I have tried to solve this problem for 3 months but I always failed to solve it?
Error:The project is using an unsupported version of Gradle.
Please point to a supported Gradle version in the project's Gradle settings or in the project's Gradle wrapper (if applicable.)
Fix Gradle wrapper and re-import project<br>Gradle settings
change your gradle version to latest in project level build.gradle file.
Open your android studio. Go to Tools -> Android -> Sync project with Gradle File.
Happy Coding...
Just like they said, Open your studio. Go to file->settings->Build,Execution,Deployment->Gradle.
My friend in university had the same problem like you. I think that he solved it. I will talk to him and dm you what he said.
When I import an Eclipse project into Android Studio, I got this problem:
Gradle 'XNote' project refresh failed
Error:Could not determine the class-path for interface com.android.builder.model.AndroidProject.
Anyone knows why it happened? Thanks!
Just now i am facing the same problem.
1.Check classpath in build.gradle file.
change to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.0'
then go to gradle-wrapper.properties, and change distributionUrl
distributionUrl=http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip
and then rebuild the project. its help for me...
I think this will definitely helps you.
I have solved this problem.
Google doesn't update ADT any more, so when Eclipse export a project to gradle, it use an old gradle plugin version that Android Studio doesn't support.
First, you should check the version of gradle plugin that you have installed.
Open Android Studio's installation directory,then open the directory \gradle\m2repository\com\android\tools\build\gradle\, you will see all version you have installed.
Then open Android Studio, open tab 'Project -> Gradle Scripts', Edit file build.gradle, change the gradle plugin to newest version you have installed, such as 2.3.0:
[OPTIONAL] This step is not necessary, but if you do not do this, you may see this problem:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'XXX'.
> org/gradle/initialization/BuildCompletionListener
Check the newest version of gradle you have installed at C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\.gradle\wrapper\dists.
Then open tab 'Project -> Gradle Scripts', edit file gradle-wrapper.properties, modify the gradle version(attention: gradle, NOT gradle plugin) to the newest at the last line.
Finally, click Build - Clean Project, done!
If it still warning "Gradle project sync failed...", just click Try Again!
AT THE END, SOMEBODY HELP ME TO TRANSLATE MY ANSWER TO REAL ENGLISH THAT NO grammatical mistakes!!!
Just Update two things:-
1) Update your Build.gradle to
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
}
2) Update Gradle-wrapper.properties: (Change Android mode > Project mode then Extend Gradle and open Gradle-wrapper.properties)
Replace distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.12-all.zip
By
distributionUrl=http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip
This always resolves the issue. may it usefull for you
I got it working after upgrading build tools to version 25.0.0 in build.gradle:
buildToolsVersion '25.0.0'
And change project to use newest gradle version 3.3 with default gradle wrapper (File -> Settings -> Gradle)
In my case I removed folder .idea from the project and then restarting the studio automatically manages to all the required folder and gradle work.
First, delete your .gradle folder in the home directory then restart Android Studio.
Palanivelraghul was right. A Studio has to download the old version. Then it presented 3 different options after it was complete.
Choose the top option ~"Sync with 3.0.1".
Event Log:
Gradle sync started > Project setup started > Gradle sync finished > Executing tasks:
[:app:generateDebugSources, :app:generateDebugAndroidTestSources, :app:mockableAndroidJar] > Gradle build finished.
I've just tried to use Android Studio. I've created blank project and tried to create Activity which extends AppCompatActivity. Unfortunalty Android Studio "says" that it
Cannot resolve symbol 'AppCompatActivity'
I have compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.+" in dependency list of my "app" module and rebuilt project several times. However I can only use ActionBarActivity. What am I doing wrong?
A little addition to other answers here, for anyone having the same error while using the right lib version and the right class.
When I upgraded to
appcompat-v7:22.1.0
In which ActionBarActivity is deprecated and empty and AppCompatActivty is the way to go, due to some glitch in Android Studio, It didn't quite pick up on version change.
i.e. Even though Gradle ran without errors, the IDE itself kept saying
Cannot resolve symbol 'AppCompatActivity' (and it also wasn't available through the Ctrl+N search)
I looked into the .idea/libraries folder and noticed there's no appropriate metafile for the new version of the lib.
So, using the old-reliable File->Invalidate Caches/Restart did the trick. Always try this when you feel something is magically wrong with Android Studio.
And then Disable offline mode and sync.
If the soft methods via gradle file / "Invalidate caches" and the other IDE tools do not work, use the hard way:
Exit Android Studio
Navigate in your project to the .idea folder
Just Rename the libraries folder
Restart Android Studio. It should now recreate the libraries folder and work again.
