When I start Android Studio, it shows popup regarding new update of 1.1 release. But when I start updating, After downloading all patch files, while restarting, it shows following error:
I searched almost everywhere on Google and Stackoverflow. There are already two questions on so: this and this. But none of them are have any correct answer. I also tried running as administrator, restarting PC, turning off the firewall, uninstalling antivirus. But none of them worked.
I am using windows 7 32-bit. How to solve this problem? Can anyone help?
I know this is an older question but I encountered the same error while updating SDK components in Android Studio 2.3.3. I was able to fix the problem by starting the SDK manager and un-checking the components that showed the error and clicked "Apply". That un-installed just that component. When it was finished, I re-checked the component and clicked "Apply" again. When it was finished, the problematic component was updated to the newest version. This was much quicker than doing a full un-install/re-install as stated in one of the solutions above.
Hope this helps someone.
This is another option, it is not much easier than reinstalling but at least you don't have to worry about your settings getting lost
Go to help->about and note the version you currently have installed
Download zip file for your current version at https://developer.android.com/studio/archive
Manually overwrite conflicted files with files from zip
Update normally
I had a similar problem on some other files and could not figure it out.
You should download the last Android Studio version and remove the old one.
It appears like the only way to bypass this error and successfully update Android Studio is to uninstall and reinstall it.
Before uninstalling, make a backup of your IDE settings through File | Export Settings.
Download the "No SDK tools included" exe from the Other Downloads section. Avoid using download accelerators as they often mess up the downloads from https://dl.google.com .
In the Install Wizard, you may uncheck to update AVD if you use Genymotion and don't need Google's Android emulator.
Use the JetBrains Toolbox for Android Studio update, problem solved. No need to mess with the file permissions. Especially on company devices.
I had this issue on Ubuntu 18.04 when tried to update Android Studio from 3.4 to 3.5 version. I have changed Android Studio directory's ownership to my user:
sudo chown -R <username> /opt/android-studio
It resolved all but one errors for me, because I still had a jre/bin/java - Access Denied error, which I have resolved by killing its process:
# The second column of this command's output is PID.
ps -aux | grep /opt/android-studio/jre/bin/java
kill <PID>
It might also happen that you need to logout and and re login as admin user in your system.
Update the Android studio [in admin user].
Re login as a previous user.
You should check the JDK Location settings, which appears be changed on every Android Studio update, with commands ctrl + Alt + Shift + S (to reveal the Project Structure menu options, and uncheck the Use embedded JDK and find your current JDK Location, on windows machines, you can see that location on environment variables JAVA_HOME.
There is a workaround, try deleting or moving the files that are causing the conflicts to another folder when the Update starts NOT BEFORE! That worked for me.
I know this is a very old question, but I face this issue almost every time I try to update my studio. Only solution I know which works for sure is clean install of studio....which is time consuming. So the solution is when you get to know the name of the file, search the location of that folder containing specified file. Check if that folder has lock icon on it, if it has then change the sharing settings to everyone and share the folder. If it does not have the lock icon on the folder check if it is in read-only mode. This worked for me hopefully someone finds this useful.
Cheers.
I had a similar problem. What I did was to make sure of the whole folder's ownership. For some reason, some files where owned by root, so I changed it to my ownership. In linux you can use the followoing command on the Android Studio folder:
sudo chown yourusername:yourusername -R android-studio-folder
I just tried again and everything updated successfully. Hope it helps!
The only solution worked for me is I have reinstalled Android Studio the latest version without uninstalling manually it and when starting the installer it asked me to uninstall and said that your settings will not be lost so I checked the uninstall and everything went smooth without any problems and got the latest version installed and all my settings the same.
I had this symptom when updating from Android Studio 3.4.2 to 3.5.
In my case, the affected file was plugins/Kotlin/kotlinc/bin/kotlinc.
The cause turned out to be that while the file's contents had not been modified at all... the Unix permissions bits on it had been.
Specifically, this was a file that comes as non-executable, and I had at some point chmod'd it to executable (because it should be) in order to use it from the command line.
