Android studio Gradle Tab - android

I've started to work on an android project that has many Gradle tasks. After cloning the project from git, there is no Gradle tab in Android Studio!


Hit Ctrl+Shift+A (for Win/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+A (for Mac) and type "Gradle". And click on "Gradle" item in the list.


I had to do the following (Windows):
go to File -> settings
change keymap to windows
Ctrl+Shift+A
search gradle and choose sync project with grade file


In a flutter project, it would not show when I opened the root folder, but if I opened the android folder underneath the root flutter folder, then the Gradle window appeared.
Most notably, Gradle did NOT appear as an option under View -> Tool Windows until I opened the correct folder.


If you downloaded a project but gradle did not exist inside it
You can copy the required files, such as gradle, from within another project
But if you mean, gradle tab is not visible at the right of the page
You can give new settings to the Android studio ->file->import settings -> choose your own settings.jar or you can enable this gradle tab from ->view->tool windows -> choose gradle

If it has build.gradle file you can run gradle task from command line if you set path to gradle in your system path or you can have it set locally in project on which you are working on. Android studio has also on option to edit/add run configuration where you can also select what you want to do or run.
To list all possible tasks run command gradle tasks


I ran into this too. All the other answers assume you have Gradle installed and it's just a matter of finding it. This is what worked for me.
Open the build.gradle file in android/app/src/
There should be a small bar at the top of the code-editor. Click Open for Editing in Android Studio
That then will download and install Gradle into Android Studio, so you'll see the Gradle tab on the right.


For me going to the Build > Select Build Variant... and changing to some other active build variant showed Gradle tab


Your project should contain build.gradle file and if it is there then, there is gradle navigation tab on the right side in your android studio. When you click it, it will show you the tasks available and you can run your gradle tasks from there.

Run Configuration signingReport option missing Android Studio

I am using Android Studio Arctic Fox | 2020.3.1 Canary 14 Build and one of my project has missing option in Gradle Build tab which we used for instantly getting app signing for debug, I thought it was remove in this new IDE version but upon opening another project it was still there. Only app module and its list of dependency are being shown.

Following solved my problem.
I am using Android Studio Arctic Fox.
Goto File>Settings
Look for Experimental
Under Gradle section in Experimental: Look for "Do not build Gradle task list during Gradle sync". Un-check the option.
"Apply" then "OK"
Sync the Gradle
You'll find your signingReport option available.

please follow these steps:
1- Open 'Edit Run/Debug configuration dialogue' -> beside run app icon.
2- click edit configuration.
3- click + (add) at left then add gradle.
4- in configuration tab 1- select gradle project 2- write in tasks "signingReport"
5- apply then close.
enter image description here

Edit configuration page opens when I "run" android project

Why I am not able to run an android project while it syncs properly and I have defined the sdk version? Still I get Please select android sdk and "edit configuration" window opens.
As you can see, API 27 is installed.

Add SDK Location in your local.properties file as below
sdk.dir=C\:\\Users\\Aditya\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk
If correct location already present. Try following options
Add that SDK location to user environment variable ANDROID_HOME
Sync gradle with project files
Clean and Rebuild Android Project
Close Android Project, Remove project name from list, restart android studio and add project again and Sync and rebuild project
Edit 1
Try with File -> Invalidate Caches -> Invalidate,
Delete .gradle and .idea folder in Project
Delete .AndroidStudio3.1 folder from Home directory [take backup if you want]
Then close project from Android Studio, and Remove project from List.
Try to start again

Have the same issues with Android Studio 3.1.x, especially when using Gradle Kotlin DSL. I recommend you to:
Remove project from Android Studio left menu. Just press cross.
Close Android studio
Re-import project.
If this won't help try to use Android Studio 3.2 Beta, its more stable. If this won't help either try to remove caches or re-clone project.

I did : Android Studio -> File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files and it works

How do I "select Android SDK" in Android Studio?

After a successful import of an Eclipse-Android-Project into "Android Studio 1.4", I get the error
"Please select Android SDK"
when I click on the button to run the application in the simulator, I can't find any way of doing that.
This dialog opens when I click on "run":
This is the "project structure" dialog:
What should I do now?