This worked for me on
Android Studio 3.1.2
Build #AI-173.4720617, built on April 13, 2018

moujib confirmed, it works on Android Studio 3.2.1
Today (22 April) you can use the new AppCompatActivity released with the support libraries v 22.1.0.
Just change your dependency :
compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.0"
Here you can find more info about this new class.
It is too simple.here are the steps you need to follow
1-Exit Android studio.
2-Go to your project directory.
3-Something like this in my case( F>Android->YourProjectName->.idea).
4)-delete libraries folder present in .idea folder.
5)-restart your android studio.
and your issue is resolved.
I got it fixed by Going to build.gradle file and in dependencies the appcompat one, something like compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:XX.X.X'
Changed it to compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:XX.X.+'
Then click on Sync. All the red squiggly lines should go if everything else in your code is correct.
Check for typos too, i wasted my whole day looking for solutions when i had actually typed AppCompactActivity instead of AppCompatActivity
Cannot resolve symbol AppCompatActivity Issue.
Do the Simple Step to resolve the problem.
i) Exit the Android studio.
ii) Go to your project directory.
iii) Find the .idea folder in your project directory.
iv) Delete .idea folder.
v) Restart your android studio.
vi) The Issue Will be resolved.
I got the Cannot resolve symbol error for AppCompatActivity and many other classes & methods after updating Android Studio from 2.2.3 to 2.3, updating Android Gradle plugin to 2.3.0, and updating Gradle to 3.3.
File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart did not resolve the issue.
Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Gradle showed Use local gradle distribution selected with Gradle home: /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-2.14.1 and a warning displayed saying the gradle location was incorrect.
Resolved issue by selecting Use default gradle wrapper (recommended).
Probably just pointing to the new local distribution location would also work.
When you add AndroidX support in Gradle.properties file e.g.
android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true
If you are using Gradle version greater than 3.2, the conventional Appcompat dependancy e.g.
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1
wont work.
Replace this dependancy with:
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0'
Moreover, change the AppCompatActivity import in your class file from this:
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
to this:
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
Done
Try this. In Android Studio, after putting the dependency in build.gradle.
Go to Build --> Clean Project.
It worked for me.
Thats really insane, i tried everything, synced with Gradle files, invalidated and restarted android studio. Still the problem persisted. Last resort was deleting .idea/libraries folder and it worked as charm.
You can use new AppCompatActivity appcompat-v7:22.1.+
Just add this to your gradle:
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1'
For me the issue resolved when i updated the appcompact v7 to latest..
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.0'
Hope it helps...:)
So my collegue pushed their local.properties which broke everything. I copied my sdk path from another app and did:
File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files
I was getting this same problem with Android SDK 23, while developing on a Mac OS X Yosemite Machine. It turned out that I did not have Java SDK 7.
Once I installed Java SDK 7 and pointed the SDK from with the Android Studio to the new SDK, everything worked for me.
Here are the steps that I followed:
1) Shutdown Android SDK
2) Install Java SDK for Mac OS X from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
3) Start the Android SDK and point the SDK for this project to the new 1.7 Java SDK by going to File -> Project Structure -> JDK Location
4) Restart Android Studio
Hope this help
none of below solved my issue
Restart Android
File >> Synch Project with Gradle Files
Build >> Clean Project
Build >> Rebuild Project
File >> Invalidate Caches / Restart
Instead, I solved it by updating the version of appcompat & design dependencies to the recent version
To do so: go to build.grade (Module:app) >> dependencies section and then hit ALT + ENTER on both appcompat & design dependencies then select the shown version in my case it's 24.2.1 as shown in the picture
Remember to press Alt+Enter or add the import.
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
I updated my Gradle 2.3.3 to 4.4 and got an error on AppCompatActivity and also Cardview. I tried with clean project and rebuild project. It won't work, then I go to Project Folder -> .idea -> create backup of libraries folder and remove it -> then Rebuild Project that solved my issue.
Lets get going step by step: first clean project by using
Build->Clean
if this doesn't helps then use your second step
File>Invalidate Caches/Restart...
But the real problem begins when all the above options doesn't works so use your ultimate solution is to close project and go to project location directory and delete
.idea
You can open your project now again.
After upgrading to the latest support library, I had to upgrade to the latest Android studio (beta) version and gradle version before the IDE recognized AppCompatActivity again (invalidating caches and restart did not do the trick)
Add this dependency in project build .gradle.
Follow the example below.
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.0'
}
Easist Way
Open app level build.gradle and remove appcompact-v7 dependency & Sync.
Add dependency again & Sync.
Error gone!
Before
After
I solved it adding:
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
in the "import" zone of the main .java file. It worked for me.