The fix was to set those permissions bits back, with chmod:
$ chmod a-x /PATH/TO/android-studio/plugins/Kotlin/kotlinc/bin/*
This probably isn't a super common cause for this symptom, but hopefully it will be helpful to someone else. :-) I certainly didn't remember making that change, though once I spotted it I know exactly why I made it.
You can found the files in the android-sdk folder, and delete those files, and check your permission of the folder(android-sdk, build-tools, tools), if your can write, and download again.
I solve the issue.
I had the same error when upgrading from 3.1.x to 3.5.x. What worked for me was downloading the new Android Studio image from https://developer.android.com/studio and installing it (when asking me if I want to replace the old version I said yes). Everything seems to work fine now.
I also had the same error when upgrading from 3.5 to 3.6, I managed to solve this without losing any sdk platforms and virtual machines in avd by installing the latest version of android,First Export the settings and then delete the two folders ".AndroidStudio3.x" in home directory and the "android-studio" in /usr/local or /opt directory, then download the zip file of latest version of android studio and move the "android-studio" folder to /usr/local or /opt. Now run the /android-studio/bin/studio.sh and import the settings,Now Latest version will be installed.
I got this error when I was trying to upgrade Android Studio using a different user account to the account that installed Android Studio (the account had admin privileges). When I switched to the account which installed Android Studio I was able to upgrade without this problem happening.
I have had a similar issue and solved it. Some documents were encrypted by the software installed on my PC, so updating to Android Studio 3.6 was not possible (in fact every update I have the same issue).
To solve it, just find those files in the Android Studio installation folder (probably Program Files/Android) and decrypt it. After that, you should be good to go. I hope it helps!

In Android Studio, I am getting the following error when trying to run my app on an Android device:
The specified Gradle distribution 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.2-bin.zip' does not exist.
All my Android Studio projects are affected by this and restoring them to older commits does not change anything.
The problems all started by following the advice given here: Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.1-all.zip'
I deleted everything in my /.gradle/wrapper/dists/ folder. Now, I get the above error and I do not see how to solve it.
Here is how to reproduce it with Android Studio 2021.1.1 on Windows (but be warned: this might corrupt your projects, too):
Delete everything in /.gradle/wrapper/dists/
Create a new project "Test" in Android Studio (this might take a while, since gradle-7.2-bin.zip will be downloaded in the dists folder)
The project builds and runs without errors
Close Android Studio
Delete everything in /.gradle/wrapper/dists/ again
Open project "Test" in Android Studio
Try to run
Now you should get the above mentioned error.
At this point, /.gradle/wrapper/dists/ is still empty. Now you can do the following:
run gradlew tasks in Terminal in the Project Folder of "Test" (this will take a while, since gradle-7.2-bin.zip will be downloaded in the dists folder again)
run gradlew build (everything should build without errors)
But clicking on "Run" still yields the same error.
I am getting the impression that this is an AndroidStudio / IntelliJ bug.
Can anyone help me with this?
Running Android Studio as Administrator solved the problem for me
It turned out my Android Studio installation was heavily corrupted. Simply, uninstalling it and installing it again also did not help.
I basically had to do everything that was suggested here: How to completely uninstall Android Studio from windows(v10)? and delete everything related to Android Studio. I installed it again and now everything is fine again.
I do not know what the problem was. Maybe the .m2 folder, maybe the Jetbrains folder.
My advice to everyone facing the same issue:
First try around deleting caching folders. If nothing helps, go for the brute force approach and follow the answers (not only the accepted answer) of the above mentioned StackOverflow question.
After clean install of Android Studio I always get the error
Error:java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException:
java.lang.RuntimeException: No server to serve request. Check logs for
details.
and
Error:Execution failed for task ':Application:mergeDebugResources'.
Error: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.RuntimeException: No server to serve request. Check logs for details.
Java is up to date and the path is set.
I am new to Android Studio, what should I try?
We ran into the same issue, and have been able to find the root cause: The error message means that Gradle cannot connect to some worker processes. In our case, the process was for 'aapt2'. Running 'ldd aapt2' indicated that some shared libraries were missing (mainly GLIBC). Since we're using Docker based on Alpine Linux, it comes with a reduced GLIBC (glibc-musl). The solution was to simply install glibc in the Docker container.
