from a week I was updated my Android Studio version to stable version 4.0.0 then I am started getting this errors in my studio and unable to build the app.
Unable to save plugin settings: The plugin org.jetbrains.android failed to save settings and has been disabled. Please restart Android Studio
But I forcefully enabled all plugins in my Studio by going to File-->Settings-->Plugins --> All are enabled.
Select Embedded JDK in Android Studio
Try that:
delete the .idea folder in the android project folder where you faced this problem.
Close Android Studio. Now navigate to your projects .idea folder and rename the workspace.xml file to workspace-o.xml and delete a workspace.xml~ if it exists (i.e., AS has a corrupt workspace layout file).
This should fix the problem. Restart AS and configure the workspace back they way you like it (i.e., it will start with a simple view: View/Tools Windows/Project etc.).
I started my first project in Android Studio and my answer may not be the correct one. I ran into this problem during building the My Activity project. It always came back with this error asking me to restart. Finally I thought that the controlled folder file access is preventing me. I temporarily switched-off the protection(against Ransomware in Windows 10) and tried the Build. I stopped getting these messages. But, I have other problems I am looking into.
I deleted the .idea folder and then I invalidated the cache (file-> invalidate Cache/Restart)
This fixed my issue.
I updated android studio 2.3 and there is a bug, gradle doesn't build and it keeps giving me the same error for all projects.
Error:Failed to open zip file.
Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
I have already searched for a solution, but have not found any. I tried:
Invalidate Caches / Restart...
but nothing has changed.
Repair Gradle Installation
This usually happens when something goes wrong in Android Studio's first launch (eg. system crash, connection loss or whatever).
To resolve this issue close Android Studio and delete the following directory's content, necessary files will be downloaded on IDE's next launch.
macOS: ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists
Linux: ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists
Windows: C:\Users\your-username\.gradle\wrapper\dists
While downloading Gradle manually works, I recommend letting Android Studio do the work for you.
UPDATE 17 JULY 2018:
Even if the following solution still works as of today,I've found (thanks to the answer posted by Hamid Asghari and to the comment posted by Mahendra Dabi) that simply deleting the gradle dist directory and performing a reboot of the ide, will fix the issue (please read Hamid post for a full answer, and remember that OSX and Linux have the same gradle path).
If you still want to follow my original solution, you should at least consider using a more up-to-date version of Gradle (direct link of the gradle distribution repo: https://services.gradle.org/distributions/)
Original answer (dated 7 March 2017):
I've faced the same issue this morning after upgrading Android Studio to 2.3.
To solve the issue:
1) Manually download Gradle 3.3 binary (direct link: https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-bin.zip)
2) Open your android studio root directory, and extract the zip to the gradle folder (for example in my Debian machine the full path is /opt/android-studio/gradle/gradle-3.3)
3) Open Android Studio, go to File->Settings->Build, Exectution, Deployment->Gradle and set "Gradle home" to point your new gradle-3.3 folder.
4) Sync and you are ready to go!
I faced the same issue 2 days ago and today I was able to solve it like this:
Go to this path C:\Users\user_name\.gradle\wrapper\dists where user_name is your username if its you own PC or your company's name.
Delete the latest gradle-****-all files since your latest update of android studio (ex. 2.3 or another version).
If your android studio is open, close it then reopen it. A newer Gradle version will be downloaded, it will take time depending on your internet speed, the download size is around 150-200 MB before extraction so if android studio takes a long time to refresh just know its downloading. (To check the download progress right click on the new gradle folder, go to properties and check the size).
Find 'gradle-wrapper.properties' in root project
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip
Change "https" to "http".
There are Following Steps to solve this issue.
1. Go to C:\Users\ ~User Name~ \.gradle\wrapper\dists.
2. Delete all the files and folders from dists folder.
3. If Android Studio is Opened then Close any opened project and Reopen the project. The Android Studio Will automatic download all the required files.
(The required time is as per your Internet Speed (Download Size will be about "89 MB"). To see the progress of the downloading Go to C:\Users\ ~User Name~ \.gradle\wrapper\dists folder and check the size of the folder.)
just remove and reDownload wrapper gradle.
Mac Home/.gradle/wrapper/dists/
remove gradle version and sync gradle in project and run project.
Go to Project pane> Android > Gradle Scripts and open "graddle-wrapper.properties" file check the distribution URL:
Go to your ".gradle/wrapper/dists/" folder and remove that file for me it was "gradle-5.6.4-all"
Then go back to android studio and click on File > Sync Project with Gradle Files. And it will start to download again
****Following solution is working for me****
Manually deleted all files from C:\Users\Admin.gradle\wrapper\dists\
where Admin is my user name
Android Studio 4.1.1 has this bug,
In gradle-wrapper.properties
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-bin.zip
This won't download and always gives 'gradle cache corrupt' error, but a small change makes it work fine
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-all.zip
Now sync the gradle again and it's done.
1.Go to "/Users/****/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-.-all/*****".
2.Delete the "gradle-.-all.zip.lck" file.