I go to build.gradle and click sync now. Then it worked.
Update :
File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files (Android Studio 3.1.1)
Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files (Android Studio 3.0.1)
Or You can click on the icon from the toolbar.
This answer may not help works for later version as Android studio Team work on making the tool more better, the way to sync may be different in the next version of Android Studio.
COMMON WAY that may helps is try to sync project and then Invalidate Caches and Restart Android Studio.
Solution for Android Studio 3.1.2 [See below answer]
See Latest Android Studio version

FIX FOR 3.1.2 OR NEWER VERSIONS
Some of my colleagues and I have faced the same issue on AS 3.1.2, but a simple Sync didn't help us. For us, the solution was a bit different:
File -> Invalidate Caches -> Invalidate
File -> Close Project.
Remove the project from the AS project selector window.
Quit from Android Studio
Start AS and open project again
EXTRA ADVICE IF YOU ARE FACING THIS ISSUE CONSTANTLY
Some of you are constantly facing this issue, and this "solution" fixes it only temporarily. At the time we started getting this error, we used gradle wrapper 4.6 and Android gradle plugin 3.1.0, but since then we went back to gradle 4.4 and we use it with the latest Android gradle plugin, and we haven't seen this issue since then.

In Android Studio 3 and above, for Windows, Mac and Linux:
File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files
Solved!
Or you can do this by shortcut key:
Press ⌘ + Shift + A (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + A (Windows, Linux). Then pop-up a Edit-Text and write "Sync Project with Gradle Files". Then press double click on the option.
Your problem is solved! It'll sync your gradle file with your project file.
Screenshot:

Click this icon to sync gradle
or edit any of your module gradle and then sync

Press "Ctrl+shift+A" and in the pop-up EditText, write "Sync Project with Gradle Files". After that double click on the appeared option. It will then sync your Gradle file SDK with the project file.

Just go to the (app level) build.gradle file, give an empty space somewhere and click on sync, once gradle shows sync complete then the Error will be gone

This is the easiest way to fix this issue:
Add a comment line to the gradle file
It will then ask you to Sync.
Click 'Sync Now'
Viola! You're done.

Now on Android Studio 3 and above, you can try to sync project with gradle like:
File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files

The menu structure and options have changed slightly as of Android 3.2.0. I fixed this error by changing the Module SDK in the following menu:
File > Project Structure > Modules > App File > Dependencies Tab > Module SDK
Make sure to hit Apply to save your changes.

The comment from #Nisarg helped: "set latest version in Compile Sdk Version"
I changed from API 8 to API 23 and the error message disappeared.

Press the first refresh button on the gradle vertical tab in Android Studio on the right

Press " ⌘ + Shift + A" on Mac (or "Ctrl+Shift+A" on Windows) and in the pop-up EditText, write "Sync Project with Gradle Files". After that double click on the appeared option. It will then sync your Gradle file SDK with the project file.

Follow these steps:
Goto Android Studio Settings
Search for "Android SDK" using search bar
Ensure the path to your android sdk folder is correct.
After that also ensure the path is automatically updated after a prompt in your project (local.properties) file. If not, do it manually.
Hope this helps.

There are multiple hit & trial solutions for this error. One of them will surely work for you.
Below are the solutions:
1.
Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files (Android Studio
3.0.1)
Go to build.gradle and click sync now
Click hammer(Build) icon to sync Gradle
or edit any of your module Gradle and then sync
File -> Settings -> Android SDK -> Android SDK Location Edit ->
Android SDK
Open build.gradle file, just add a space or press enter. Then sync
project.
File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart

Go to File >> ProjectStructure(⌘;). This would open this window then select the app module. Then choose the Compile SDK version . Choose the latest one and click apply.

I was having this problem on all versions of AS 3.0+. Syncing with gradle did not solve the problem for me. The solution from András Klöczl was the only thing that would allow me to get some coding done. The problem was, anytime I had to do a gradle sync, the problem came back. So I had to go through that process any time I wanted to make a change in my build.gradle. What ended up working for me was to downgrade my kotlin version from 1.2.40 to 1.2.30

My problem was that if I changed the project (for example opened new window of Android Studio with different project) this error happened.
So I read every answer in this question and the "clear caches and open the project again" solution wasn't so useful in my case.
Instead I discovered that if the Kotlin's plugin's version in Android Studio was lower than in gradle file, the problem appeared.
My setup was:
Android Studio 3.1.3
Kotlin plugin (in Android Studio) 1.2.30
Kotlin version in gradle file 1.2.51
What fixed the problem?
I updated the Kotlin plugin:
File -> Settings -> Plugins -> Install JetBrains plugin...
Then search for Kotlin and click Update. After update just restart the Android Studio and sync Gradle.

Just change build tools version to 25.0.3.. and sync now
I hope it will help..

This worked for me.
File -> Settings -> Android SDK -> Android SDK Location Edit -> Android SDK

Go to : File > Project Structure > Modules -> app > Properties
please choose : Compile 'SDK' version = API26 Build Tools
Version = 27.0.0 Source Compatibility = 1.8 Target Compatibility =
1.8

open build.gradle file. just add a space or press enter. then sync project. it works...

Sometimes android studio just acts stupid and needs some kind of reset..
Go to settings.gradle file it should contain include ':app'
change it to include ':ap' and sync.
after sync, change it to include ':app' again.
It should be working OK now.