I suggest you run ldd build-tools/{version}/aapt2
to see which libraries are missing from the OS. You did not mention your OS, are you also using Docker and AlpineLinux ?
In my case, I did not need to re-download the sdk. I closed Android Studio and ran the following command in the Terminal:
sudo chmod 777 -R ~/Desktop/AndroidStudio
...where, ~/Desktop/AndroidStudio was the folder structure after Root which I needed to mention in order to provide permission to read all the SDK packages and perform required operation as and when necessary by the Android Studio, because my Sdk folder was inside "~/Desktop/AndroidStudio".
I am running Android Studio 3.0.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. This worked for me perfectly :-)
This error occurred because you might have accidentally remove the executable flag from aapt2 which is located in $ANDROID_HOME/build-tools/27.0.2.
Try this:
Re-download the sdk (recommended)
followed by-
sudo chmod 777 -R $ANDROID_HOME
Note:
$ANDROID_HOME is the location where I put android sdk
Hope this helps !!
Had to uninstall Android studio and delete the following
SDK folder in AppData folder
Delete .gradle folder
delete .AndroidStudio Projects folder
and did a fresh install which solved .
I had this problem on lubuntu-16 32bit (and also some other problems too). all of the problems were solved when I updated my system to lubuntu-16 64-bit.
Here how I fixed this Issue:
1.Deleted .gradle folder.
2.Closed android studio and run as administrator.
On Start android studio will rebuild the folder you deleted.
sudo chmod 777 -R $ANDROID_HOME
Note: $ANDROID_HOME is the location where you put android sdk
Hope this helps !!
If it is possible for you, please delete the build folder of project and test building android project with any other version of build-tools.
in my case, build-tools version: 26.0.2 had problem, I tested with 27.0.3 and it solved my problem unbelievably :)
I ran into the same problem, and it turned out I had messed up the file permissions inside the android-sdk folder (more specifically android-sdk/build-tools/{version}), and some binaries were missing execution permissions.
In my case, I simply gave x permissions to the relevant files in that directory, but if you're not sure, I suggest you uninstall the android sdk, completely remove its directory and then reinstall it again.
So after investigating the issue for long , I have a concrete solution .
Let`s look into it.
Go to Android Studio -> Help -> Show Log In Files
In the subsequent folder that opens, open idea.log
This would present you with a log file which contains logs of processes right from when the studio started. Now in this file, you have to search for the possible issue. For some the issue might be due to
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/home/mmt/Android-Sdk/android-sdk-linux_x86/emulator/emulator-check": error=13, Permission denied
For some others, it may be some other. The point is that this file contains lot of irrelevant logs and you have to identify the one that is causing this issue. For me , after discovering the above issue, I granted permission to that particular folder using the below commands
cd $ANDROID_HOME/sudo chmod -R 777 emulator/
After this, rebuild your project and tadaaa.. problem resolved.
for me it was a virus that corrupted my files from the "build tools" folder. so I uninstalled everything and made a new installation of android studio, SDK and build tools.
For me, this is the side effect of another issue that I haven't root caused yet. Every once in a while, I get aapt2 failures because some file /tmp/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 is "busy", with the following error message.
AAPT err(Facade for 1745790725): cp: cannot create regular file '/tmp/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2': Text file busy
Slave 1745790725 failed to start java.lang.RuntimeException: AAPT slave failed to start. Please make sure the current build tools (located at ~/.../android-sdk-linux/build-tools/27.0.3/aapt2) are not corrupted.
When this happens I just rm that file and everything starts working again. I suspect this might be caused by me actually having two installs of adb (one through ubuntu via apt and one from Android studio) but I haven't had time to dive deeper.
I already had latest version of build-tool installed, so I just had to give permission to Android_home:
chmod 777 -R $ANDROID_HOME
and build again. This worked for me.
If you are on Windows 10 (sigh), close android studio and then right click on android studio icon and select 'Run as Administrator' from 'more' menu.
Build again.
You can run Android Studio as Admin.
I hope it will help you.
