Installation failed with message Invalid File - android

Installation failed with message Invalid File:
K:\project\app\build\intermediates\split-apk\with_ImageProcessor\debug\slices\slice_0.apk.
It is possible that this issue is resolved by uninstalling an existing
version of the apk if it is present, and then re-installing.
WARNING: Uninstalling will remove the application data!
Do you want to uninstall the existing application?
i am running my project in android studio 2.3 beta 3 .

Click Build tab ---> Clean Project
Click Build tab ---> Build APK
Run.

I found the solution go to
settings>build,execute,deployment>instant run>Enable instant run to
hot swap code /resource change on deploy(unchecked this option)
`

Just follow two steps
Step 1 : Build---> Clean
Step 2 : Build--> Build APK
Hope it works. Good luck guys

I solved it this way:
Click Build tab ---> Clean Project
Click Build tab ---> Rebuild Project
Click Build tab ---> Build APK
Run.

Hopefully, this should solve your problem.
Do follow the following steps.
1. Clean your Project
2. Rebuild your project
3. Finally Build and Run your project

First, as already mentioned, try cleaning and rebuilding the project. If that does not work for you, try this:
Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment:
Un-check Enable Instant Run to hot swap code...
This solved the problem right away for me.
P.S. I posted this answer since it's 2017 and I don't think this feature existed in 2014, so it wouldn't cause this problem.

Please follow the below steps
File > Settings > Build,Execution,Deployment > Instant Run > Un-check (Enable Instant Run to hot swap code)
this is working for me
thanks

This happened with me when I copied a project code from one laptop to another one and tried running the project. What fixed this for me was:
Delete the project's build folder
Clean Project
Build project
Run

In my case, I had the same issue when the name of my project contains a "&" sign.The solution is to rename the project name,from file browser, so it doesn't contain any "&" signs and then from:
Build menu-> Clean Project
Build menu-> Build APK
I've tested it two times and it worked just fine.

For me it's:
Click Build tab --->
Clean Project
Rebuild Project
Build APK

follow some steps:
Clean Project
Rebuild Project
Invalidate Caches / Restart
Now run your project. Hope it will work.
It's work for me.

Work for me:
Delete these folders
Run app

Try this in gradle project
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3' }

Delete the Intermediate folder after then run the project is working fine actually that APK builds to another system.
Go to app/build/intermediates.

In my case , there was a single qutation ' in project directory and after removing it resolved

I found its work by restarting my phone :)

Invalidate cache/restart
Clean Project
Rebuild Project
Run your app / Build APK
These steps are enough to solve most of the problems related to Gradle build in any way. These steps helped me solve this problem too.

Try cleaning the project and rebuild, if doesn't work try disabling the Instant Run from Settings>Build>Instant Run in case you are running someone else's code.

My issue was with my Android Studio install.
I am building out a new CI server and although I installed Android Studio and hooked up the SDK, etc., I did not open the studio with the project -- instead just went to the command line to build. When I subsequently opened the project in the studio, it started prompting for all sorts of updates. Followed the bouncing-ball and then I was able to reach my USB tethered device.
Hopefully, this is helpful for Build Master and DevOps as a "got-cha" to avoid.

None of the answers here worked, I had to:
Close android studio
rm -rf ./android/.idea
Build -> Build Bundle/APK(s) -> Build APK(s)

The path may be invalid, if Android Studio is pointing to the wrong version of the file. This can happen if you make gradle automatically rename your built APK, using setProperty(), like:
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.company.app"
versionName "1.2.0"
// Rename the built apk file
setProperty("archivesBaseName", "MyApp-$versionName")
...
}
Sometimes, an updated versionName is not properly "refreshed" to Android Studio, so it can point to an old versionName in the file name. In this case, just do a Gradle sync then Build, to ensure the versionName matches the built file path. Gradle sync is either:
Android Studio 4.x ➔ Toolbar at the far right ➔ Press the 'elephant + down arrow' icon, which has the tooltip "Sync Project with Gradle Files" ➔ Build ➔ Make Project
Android Studio 4.x ➔ Help ➔ Find Action ➔ search for "sync" ➔ "Sync Project with Gradle Files" ➔ Build ➔ Make Project

If none of those solutions work for you just close the Android Studio and open it. It worked for me on Mac.

Just Invalidate Cache and Restart !!! 🙌🏻

Gradle sync failed: Cause: startup failed (Basic functionality not working)

It is my first time to use android studio V 3.1.3
when i finished installation and trying to build this error is shown
it said that "Basic functioality not working correctly such as building and debugging "
i do not known how to solve it
i use a local gradle distribution like this
Then press on sync project with gradles files
but this error is still shown.
It works well but after that this error is happened
any help
Thanks in advance.
I also have the same problems as you,Now I have solved it.
The following are the steps to be solved
Exit Android Studio.
Delete the .gradle folder eg: C:\Users{userName}}.gradle
Restart androidStudio and wait a moment.
Have you tried
Android studio -> File -> Invalidate Caches/Restart -> Invalidate and Restart
Deleting the .gradle folder was unsuccessfull for me.
Still waiting for another solution.
you should go to settings > build,execution,Deployment > build tool > gradle
and the change the user gradle home that to path of environment variable of JAVA-HOME Address
Like this
and then change gradle JDK to Embedded JDK it will solve your problem