3.Invalidate Cache and Restart.
you do not need to clean all files in dir
C:\Users\ ~User Name~ \.gradle\wrapper\dists.
and download all of them again
instead you can just delete the folder of gradle version you failed to download. In my case it was gradle-4.4-all so i just deleted that folder and android studio re downloaded gradle-4.4-all for me
In case you don't know version you was downloading:
Just go to help menu > show logs in explorer
their you will find idea.log open it and search for
Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distribution`
once you find it you will find gradle version you failed to download
This was the best solution for me, just follow this path C:\Users\yourusername.gradle\wrapper\dists then delete all the files inside this folder. Close your android studio and restart it and it will automatically download the updated gradle files.
I was upgrading gradle from 4.1 to 4.10 and my internet connection timed out.
So I fixed this issue by deleting "gradle-4.10-all" folder in .gradle/wrapper/dists
Taking a cue from #Mikel Yang, I found out that instead of deleting the ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists/ folder (which will means downloading the gradle files for different apps on my Android Studio), I decided to change the gradle.wrapper.properties file to any latest gradle --all.zip. So
Find 'gradle-wrapper.properties' in root project
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-{lastest}-all.zip
this way l get to save some data and time.
This happened to me because of a partially downloaded gradle distribution zip
To resolve simply go to below path
"C:/Users/your_username/.gradle"
OR
pull your gradle path from
File->Settings->Build, Exectution, Deployment-> Gradle -> gradle service directory path.
Delete the partially downloaded distribution gradle folder
Go to Studio (no need to restart) and perform gradle sync
Go to "File" in android studio, Click "invalidate caches/Restart" and "Invalidate and Restart"
That also works
I faced the issue, In my understanding, It is because of invalid combination of Android Studio And Gradle Plugin versions. I was using Gradle version 5.4.1 and Studio version 3.4, hence I updated the Android studio to 3.5 and the issue got resolved
You can delete the latest gradle-.-all folder from the below path
Windows: C:\Users\your-username.gradle\wrapper\dists
find file gradle-wrapper.properties
update with :
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5.1-all.zip
1). Android studio-> file-> "Invalidate Caches/Restart" -> "Invalidate and Restart"
wait for gradle sync
2). Download gradle.x.x.x-bin.zip using browser
unzip it and place it in ".gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-x.x.x-bin\xxxxxxxxxxx(auto generated folder)/
then restart android studio
I accidentally deleted some gradle files from where i Android studio is installed. I was following this tutorial to resolve another issue but it now even deleted some gradle files i cant even create a new project in Android studio. And cant build run or do anything. When i start android studio it shows me this error in following image:
If i open plugin manager it shows android support, cloud disabled like in this image:
In settings build tools it not does show gradle:
And in module settings it shows this:
Please someone guide me in this. I cant reinstall android studio, sdk and everything again as I have done many settings(installed plugins and git configs etc) in studio, so reinstalling everything is not an option. Any help?
One non-technical solution is to install another instance of Android Studio at different location on your system. You can then compare the directories of where where you deleted the files and copy over the files that are not there in your original installation.
I have downloaded android studio and sdk and everything required but when I start a new project studio starts downloading gradle which is already downloaded with android studio. If I try to stop that download, it can't be stopped, I need to shutdown my laptop.
Please tell me why this happens!
And if I import any project then it shows a message that gradle build failed and tells me to install build tools API Level 7 which NOBODY uses now a days. What's wrong with this studio??
I am using Ubuntu 14.04, .gradle directory of my home folder has files of more than 300 Mb I don't understand what this android studio keeps downloading.
Please help me fixing this problem
That is normal one time download of maven gradle dependencies and packages. However it usually takes a long time to download and build. Not sure what are the reasons for this.
Android studio contains gradle essentials, but for some reasons that is insufficient to run command line tools.
There is a workaround to skip this download by adding gradle repo directory to android studio settings (Configure --> Settings --> Gradle). You have to manually add GRADLE_HOME to the system PATH variable according to your operating system. Run gradle-v in command line to confirm everything works right.
I am having trouble building with Android Studio on one of my computers. The same project was building fine and when I pushed to github and pulled from the other machine I get the following error
Argument 0 for #NotNull parameter of com/intellij/execution/configurations/GeneralCommandLine.setExePath must not be null
I tried generating a new default project and I get the same build error so it must be something with my setup.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix these issues? Or even how to completely uninstall Android Studio and start fresh? Thanks
I had same error. In my case it was caused because of modification some important configuration. I fixed the issue by executing following steps:
File -> Other Settings -> Default Project Structure
SDKs
Add new SDK (select JDK option)
Specify path to JDK (in my case it was "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45")
Save changes
You can also check if you have configured path tho the Android SDK
Good luck!
Had the same problem. Had to uninstall Android Studio, delete all files related to it including install files, the .AndroidStudioPreview folder under your user directory, and those files made in your project's folder upon importing. This amounts to the idea folder and the [projectname].iml file. Now reinstall and re-import the project. You can reuse the same build.gradle. Mine's working now.