To Do So :
Right click
choose Run as Administrator
Best regards,
In the past I could download and install Android SDK separately. I cannot find it any more on Google's Developer site, only Android Studio, which supposedly contains the SDK too (?). When starting the Android Studio it looks for the SDK.
I installed the Ubuntu (I'm using 16.10 Yakkety Yak) repo's Android SDK, that didn't help much because it is in /usr/lib/android-sdk with root privileges and Android Studio disses it. Now I'm scratching my head how I going to scrape all of that off as soon as I find out where can I install an SDK from.
I did check at least 2-3 Stack Overflow Questions on the topic, but all of them seems to be outdated, so please be very careful to mark this as a duplicate.
I have to add that I had both the SDK and the Studio installed before on my system. That turns out to be crucial info.
Are the "command-line tools" at https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#downloads what you're looking for?
Go to https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#linux-bundle and download the zip file. Extract it into your home directory(or anywhere inside your home directory).
Move into that extracted files directory, open up bin folder. You'll see a file[script] named studio.sh. Run that and Android will automatically start downloading the SDK.
Alternatively:
Set your ANDROID_HOME environment variable to /usr/lib/android-sdk:
vim /home/user/.profile
Add
export ANDROID_HOME="/usr/lib/android-sdk"
Well, after wiping the .Android-Studio-2.x and .android directories form my home, Android Studio offered the installation of the SDK. So the cause was leftover of previous installs, I haven't mentioned that fully in my question.
Anybody knows how to get around this issue while launching Android Studio?

It looks like you have a corrupted installation file - completely uninstall Android Studio and download it again from the website.
Install the newly downloaded version of Android Studio on your system - the one you had previously downloaded is likely corrupt.
Here are the instructions to uninstall Android Studio completely. Note that some files may be located in a different location depending on where you chose to install and the versions you've been using so if something is not in its normal place, please let me know.
Please follow all of the steps below in order.
Run the uninstaller
The first step is to run the uninstaller. Open Control Panel by accessing it from the menu when you right-click the Start Button (This applies for Windows 8 systems). Then, under Programs, select Uninstall a Program. After that, click on Android Studio and press Uninstall. If you have multiple versions, uninstall them as well.
After you have uninstalled Android Studio, it is recommended that you restart before proceeding with the steps below.
Remove the Android Studio files
To delete any remains of Android Studio setting files, in Windows Explorer (The file browser in Windows), type this as the File Path:
C:\Users[YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME]
Replacing [YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME] with the username of your account on Windows. If you don't know your username, navigate to C:\Users and it will list all users on the system.
Here, delete .android, .AndroidStudio and any versions of this directory with versions on the end, .gradle and .m2.
Then, go to
C:\Users\Harry[YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME]\Roaming
and delete the JetBrains directory.
Finally, go to
C:\Program Files
and delete the Android directory.
Remove the SDK
To delete any remains of the SDK, in Windows Explorer, type this in as the File Path:
C:\Users[YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME]\AppData\Local
Here, delete the Android directory.
(Optional) Delete all previous projects
If you want to delete any of your previous projects, the directory where your projects are found is the AndroidStudioProjects directory. It is located in your root user file, C:\Users[YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME].
Hopefully this will now have deleted the Android Studio files and you can now try reinstalling the tools.
If you have any problems doing so, give me a shout :)
1st step please disconnect your internet connection and restart the studio.
If it is not working??? Do the following steps.
Open the folder bin under the directory where you installed your Android Studio.
Find the file idea.properties and open it with Notepad++/UltraEdit/other_edit_tools.
Add disable.android.first.run=true as the final line and save the file.
Restart Android Studio.
Remove lib folder .local/share/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/marketplace
or execute command
rm -rf ~/.local/share/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/marketplace/lib
To recover from this state, you need to remove the "python" folder that you find here:
~./AndroidStudio1.2/config/plugins
(Found at https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=164202, worked for me)
I have this problem in android studio in linux OS after install a plugin,i resolved this issue with deleted.AndroidStudio3.2 folder from Home Directory and other way you can go to this directory and delete the plugin that caused it .