Error running 'app': Unknown error in Android studio 3.1

I have updated my android studio to new stable version 3.1.
After build project not able to run.
Let me know if anyone have face same issue or find any solution.
Just go to "Run/edit configurations.../" and scroll down to bottom of the window and here you see an option "Before launch..."
First, remove whatever already inside the little window and then click on (+) icon and select "Gradle-aware Make" and then type "assembleDebug" and select the first option or that you need. This will solve your problem.
Try deleting both your build folders in your project manually and rebuild. This usually happens when you update gradle version, in my experience.
The solution that worked for me was a combination of other answers here.
I had upgraded to the most recent stable version of Android Studio at the time, 3.1. Along with that, Android Studio prompted a dialog asking me if I wanted to upgrade my Gradle from 3.x to 4.4, and I accepted as well.
After that I got the error of this question, and then I did this:
Open menu Run -> Edit configurations...
In the Before launch: section, select any options you have listed (each option has the Android symbol), and remove them with the - symbol
Add the option Gradle-aware Make, with the value assembleDebug
Clean and rebuild your whole project
just clean and rebuild your project
I had the same problem. I change in build.gradle 'compile' with 'implementation', then clean and rebuild the project. Now it starts with no problem.
Run "Build-> Clean Project" normally will fix this problem.

Gradle project sync failed?

When I started up my project this morning it randomly gave me a message saying Gradle project sync failed. Basic Functionality(eg. editing, debugging) will not work properly. in Android Studio. I looked at other answers that people had put up for this problem but they haven't been working. I invalidated my chaches/restarted my project but no luck. I also deleted my .gradle folder from my project folder and still no luck. If any of you guys could help me that would be awesome! This didn't happen yesterday when I was working on the project or anything, I wonder why its happening now. Oh yea it also says this as a gradle message: Error:C:\Users\Dave\.gradle\caches\2.2.1\scripts\settings_ad4t0wp5ikihzl1y1o83b5sbw\SettingsScript\buildscript\cache.properties (The system cannot find the file specified) :
Thanks again for anyone who reads this/ can help!
There is a file - "cache.properties" that gradle creates for you, upon first time inception of any project. The path for this file is "~Home_Directory\.gradle\2.2.1\taskArtifacts". You may find this path in your home directory. So basically, this file - "cache.properties" is missing from the "taskArtifacts" folder.
One of the solution that worked for me is to copy file - "cache.properties" from any test project of yours to this project that's currently experiencing an issue.

I had to choose using the Default Gradle Wrapper instead of local.
<< SETTINGS -->/ BUILD TOOLS --> Gradle --> radio button switch... >>
It has helped me to fix the same problem.
I had experience similar sync failed problem with gradle based android project (in Android Studio 1.1.0). I solved this problem without deleting .gradle from my user directory,
steps I followed was
Go to File -> Settings -> Compiler(Gradle Based Android Project)
Change VM options to -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m.
Click Apply -> OK and then tap on Try Again option in sync failed message to clean build the project.
Works like charm!!
UPDATE - 1 : For Android Studio 1.3, Compiler option mentioned in above Step-1 is present inside tab Build, Execution, Deployment.
I had faced similar kind of problem earlier!
But don`t know after rebuild the project and cleaning it, it worked normally.
Invalidate dependency cache by running
gradle clean build --refresh-dependencies
from project root and then re-import your project. Worked for me once.
May be you have put Android Studio into offline mode. To fix it, go to Preferences -> Gradle and ensure that the "Offline work" checkbox is not checked.
Than do
File -> Invalidate caches / Restart
Shutdown Android Studio
Rename/remove .gradle folder in the user home directory
Restart Android Studio let it download all the Gradle stuff it needs
android studio 0.4.2: Gradle project sync failed error
Delete the folder C:\Users\.gradle and reopening the android studio solved my problem

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

Option to "build signed apk" missing

After updating my Android Studio to the latest version, I can no longer find the option to build signed apk.
I have tried installing beta and canary builds of Android Studio but they do not seem to carry the option either. Can someone help me figure out how to generate signed apks?
I've tried re-installing Android SDK Build Tools but that didn't work for me. But I managed to see the option by ensuring that the project is opened in the Android directory instead of the project root.
Try Invalidate restart
Goto File > Invalidate Caches/Restart
If you still face the problem then you have to reinstall the android studio not the build.
Delete the android studio folder from users or where you have given the path while installing.then open the android studio and it will automatically start installing
I solved this issue by deleting and re-downloading Android SDK Build-Tools. Posting this here in case anyone else is facing this issue.
Quick fix is go to File->project Structure->build variants,in build types choose the build you want Debug or Release,scroll down and add a key to Manifest Placeholders apply the changes and click OK,i hope you'll find Generate signed bundle/APK options under build,i don't know if it's the right way to do,it's a rough guess.
Following solution worked for me.
After lot of research, I found this reference. https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/build-tools.
Here as mentioned, we need to specify android build tool version in app\build.gradle file.
android {
buildToolsVersion "29.0.2"
}
I initially had problem with node on my project so I added this on terminal:
sudo ln -s "$(which node)" /usr/local/bin/node
Then on File > Sync Project with Gradle File System.
After this it showed on the Build menu.
Maybe, after this you can also do: File > Invalidate Chaches / Restart....
Just open your project in Android Studio and click where shown below.
After that, the option will become available.
In my case the problem was in build.gradle, verify if you have specify :
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
You have to connect a testing device or create a new virtual device (if you actually have not).
My problem was also around the Android SDK Build-Tools, but the reinstall was not solving the issue.
I had to look at the logfile and find out, that I was using a platform version which wasn't installed. When I selected the particular verision in the SDK installer, everything started working again.
I had the same problem, open your project directly on android folder