Hope it helps!
You Have to just Do some change in your Gradle App File by adding some dependency
compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:XX:YY:ZZ"
while XX:YY:ZZ is the version code that you are using in your gradle file, otherwise if you set this version lower or higher than that you are using , then your app will face some problems like it will crash sometimes
i just update my android studio from 2.3.2 to 3.1.2 version. and this error occurs.
i clean project, rebuild project, invalidate cache/restart but nothing works.
i resolve this error by updating appcompat library from
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
to
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.1'
in app build.gradle file.
If Invalidating caches not helps, just close the project then re-open it. Steps:
File > Close Project
Remove the project out of the starting project list
Close Android Studio
Open Android Studio
Open existed Project with this project
This happens because of one the following reasons:
You do not have the SDK API installed (this was my problem)
Your project/Android Studio doesn’t know where the needed files are
Your project references an outdated compile version that does not support AppCompatActivity
There is a typo
Possible solutions:
Check your .gradle file to make sure you’re not referencing an outdated version. AppCompatActivity was added in version 25.1.0 and belongs to Maven artifact com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-alpha1, so do not use any version earlier than this. In your build.gradle (Module: app) file you should have the dependency listed:
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.0'
}
You may be using a different version, but just make sure you have listed the
dependency.
Open the SDK manager and download every API 7 or newer. If you were missing the needed API it will fix that issue, and downloading all the newer API’s can save you some hassle later on as well.
Check for typos in your import statement. Make sure it doesn’t say “AppCompactActivity” instead of “AppCompatActivity”.
Resync your project (File >Sync project with Gradle files)
Rebuild your project (Build >rebuild)
Clean your project (Build >clean project)
Close and restart Android Studio
Update Android Studio
Regenerate your libraries folder – In Android Studio, view your files in project view. Find the folder YourProjectName >.idea >libraries. Rename the folder to “libraries_delete_me”. Close and reopen Android Studio. Open your project again and the libraries folder should be regenerated with all of the files; you can now delete the “libraries_delete_me” folder.
For me, the issue resolved when I updated the Gradle build version. Don't know why?
I'll tell you how did i solved this problem in eclipse.
Download zip file from this link.https://github.com/dandar3/android-support-v7-appcompat then extract this file,open project, in lib folder you will see one jar file named "android-support-v7-appcompat" , add this jar file into your project. Thats it.
This can might be in the version difference in the app level gradle check it once and then re-build

Though late in answering, this is a hard one to Google (the single quotes) and it’s not clear what’s happening. I don't have the reputation yet to comment or ask for scope (or post 3 links), so this answer may be a little tedious.
To answer fast, you may have multiple Gradle plugins in your project.
Synchronize Gradle Wrapper and Plugins
My issue seemed to start with a corrupted IML file. Android Studio (between closing and reopening a project) began complaining an IML was gone (it wasn’t) and a module should be deleted, which I declined. It persisted, I upgraded to AS 0.8.7 (canary channel) and got stuck on the OP issue (Task '' not found in root project). This completely blocked builds so I had to dig in to Gradle.
My repair steps on OSX (please adjust for Windows):
Upgrade Android Studio to 0.8.7
Preferences | Updates | Switch "Beta Channel" to "Canary Channel", then do a Check Now.
You might be able to skip this.
Checked the Gradle wrapper (currently 1.12.2; don’t try to use 2.0 at this time).
Assuming you don’t need a particular version, use the latest supported distribution
$ vi ~/project/gradle-wrapper.properties ... distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.12-all.zip
This can be set in Android Studio at Preferences | Gradle (but 0.8.7 was giving me ‘invalid location’ errors).
The 'wrapper' is just a copy of Gradle for each Android Studio project. It allows you to have Gradle 2 in your OS, and different versions in your projects. The Android Developer docs explain that here.
Then adjust your build.gradle files for the plugin. The Gradle plugin version must be compatible with the distribution/wrapper version, for the whole project. As the Tools documentation (tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Requirements) is slightly out of date, you can set the plugin version too low (like 0.8.0) and Android Studio will throw an error with the acceptable range for the wrapper.
Example, in build.gradle, you have this plugin:
dependencies {
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.+"
}
You can try switching it to the exact version, like this:
dependencies {
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.2"
}
and (after recording what version you’re changing from in each case) verifying that every build.gradle file in your project pulls in the same plugin version. Keeping the “+” should work (for 0.12.0, 0.12.1, 0.12.2, etc), but my build succeeded when I updated Google’s Volley library (originally gradle:0.8.+) and my main project (originally 0.12.+) to the fixed version: gradle:0.12.2.