Directory : /home/your system's name/.AndroidStudio3.2/config/plugins .
and for windows OS you must go to this Directory :
C:\Users\your system's name.AndroidStudioPreview3.2\config\plugins
Note : this directory is hidden and you must visible befor use it .
I did faced this issue too, where it says to do this in my windows 10:
please report to https://code.google.com/p/android/issues in a windows error message.
It happened when i added some plugins in Android studio in Windows.
It persisted in my machine until i opened my Android Studio as an administrator and then uninstalled the most recent Plugins from File > Settings > Plugins > Installed Plugins.
What went wrong may be I added many plugins and applied all of them at once. May be i should have added one plugin at a time. Like install a plugin > apply that plugin and restart my Android Studio IDE in order to see it's effects.
MacOS
My issue was with a plugin. I tried all sorts of ways of deleting Android folders using terminal. Nothing was working for me until I searched all instances of AndroidStudio in Finder and deleted each of them. After reinstalling everything worked great!
I solved it by removing an incompatile plugin located here: ~\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1\plugins.
I deleted the folder "marketplace"
Open the folder bin under the directory where you installed your Android Studio.
Find the file idea.properties and open it with Notepad++/UltraEdit/other_edit_tools.
Add disable.android.first.run=true as the final line and save the file.
Restart Android Studio.
It information helped for me
<<~ ~ ~ Quick Solution for Windows 10, Hope it will help ~ ~ ~>>
Download the latest Android Studio from the official website
Uninstall the existing Android Studio from your computer. NB: Remove Settings Preferences too while uninstalling.
Restart your computer
Install the newly downloaded Android Studio
Delete the old directories which will show when run the Android Studio the first time after installation of the new Android Studio.
NB: Do not remove your SDK files after uninstalling the Android Studio, if you want to save your time in installing the Android Studio.
I have solved this problem, depending on the system you use delete the following files:
Linux:

find Google folder and delete it
Open Android Studio
Enjoy !!
delete paid plugin in android studio plugin folder (C:\Users\your_computer_name\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1\plugins) and will work correctly. it works for me.
paid plugin should have to activate otherwise it will conflict.
1) Go to
'C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\Google\'
2) Delete folder
'AndroidStudio4.1'
3) Then restart Android studio.
I hope this works for you.
I came with a new solution. Instead of uninstalling Android Studio and removing all related folders and losing your programming state on Android studio, and beside all these wasting your time, you should try this solution first which worked for me:
In my case the problem was the Windows. As it has crashed recently, I figured out the problem could be it, so I decided to restore the windows to the most recent point before Android Studio crashed. But the system restore tool didn't allow me to restore my system at all, and it said I should repair missing or corrupted system files first.
I first used Microsoft System File Checker tool thread to fix the case, and guess what? after restarting the windows 10, all problems gone. No need for uninstalling the Android Studio or removing any plugins or even restoring the windows to an stable state.
Hope this work for you too.

DELETE ALL ALL ANDROID STDIO VERSION AND BACKUP RELATED FOLDER
3rd Start again android studio
Android Studio (1.2 RC0) keeps telling me
Error running android: Gradle project sync failed. Please fix your project and try again.
How can I find out what the problem is? Unfortunately the solutions from this SO thread did not help.
Goto File -> Invalidate caches / Restart
Shutdown Android Studio
Rename/remove .gradle folder in the user home directory
Restart Android Studio (It will download gradle metadata and data)
Gradle build succeed
Rebuild project. Done.
Solution is
Connect your computer to the internet
Click
Sync project with Gradle files
On toolbar
It will automatically sync the gradle.
Just ignore the error and try running the project anyway.
It will fail, but this time you will get a link in the error description. Clicking the link will trigger the automatic update/download of the outdated/missing component.
In my scenario, the project failed to launch two times, each time another API/SDK component being the culprit.
In my case I was just trying to launch a sample project I downloaded, having no clue what API level was being targeted or where to look for this information.
Download the latest Gradle package distribution for example (gradle-2.11-all.zip).
Extract this zip file in a folder as for example (D://Gradle)
Load your project in Android Studio and go to File->Settings->Gradle. Click on Use local Gradle distribution and point it to the folder where you unzipped the latest Gradle project.