The simplest solution for this problem:
First make sure your sdk path is currect.
Then
Please close current project and in android startup menu click on import project and choose your project from explorer.
This will always solve my problem

In my case there there is no selected java sdk version in project structure-
I had to select the -
1.Source Compatibility (1.7)
2.Target Compatibility (1.7)
as shown in image.

If you are using 'Profile or Debug APK...', then you might come across this error.
My solution is to first check SDK for updates in SDK manager: click on "Edit" at the right side of SDK location and go through to install any updates:
Then I clicked on "Logcat" at bottom of Android Studio and find out I also need to configure Android SDK, so choose latest Android API Platform:
After that, I'm able to run the APK in Emulator.

In latest android studio 3.3.2 the icon of sync project with Gradle Files is changed
Now try this
File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files (Android Studio 3.3.2)

For Android Studio 3.5, "File -> Sync project with gradle files" is enough.

Go to gradle.build file and click sync now
OR
click icon on Sync project with Gradle file
OR
Go to Tools-> Android -> Sync project with Gradle file

If your android SDK path is given and still you facing this issue then it might because your android studio not synced well, even you have clicked on "Sync now" link.
So for re sync it go to app gradle file and make any change or just give a space and now sync again. It will work perfectly.

In my case I downloaded a git repository for an android project. The project required minimum sdk version 21 and target sdk version 27. When I tried to run the project it gave me "Please select Android SDK error". I checked that I had already downloaded the required sdk files.
For me the solution was to "sync project with Gradle Files"

Syncing Android Studio project with Gradle files

I was working on a project, and then I got a prompt to update Android Studio. After I did that, I started getting this error when trying to run my app
It says
The project may need to be synced with Gradle files
How do I solve this?

EDIT
Starting with Android Studio 3.1, you should go to:
File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files
OLD
Clicking the button 'Sync Project With Gradle Files' should do the trick:
Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files
If that fails, try running 'Rebuild project':
Build -> Rebuild Project

Old Answer
When trying to run the application, instead of selecting the directory highlighted here in blue
I selected the subdirectory instead
and clicked "run".All the issues with Gradle are automatically resolved and the missing apk directory is automatically created.
New Solution
The Sync project with gradle files button disappeared from Android Studio for a while.Its back and you can find it here:
hit the button and wait for the task to complete

I've had this problem after installing the genymotion (another android amulator) plugin.
A closer inspection reveled that gradle needs SDK tools version 19.1.0 in order to run (I had 19.0.3 previously).
To fix it, I had to edit build.gradle and under android I changed to: buildToolsVersion 19.1.0
Then I had to rebuild again, and the error was gone.

Keys combination:
Ctrl + F5
Syncs the project with Gradle files.

The gradle versions in android studio and your code is not the same. This is why even after you update the gradle version on android studio, the error still persist.
So, edit the Gradle distribution reference in the gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file:
distributionUrl = https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip
Ref: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin.html#updating-gradle

I am using Android Studio 4 developing a Fluter/Dart application. There does not seem to be a Sync project with gradle button or file menu item, there is no clean or rebuild either.
I fixed the problem by removing the .idea folder. The suggestion included removing .gradle as well, but it did not exist.

i had this problem yesterday. can you folow the local path in windows explorer?
(C:\users\..\AndroidStudioProjects\SharedPreferencesDemoProject\SharedPreferencesDemo\build\apk\)
i had to manually create the 'apk' directory in '\build', then the problem was fixed

error running build target module is undefined

I have just installed Android Studio and when I'm trying to build I get this message:
error running build
target module is undefined

Go Run -> Edit Configurations...
Check Android Application (on the left)
Select your project
In the General tab slect a module (your app)
That worked for me

Today I had the same problem, these steps worked for me:
Close Android Studio
Edit local.properties in project folder, set sdk.dir path to the original android-sdk path which eclipse uses (ie. sdk.dir=c:\Users\Foo\android-sdks)
Load project again, a dialog appears which asks if you really want to use the other path, click yes. if it still does not work, then
Close Android Studio again
Edit local.properties again and set the path back to the original path
Load the project again, the dialog appears again, select yes
My project has been loaded correctly now, maybe it will also work for others, weird problem ;-)

Click Help -> Check For Update

In Android Studio Edit Configuration section look for Android Application. Then in the module select your app name. By default if project is imported this will be DEFAULT. Change this with your app name rebuild the app with gradle build and everything else will be good to go. Hope this helps.

Try to run the gradlew.bat file. This file will try to build your project. When the execution fail will prompt you the version of building tools your sdk miss. Install this version and your project will build.
gradlew.bat calls the environmental variable ANDROID_HOME which has to have as value the path of the android sdk, See from more information,
Android Studio Path (ANDROID-HOME) not able to set?
