Long story short: My android phone keeps disconnecting from ADB. I was told to update android studio, did that. I open my project in Intellij and try to run on android and I get an error:
BUILD FAILED
Total time: 48.986 secs
Error: /Users/me/Desktop/comp/Development/comp-ionic/platforms/android/gradlew: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:

My first thought is that my gradle is the wrong version. For this specific app, I need to use gradle version 2.14.1.
When I type gradle -v I'm getting version 3.3.
Is there a way to delete/downgrade gradle from 3.3 to 2.14.1?
Or is this another problem?
If you're using the gradle wrapper, then there'll be a folder in your project named "gradle" with a subfolder named "wrapper", inside that, there are 2 files:
- gradle-wrapper.jar
- gradle-wrapper.properties
Open "gradle-wrapper.properties" and change the place where it says "3.3" to "2.14.1". Then sync gradle, and it will automatically download 2.14.1.
If you're using the new 2.3 Android Studio, you HAVE to use gradle wrapper 3.3, as its the minimum supported gradle wrapper version. If so, then you'll have to download Android Studio 2.2, or fix whatever issue you have in your project that needs gradle wrapper version 2.14.1.
To get more information about whatever the issue is, try running this:
./gradlew clean assemble -stacktrace
That will clean your project, try and compile it, and if/when it fails, it will show you a stacktrace of the error.
What you should do is to change the gradle build tools version to the one that matches your gradle version. According to here you can set the gradle to 2.14.1 by changing build tools to lower than 1.0.0.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'// For gradle 2.2.1 - 2.3
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
Notice: if you keep checking the mentioned link you'll see Higher is better for gradle.
For me, Android Studio > File > Invalidate Caches / Restart did the trick.
I got the same problem when upgrading to Android Studio 2.3.1. There is something funky about Gradle 3.3 (It fails by "java.lang.NullPointerException: null value in entry: destinationDir=null at com.google.common.collect.CollectPreconditions.checkEntryNotNull(CollectPreconditions.java:33)").
Good news: seems like the current most recent version (3.5) works.
Go to File|Project Structure|Project, and use these versions:
Gradle version=3.5
Android Plugin version=2.3.1
I update the Android Studio version to 3.3 Canary 4, then update the gradle plugin, and the project stops working.
I do not know how to restore my AS to the previous state, nighter the gradle plugin.
But just with this command, the project now works, for me: gradlew clean assemble -stacktrace, in terminal tab in AS.

An error occurred after I downloaded version 6.8 and the latest version of Gradle.
A problem occurred evaluating project ':launcher'.
< Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.version-check'.
<< Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.8. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl...
What do I have to do?
I'm attaching more details in the added pictures.
The error:
Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.8.
Likely means:
Your "\gradle"-folder is missing from your project folder:
(Note: Not to be mistaken for the ".gradle"-folder which is a different folder)
Solution:
Get a copy of the "\gradle"-folder from another working project (or create a new project).
Or:
Your "\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties" has an incorrect value in the "distributionUrl=":
Solution:
Change the value in "\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties" to
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-bin.zip
I hade the same problem after moving my project to another computer:
Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.8.
Please fix the project's Gradle settings.
Gradle Settings.
Clicking on the "Gradle Settings"-link opened the Gradle settings Window, but the Gradle JDK was already correctly set to version 11:
So my next step was to check the Project Structure:
And update the Gradle Version to 7.0.2:
But that led to this error instead:
¤ What went wrong:
An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'com.android.application']
» Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.version-check'.
» Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.8. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in D:\Files\Code-Project\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-7.0.2-all.zip
Now the error points me towards a problem within the "\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties"-file.
Looking into that I found out the real problem - the "\gradle"-folder was completely missing.
(Note: The "\.gradle"-folder is not the same as the "\gradle"-folder)
Copying the "\gradle"-folder from another project solved my problems.
Now my "\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties"-file looks like this:
Next update the Gradle Version in Android Studio select invalidate cache and restart solve the issue.
Go to Menu File->Invalidate cache..-> Invalidate and Restart.
Go to gradle wrapper properties
In the distribution url line change gradle version from 6.5 to 7.0.2 or the current version when you see this
The error says that the gradle version in your system is less than your project's gradle verion. That's the reason why it is unable to compile your project.
System gradle version < Project's gradle version
So there are 2 solutions here,
Change the distribution URL in the gradle-wrapper.properties file in the android/gradle/wrapper directory to distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-bin.zip.
Update your gradle plugin. If you use some environment variable, download the latest verion from Gradle | Manual Installation and replace it with your current one. Don't forget to update the path variable in system properties.
I just tried out Android Studio 4.1 today. I started the Android Studio and created empty activity and I run it using the android virtual device. Then it was failed and this error is shown:

UPDATE 2:
After I downgrade the Android Gradle Plugin version from 4.1.0 to 4.0.2 and the Gradle version from 6.5 to 6.4.1 now it is working.
So my conclusion is there is a bug in the Android Gradle Plugin 4.1.+ and Gradle 6.5.+.
I find a temporary solution:

Had same issue. Moving project files to ntfs drive fixed it.
Downgrading the Android Gradle Plugin version from 4.1.0 to 4.0.2 and the Gradle version from 6.5 to 6.4.1 now it is working; works for me as well. Now app is no longer experiencing building errors.Thanks.
Error message was :

File 'F:\NietsPastApp\app\build\intermediates\merged_manifest\debug\out\AndroidManifest.xml' specified for property 'mainMergedManifest' does not exist.
Thanks for help, downgrade it's ok. just for other who search the file :
gradle 4.0.2 change here : /build.gradle

File -> Project Structure. reduce your build tools version to 29
i tried it's work
In my case and for kotlin I have downgraded kotlin version from 1.4.32 to 1.4.31
Android application build fails with Android Plugin for Gradle 2.2.2 and Gradle version 2.14.1.
But build successful with Android Plugin for Gradle 1.2.3 and Gradle version 2.3
Expected Behavior:
Android application should successfully build in command line with Android Plugin for Gradle 2.2.2 and Gradle version 2.14.1
Current Behavior:
Android application build fails with Android Plugin for Gradle 2.2.2 and Gradle version 2.14.1. Because it fails to find a symbol in the com.android.support:support-v4:23.2.1.
Also build fails in the Android Studio with the same reason.
Context:
I had to updated the Android Studio to 2.2.2(Latest) and this must use at least Android Plugin for Gradle 2.2.2. Therefore I had to update gradle as well. (Tried both gradle 2.14.1 and gradle 3.2) But build fails with the same reason.
Steps to Reproduce
Have the following settings in the application gradle.build file
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2'
}
Also
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.2.1'
}
Android SDK is uptodate
enter image description here
enter image description here
And run the gradle build.
Build fails and out put's following errors
error: cannot find symbol
import android.support.v4.app.DialogFragment;
^
error: cannot find symbol
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
When you try to update Gradle by yourself sometimes does not work, the best way y let android studio do it.
Step 1:
Close Your project
Step 2:
Reopen your project.
Step 3:
Click on update button
Step 4:
Wait update
Thats all!
Have you try to Invalidate Caches of Android Studio after upgrade gradle?
To do that you have to go:
File -> Invalidate caches / restart... -> Invalidate and Restart
I'm trying to execute gradle wrapper for an Android project, and this error is raised:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'myapp'.
> Gradle version 1.10 is required. Current version is 1.12. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in /Users/dude/myapp/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-1.10-all.zip
My wrapper task in build.gradle looks like this:
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = "1.12"
}
I recently updated to Gradle v1.12 via Homebrew. Is it not supported or something? If so, where can I check this sort of thing?
A particular version of the Gradle Android plugin requires a particular version of Gradle (at least for now), and it seems that your version of the Gradle Android plugin requires Gradle 1.10. You might find more information on this in the documentation for the Gradle Android plugin.
PS: The wrapper task above creates the files necessary to run Gradle with the (generated) gradlew script, which is the preferred way to run Gradle (no manual install, every build can specify in its gradle-wrapper.properties which Gradle version it needs).
The version of Android gradle plugin needs to be compatible with the version of Gradle. Checkout the version compatibility mapping table here：
http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/version-compatibility
I had the same problem. It turned out that the old Android Studio created gradle related files one level above my application folder. In my case, the path was in ~/git/, and my project was at ~/git/myproject. I used Android Studio RC2 now, and no matter how I changed the config within the project, gradle still wanted to use the old 1.10 version. Therefore, I re-checked out the project a new path, and updated the gradle version reference within the project, then it compiled.
In Android Studio, I simply created a new project, and it says that:
Gradle project sync failed. Basic functionality will not work properly.
I have searched the web and tried everything, but nothing worked. I have v0.4.6 of Android Studio using Gradle 1.11.
The Error Message Is:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Build file 'C:\Users\Vinnie\AndroidStudioProjects\MyFirstAppProject\MyFirstApp\build.gradle' line: 9