Restart your project
It is a very common issue and the solution is very easy...
Just update the SDK in SDK manager(see full instructions below)
Open Android Studio and go to your SDK Manager(File>Settings>SDK
Manager)
Check for (-) icon in front of any package and click on it.
Click OK to start updating the SDK.
Thanks for asking that question :)
Delete "build" folder from project's root folder. Then do "invalidate cache and restart". This will restart your Android Studio and then build the app again, will solve the issue.
Go to
file->settings->build,execution,deployment->gradle.
(and set gradle home path from your directory)
If no error messages are shown: sometimes the command-line gradle shows them. Just go the the command-line, change to the app directory and type
gradle installDebug
or, if the details are missing
gradle --info installDebug
This can provide additional information how to debug the problem.
I had the same issue yesterday. After opening the "Android SDK Manager", updating all packages and restarting Android Studio, the project compiled again.
For me, the problem was the SDK Tools License had not been accepted. Clicking on the "Build" tab at the bottom uncovered the issue.
From there, I went into the AVD, uninstalled the tools and then reinstalled them, which prompted to accept the license.
All of these have not worked for me, what did is reading the very bottom of the log file located around here
C:\Users\madri\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2020.3\log\idea.log
and it said the following
So i fixed the problem by going into Tools > SDK Manager and installing the required SDK version
it looks different from one situation to another.
for me i did an installation and update a lot of things that the sdk manager said to then i had this problem.
all i did was:
from file -> Invalidate caches/Restart
(a dialog will pop-up) choose Invalidate and restart.
after the restart is done. everything was fixed but i needed to create a new emulator and delete the old one.
(android studio 1.3.1)

Here everything was fine, but your machines also needs restart because some system files are changed, to sync them we have to restart the system.
This could be due to Android Studio version conflict of v3 and v4 especially when you import a project in android stdio v4 which was previously built in v3.
Here are the few things you need to do:
remove the .gradle and .idea folders from the main Application folder.
import the project in the android studio.
after the sync finished, it will ask you to update the android studio supported version.
click update.
done.
I had the exact same error message
Error running android: Gradle project sync failed. Please fix your project and try again
Steps to solve:
Close Android Studio.
Remove the .gradle and .idea folders from the Application folder.
Open Android studio with your project.
After these steps android studio gradle will sync and download the required files to run the project (don't forget to disable offline mode).
I got this error going from Gradle 3.5.3 to 5.4.1 (Android Studio prompted and I clicked "Upgrade".)
Gradle proceeded to upgrade but yielded some errors such as:
ONFIGURE SUCCESSFUL in 1m 27s
ERROR: The Android Gradle plugin supports only Crashlytics Gradle plugin version 1.25.4 and higher.
The following dependencies do not satisfy the required version:
root project 'Android%20App' -> io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.25.1
Update plugins
Affected Modules: app
INFO: API 'variant.getExternalNativeBuildTasks()' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'variant.getExternalNativeBuildProviders()'.
It will be removed at the end of 2019.
For more information, see https://d.android.com/r/tools/task-configuration-avoidance.
To determine what is calling variant.getExternalNativeBuildTasks(), use -Pandroid.debug.obsoleteApi=true on the command line to display more information.
Affected Modules: app
INFO: The specified Android SDK Build Tools version (27.0.3) is ignored, as it is below the minimum supported version (28.0.3) for Android Gradle Plugin 3.5.3.
Android SDK Build Tools 28.0.3 will be used.
To suppress this warning, remove "buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'" from your build.gradle file, as each version of the Android Gradle Plugin now has a default version of the build tools.
Install Build Tools 28.0.3, update version in build file and sync project
Affected Modules: app
The thing that fixed it was opening Settings --> Appearance & Behavior --> System Settings --> Android SDK and I then selected some recent versions of Android SDK like 8, 9, and 10. (I had only had 5.1, 6.0, and Android N Preview installed.)
Once that's installed, I had to modify my build.gradle file for my Module: app
Removed buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'
Then I clicked the "Sync Project with Gradle Files" button on the toolbar. The Sync output window offered an option to "Update Plugins" and once I clicked through that everything seemed to work. For good measure I again clicked "Sync Project with Gradle Files" followed by Build --> Clean Project, and finally I was able to run my project again.
