change the distributionUrl to that gradle version url what you saved in the Project Structure.
Or if you don't mind, then you can update your AS.
Had the same Issue when i decided to install another version of Android Studio, what worked for me was:
Creating a new project with the current version of Android Studio just to go check the classpath version at the project level build.gradle inside the dependencies section, at the time it was this:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0-rc01'
Copied that line and replaced it on the project i was working on.
in project's build.gradle file comment classpath com.android.tools.build:gradle:. File → Project Structure select Android Gradle Plugin Version to match Android Studio version
You can now update your android studio to 3.4 stable version. Updates for stable version are now available. cheers!!!
i just change gradle version classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.3' to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2' and now working.
I encountered with this error and just decrease gradle version and android plugin version to 5.1.1 and 3.4.2.
Close VPN worked for me! It suprised me.
this issue occur for me after downgrade Java JDK, after upgrade JDK my problem resolved.
Open android studio then go to help menu > check for update > Update your Android Studio to newer version.
If u r here because of Jetpack Compose, I had the same problem, and solved it by using the Arctic Fox Canary build of Android studio: you can download it at this link: https://redirector.gvt1.com/edgedl/android/studio/ide-zips/2020.3.1.12/android-studio-2020.3.1.12-mac.zip
This issue arises due to updates, You can resolve this by downgrading the gradle used from
com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1 to a previous gradle like com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0 or anything older than the current one
This usually happens when you're opening someone else's project after unzipping it. And the person has used an updated android Studio.
The way to solve it is
1.Go to Help and about to see your android studio version
2.Go to File>Project Structure> and set your Android Gradle Plugin version to your android studio version
3.Change the Gradle version to the one you usually use.(optional)
Build the project and it should run without any errors
This seems like incompatible gradle plugin vs gradle binary versions. You can find the releases here: Gradle Plugin release and compatiblity
Upgrade your grade plugin and grade binary to compatible versions and the app should start building.

Switching back to Android 2.2.2 did not help either. Successfully able to build from command Line though(MacOX Terminal)
Delete your $HOME/.gradle directory (or on Windows, %HOME%\.gradle folder). The next execution of gradle will rebuild this. (It will require some downloads, so make sure you have an internet connection).
You can try just deleting $HOME/.gradle/caches, but this will not solve the problem in all cases.
I have similar issue on 2.3.1
I tried using the Android 2.4 Preview 4 but that did not help. I am able to build from command line too.
Android-Studio-2.3.1-Gradle-Sync
It happens when Android Studio creates two instances of gradle. I tried clearing the gradle cache or even deleting the .gradle but did not help. All this problem started when I deleted my old project repo and re-pulled it and imported to my Android Studio.
Best is to delete all your gradle instance from your home directly before your re-import your project Android Studio.
Android Studio started behaving like this after I tried building with the command line(osx) using ./gradlew
What helps is running the studio with sudo:
sudo /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/MacOS/studio
I wonder if theres a fix to this problem that allows the studio to be started normally as well.
I've tried rebuilds, opening/closing android studio, switching to api level 18 and everything: I get this output:
Error:Module 'LabsCore': platform 'android-19' not found.
Error:Module 'facebook': platform 'android-19' not found.
In the sdk manager it is really all installed, I checked multiple times. Is this an issue with android studio/gradle plugin in the latest version?
I faced the same error after updrade to Android Studio 0.5.3/0.5.4. Take a look at this question. And the cholm's answer that was the solution for me.