The Android plugin 0.8.x doesn't support Gradle 1.11, you need to use 1.10.
You can read the proper error message in the "Gradle Console" tab.
EDIT
You need to change gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file in this way:
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.10-all.zip
In my case NDK location was the issue.
go to File->Project Structure->SDK Location and add NDK location
This may be helpful for some.
My problem exactly is incomplete gradle-1.12-all file download.
Below is screen shot of the Error
I re-downloaded the file from the gradle site here and extracted it in path/to/the/gradle, in my case was in C:\Users\maneeOsman\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-1.12-all\2apkk7d25miauqf1pdjp1bm0uo
I closed the android studio and reopen it in administrator privilege (Run as administrator).
The android studio starts downloading the necessary files for building and debugging. You can notice that from bottom-left indicator bar.
After this, it is working fine.
See the screen shot below
Here is the solution I found: On the project tree "app", right click mouse button to get the context menu. Select "open module setting", on the tree "app" - "properties" tab, select the existing "build tools version" you have. The gradle will start to build.
I have encountered this problem And I solved it as follows: File->Sync Project with Gradle Files
good luck!
After applying this fix that was found here... https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=208295
in file $SDK/ndk_bundle/source.properties replace "12.0.2753695 beta 1" to "12.0.2753695-beta1"
My project was built successfully and ran on device and emulators although 5 warnings still remains.
Remove the dependency "junit:junit:4.12" from app modules...!!! This solution is for gradle to sync all files.
it was hard to solve but i did it
look go to
C:\Users\Vinnie\
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
I know this is an old thread but I ended up here with the same issue.
I solved it by comparing the dependencies classpath in the build.gradle script(Project) to the installed version.
The error message was pointing to the following folder
C:\Program Files\Android\android-studio3 preview\gradle\m2repository\com\android\tools\build\gradle
It turned out that the alpha2 version was installed but the classpath was still pointing to alpaha1. A simple change to the classpath ('com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-alpha2') was all that was needed.
This may not help everyone, but I do hope it help most people out.
I was behind firewall|proxy.
In my case with Studio, ERROR: Gradle sync failed & Cannot find symbol.
I have used
repositories {
jcenter(); // Points to HTTPS://jcenter.bintray.com
}
Replace it with http and maven
repositories {
maven { url "http://jcenter.bintray.com" }
}
i had same issue i solved by changing gradle plugin version and and gradle version
see image for more refrence
Use this line to your Build gradle app
repositories {
maven { url "http://jcenter.bintray.com" }}
Using an outdated gradle version may also result to fail in synchronization.
Download latest version from https://gradle.org/releases/ and download the "complete" latest version.
Now replace it with the outdated version which is located C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle.
Go to settings(ctrl+alt+s) ,go to gradle and add the the new gradle directory in "use local gradle distribution" "Gradle home:C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\gradle4.4.1 ."
It Worked for me.
Hope u understand.
Update for 2018:
I have faced this issue recently and it was resolved by updating android studio & updating gradle when prompted then rebuilding the project
I had a "Install build tools and sync" link in the lower right hand corner of my screen. I clicked on that and it fixed the issue.
Each version of the Android Gradle Plugin now has a default version of the build tools. For the best performance, you should use the latest possible version of both Gradle and the plugin.
You recive this warning in case if you use latest gradle plugin but not use latest SDK version. For example for Gradle plugin 3.2.0 (September 2018) you requires Gradle 4.6 or higher and SDK Build Tools 28.0.3 or higher.
Although you typically don't need to specify the build tools version, when using Android Gradle plugin 3.2.0 with renderscriptSupportModeEnabled set to true, you need to include the following in each module's build.gradle file: android.buildToolsVersion "28.0.3"
see more https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin
Update gradle to the latest available version and implement libraries to the latest version available, also check if google play services is latest if used.
