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.

I'm using Android studio version 3.4.2 but the my project says: ERROR: This version of Android Studio cannot open this project, please retry with Android Studio 3.6 or newer.
But when I upgraded Android studio, I found some bugs that are terrible, which slows down my productivity. One of them is this: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/153711336
So, I downgraded Android Studio again to 3.4.2.
Then I tried changing the classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.4' to classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.2'
and also have changed distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.4-all.zip to distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip
just to run the project in the older Android studio. But then I see this error:
error: unexpected element <queries> found in <manifest>.
Seems like, it needs the latest build gradle.
I don't wanna upgrade Android studio again, just to upgrade build gradle. at least not until the layout editor bug is fixed. But I have to do run this project too. Now, I'm not sure what to do. Any solution?
Thanks
I am using intellij idea 2017.03 and I am using it for android developments. Currently when I create project it takes gradle version as 2.2.3. but current version is 4. So I am trying to make my project gradle version to latest one.
I tried to update it via build.gradle file, but it didn't work. I know that new android studio update will fix this, but in there release notes they have mentioned that Android studio built on intellij idea 2017.03. so how can I make it works?
This is the line you have, right:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'
Gradle classpath versions are different from the actual Gradle versions for some reason.
Change the version there to 3.1.4, and make sure you have the following line in gradle-wrapper.properties:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip
I have tried everything to update gradle in Android 1.5.1 under windows 10, but nothing worked... it keeps saying Gradle version 2.2 is required. Current version is 1.6.
Appreciate any input
Thanks
In your project folder, navigate to you gradle.properties file inside gradle > wrapper folder. Change the version to the lastest 2.12 and resync your project.
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.12-all.zip
Android Studio has a setting for ignoring the gradle version in the project and using a local distribution instead.
Under "Preferences" (or "Settings" on Windows) search for "Gradle" and select "Use default gradle wrapper" instead of "Use local gradle distribution.
Change to
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2-all.zip
Then File|New|import Project
I tried to reuse and existing code form github :

I'm opening it with Android Studio and import the project (as it's said on the git page). I'm eperiencing some troubles with gradle which I'm not familiar with.
At first Android Studio tells me that the gradle version used in the the project must be upgraded :
1.12 -> 1.3.
And then I have a message saying that "gradle dsl method not found 'jcenter()'"
Thanks in advance.
JCenter (jcenter()) was introduced by Gradle 1.7.
See Gradle 1.7 JCenter repository support.
Make sure to upgrade your Gradle to at least 1.7.
See "how to check the gradle version in my Android Studio?"
File->Project Structure->Project pane->"Android plugin version".
Make sure you don't confuse the Gradle version with the Android plugin version.
The former is the build system itself, the latter is the plugin to the build system that knows how to build Android projects
I'd like to use the latest version of Gradle in Android Studio. How do I check which version is used, and how do I upgrade to the latest one (if it is supported)? I would like to upgrade because I read that the latest version of Gradle improves build times.
You can check current Gradle version in Project Structure (File -> Project Structure...).
You can change default Gradle by using local distribution. However, I am not sure if Android Studio can support Gradle 2.4. Maybe you can have a try. Or you can change gradle-wrapper.properties directly.
