I'm using Ubuntu 18.04
Android Studio Version 3.6.3
I think I have two installed Gradle locations If I'm not wrong
One of them installed using sdkman, when I use terminal to locate the Gradle
which gradle
Also, I've found (I don't remember if I installed Gradle in another way instead of sdkman) in my home directory, this is the one which Android Studio is using (I think) and make issues when opening a project
I think I need to use sdkman as it's easier to update the Gradle version etc.
So, my question is should I remove the gradle from: "/home/khaledomara/.gradle". If so, what is the best method to do that and what path should I put in the settings of Android studio?
Should it be "/home/khaledomara/.sdkman/candidates/gradle/current/bin/gradle"?
You only have one Gradle installed - the ~/.gradle directory is where a running Gradle process stores data and it can be safely deleted (assuming you don't have a gradle.properties or similar with any settings you want to save - but there is no need to delete it).
It is not a bad idea to do a gradle init in your Android Studio project - this will give your project its own Gradle that you can upgrade at your leisure without having to rely on the globally installed Gradle.
Open File-> Project Structure.
Issue: It says "Project Structure is unavailable for projects that use Gradle KTS build files. This project uses Gradle KTS build files which are not fully supported in this version of Android Studio"
I am using the below configuration
Android Studio : 3.5.3
Gradle plugin : 3.5.3
Gradle wrapper : 5.5.1
Is this the expected behavior? Can anyone provide a suggestion to fix this
Android studio 3.5.x did not support very well Gradle Kotlin DSL.
You shoud try it on android 4.X it's way better supported.
I've just updated Android Studio to 2.2 and now my Kotlin project won't build. The gradle synch works fine, but when attempting to build I'm immediately presented with an error that reads:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugKotlin'.
> Could not initialize class com.intellij.ide.highlighter.JavaFileType
I've checked that my Kotlin plugin is up to date. This error sounds like something to do with the IDE and highlighting Java code? Any help would be appreciated.
Open Tools | Kotlin | Configure Kotlin Plugin Updates in the main menu,
then choose Check for Updates. Be sure that yo're using Stable channel.
Close Android Studio, go to your project's directory, and delete build and app/build folders. Run Android Studio. Deleted folders would be recreated.
Hope it will help
In my case the kotlin plugin was not updated as #piotrek1543 said in other answer.
In addition to that the build.gradle had an old Kotlin version number 1.0.1-2 and the IntelliJ said in a warning on top of to switch to the current bundled version 1.0.4.
Now with the kotlin version like this the error is gone:
ext.kotlin_version = '1.0.4'
I've just updated Android Studio and I can't sync my project anymore.
The event log reports:
Gradle sync failed: /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-X.X.X/lib/plugins/gradle-diagnostics-X.X.X.jar (No such file or directory)
To solve the Gradle sync error, open gradle-wrapper.properties file and update the Gradle wrapper distribution version from:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-X.X.X-all.zip
To:
Android Studio 3.4
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip
Android Studio 2.3 distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.3-all.zip
Android Studio 2.2 distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip
Android Studio 2.1 distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.12-all.zip
Android Studio 2.0 distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip
Android Studio 1.5 distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.8-all.zip
Android Studio 1.3 distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.4-all.zip
You can find the latest Gradle wrapper version visiting:
https://services.gradle.org/distributions/
EDIT:
As a side note, as #SeBsZ suggests,
the official repository of the Android Gradle plugin switched from MavenCentral to jCenter (see Bintray blog post).
Make sure your project build.gradle file contains the new repository and the new classpath:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
This is not strictly related to the question problem, but since we are already migrating to the new IDE preview it's better to make sure everything is in place.
If, like me, you are using an older project then you might still be using the maven repository. Make sure you change the repositories in your top-level build.gradle from maven() to jcenter(). Then make sure you are using the correct dependency as well: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0-beta1' for the new 1.3 preview.
For me helped to set chmod on the .gradle directory to 777. After this whole Android studio started working correctly.
I got the same issue after updating android studio to 3.4
I resolve this updatig gradle-wrapper.properties
I had
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip
I leave
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip
and with this To solve the Gradle sync error.
This is the weirdest thing ever and I never expected it to work but this:
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip
worked and got everything fixed (it was the '\' after https). It does make sense since that is an actual link to a file.
check your .bash_profile file and make sure your GRADLE_HOME points to a valid path, if things were working and you face this issue after android studio update, chances are your gradle got updated too.
Here is the example of my gradle home in .bash_profile:
export GRADLE_HOME=/Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-2.14.1/bin
Had the same problem with a newly set up Android Studio 2.2.2, gradle wrapper 2.14.1. I loaded the project before i installed the needed android-23 library and installed java after Android Studio installation.
Error message in Android Studio 2.2.2:
Error:The specified Gradle distribution
'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip' does
not appear to contain a Gradle distribution.
Error message in cmd:

When i used gradle from cmd however it worked
projectfolder> set PATH=%PATH%;C:\AndroidStudio2.0\gradle\gradle-2.14.1\bin\
projectfolder> set GRADLE_HOME=C:\AndroidStudio2.0\gradle\gradle-2.14.1\bin\
projectfolder> cd C:\projectfolder\
projectfolder> gradle
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
In cmd i see that the gradle versions and android sdk version were correct
C:\>set | find "JAVA_HOME"
JAVA_HOME=C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_111\
However in C:\Users\.AndroidStudio2.2\system\log\idea.log it said something else:

After messing up Android Studio config files i ended up reinstalling everything in correct order (Java, Android Studio, Project) and it worked.
I got the same issue after updating my android studio to 1.5
Here is my error stack trace.
Error:A problem occurred configuring root project 'Kargo'.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/adiyatmubarak/Documents/android-studio/gradle/gradle-2.4/lib/plugins/gradle-diagnostics-2.4.jar (No such file or directory)
After I checked to the android studio instalation directory within gradle, my gradle was gradle-2.8 I don't know how to setup my android studio path location, but for temporary fix I just rename it to gradle-2.4 and my problem solved.
I've got a project that used to be in Eclipse. I've since moved it from there into Android Studio, though it's not using the Gradle build system yet.
I've setup my gradle files so that I can do gradlew build from the command-line and it will generate an APK for me.
My question now is how do I get Android studio to build using the gradle files that I've got setup instead of the using the "old" way?
For what it's worth, I'm on Windows 7.
Not sure how you are compiling the project with Android Studio without actually using Gradle because AFAIK Android Studio always uses Gradle under the hoods to build sources.
Anyway, if you have your Gradle config file ready you only have to import it to a new project in Android Studio (File > Import Project... and then select the build.gradle or settings.gradle)