Resolution is simple. Open the "Android SDK Manager", update all packages and then restart your Android Studio. After that you project should compile without any issues.
It took me some time to resolve this.
Updated SDK Build-Tool [Didn't help]
Updated CMake [Didn't help]
Updated Android SDK Platform-Tools [Didn't help]
Updated Android SDK Tools [Didn't help]
Updated NDK [Problem solved]
There was a reason, I didn't want to update NDK. When all else failed, I updated NDK and that did the trick.
If your got timeout, Check Gradle Scripts -> gradle.properties in Android Studio, I found that I do have set a socket proxy in Android Studio settings, but in this gradle.properties file, my proxy became to http, so I just removed this http proxy setting lines, and finally works.
I got this problem on Android studio, there in either sync or build square were this link like blue text about this issue, press that button and it download something that fix this problem
I ran into the same issue, but then did the following, and my issue was resolved:
updated Gradle
installed the latest version of Android studio (mine was out of date)
And that solved my problem.
Note: It also helped me to click on the event log, because it has more detailed info about errors. https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin#updating-plugin also has great info.
I've installed Android SDK Command-Line Tools from SDK Manager and after, juste Sync again and all is worked well.
it was hard to solve but i did it
look go to
C:\Users(user name)
delete .gradle file
its you didn't see it it may be in hidden files so if you use windows 7
right click then click on properties and click on hidden to be not checked
then the file will appear then delete it
i hope this works
It could be that you are using gradle in offline mode.
To uncheck it go to File > Settings > Gradle, uncheck the Offline Work checkbox, and click Apply
Make sure you have internet connection and sync the project again.
Its because the gradle is not synced because of many reasons.
Go to project folder and remove .gradle folder and start sync. It will work
Apparently, some platforms could be missing. This is how I solved the problem:
Do you see an error message that is shown at the bottom of your Android Studio window? It could be a smaller window on the bottom right also.., which looks like:
Now, Click on that blue link, do as the dialog boxes say (if any)...
That solved the problem. Hope it helps...
Download grade files from this url and extract all in a folder:
https://gradle.org/releases
Open file -> Setting in windows OS or Preferences in mac OS and in "Build, Execution, Deployment"
Click on "Gradle"
Check “Use local cradle distribution” and give that extracted folder path.
Run gradle.bat for Windows OS and gradle file for mac OS in that folder.
Then check “Offline work”.
"your extracted folder path"/gradle-4.10.2/bin/.gradle (for version 4.1.2 you can set your version)
Press OK and enjoy it.
I had the exact same error message
Error running android: Gradle project sync failed. Please fix your project and try again
, but if none of the above fixes your error, then I would highly suggest for you to check your syntax inside the AndroidManifest.xml file.
That fixed if for me. I don't understand why the error-message is so misleading, since it had nothing to do with the build gradle directly.
Please also see this SO-answer here, which has lead many of us in the right direction.
It was yelling at me about a line in my xml file (which was perfectly valid and never had problems the entire time I've worked on the project). I deleted the line and even after running again and cleaning and rebuilding it kept yelling at me about the completely blank line. I restarted android studio and removed the .gradle folder and it finally worked. Hopefully someone in my shoes that had all of the other answers in this thread fail them will see this answer and save a few hours.
I had this problem (clicked a prompt to "sync with gradle" on my perfectly valid and working project and it killed everything) and I researched for hours trying to figure out how to fix this, including this thread among many others. I finally found my solution, so hopefully, it'll help somebody (and hopefully they fix this terrible system)
I encountered this in a unique situation: had refactored the word "time" to "distance" for one of my variables. And when I did the refactor, accidentally had it change the name of one of my gradle dependencies / implementations.
This is a rare cause of the error, but a possibility. So make sure all your dependencies are properly implemented in build.gradle
Delete .gradle folder(root directory) and build folder(project directory) and then invalidate caches/restart android studio, run your project again hopefully it will work. It might take some time for the background tasks. In some countries, you may need to turn on the VPN to download.