Other checks
Ensure you don’t have two Android Application modules in the same Project
This may interact with the final solution (different Gradle versions, above), and cause
UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define (various classes)
To check, Build | Make Project should not pop up a window asking what application you want to make.
Invalidate your caches
File | Invalidate Caches / Restart (stackoverflow.com/a/19223269/513413)
If step 2 doesn't work, delete ~/.gradle/ (www.wuttech.com/index.php/tag/groovy-lang-closure/)
Quit Android Studio
$ rm -rf ~/.gradle/
Start Android Studio, then sync:
Tools | Android | Sync Project with Gradle Files
Repeat this entire sequence (quit...sync) a few times before giving up.
Clean the project
Build | Clean Project
Project structure mismatch; see https://stackoverflow.com/a/64962359/8740349 for details.
If You See This...
In my recent builds, I kept seeing horrible fails (pages of exceptions) but within seconds the messages would clear, build succeeded and the app deployed. Since I could never explain it and the app worked, I never noticed that I had two Gradle plugins in my project. So I think the Gradle plugins fought each other; one crashed, the other lost its state and reported the error.
If you have time, the 1-hour video "A Gentle Introduction to Gradle" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFUEb7pLLXw) really helped me approach the Gradle build files, tasks, build decisions, etc.
Disclaimer
I'm learning this entire stack, on a foreign OS, after working a different career...all at the same time and under pressure. In the last few months I have hit every wall I think Android has; I've been here quite often and this is my first post. I thought this was a hard fix, so I sincerely apologize if the quality of my answer reflects the difficulty I had in getting to it.
Download system image(of targeted android level of your project) from sdk manager for the project you have imported.
This error comes when you do not have target sdk of your android project installed in sdk folder
for eg. Your imported project's target sdk level may be android-19 and on sdk folder->system-images you may have android-21 installed. so you have to download android-19 system image and other files from sdk manager or you can copy paste it if you have the system image.
Remove:
<facet type="android" name="Android">
<configuration />
</facet>
in your iml file. That works for me.

This happened to me recently when I close one Android Studio project and imported another Eclipse project. It seemed to be some bug in Android Studio where it preserves some gradle settings from previously open project and then get confused in the new project.
The solution was extremely simple: Close the project and shut down Android Studio completely, before re-opening it and then import/open the new project. Everything goes smoothly from then on.
Apparently this error has multiple causes. Here's what fixed it for me.
I was running the build command like this:
./gradlew :testapp: build
Running it without the space fixed the issue:
./gradlew :testapp:build
I got this error when switching from one Git branch to another, and then trying to run "Clean Project". I used ack to search for the Task name, and found it in a .iml file.
My solution was to regenerate the project's .iml file by clicking (in the main menu) Tools > Android > Sync Project with Gradle Files. (Thanks to this answer.)
In my case, setting the 'Gradle version' same as the 'Android Plugin version' under File->Project Structure->Project fixed the issue for me.
Simple fix for me was
Build > Clean project
Restart Android Studio
Yet another solution to the same problem:
This happened to me every time I imported an eclipse project into studio using the wizard (studio version 1.3.2).
What I found, quite by chance, was that quitting out of Android studio and then restarting studio again made the problem go away.
Frustrating, but hope this helps someone...
Sometimes, if you have opened two windows of Android Studio, and when you try to compile, this issue might happen. For me, when I was compiling a backed Google Cloud Endpoint module which was not embedded in a project, rather shared among different Android Studio projects, and when there is more than once instance open, this error use to spring up for me. But as soon as you close other windows, everything will be fine. Sometimes, you might have to restart Android Studio altogether.
I got this problem because it could not find the Android SDK path. I was missing a local.properties file with it or an ANDROID_HOME environment variable with it.
Make sure you have the latest values in your gradle files. As of this writing:
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'
}
Open Command Prompt
then go your project folder thru Command prompt
Type gradlew build and run
Apparently this issue caused by Android Studio on the various situation but the reason is build error When importing an existing project into android studio. In my case, I've imported my exist project where I was supposed to install few build tools then finally build configuration was done with error. In this case, just do the following things
Close the current project
File>New>Import Project (Don't use the open recent project)
Note:
I'm sure this kind of error is not on source code when this happened on Import project.
Problem
I specifically got the "[module_name]:prepareDebugUnitTestDependencies" task not found error, every time I ran gradle build. This happened to me after updating my Android Studio to 3.0.0.
Investigation
I had previously added command-line options to the gradle-based compiler, which you can find under: File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler -> Command-line Options. Specifically, I had excluded a number of tasks, including the aforementioned task. While that worked fine on the previous stable version (2.3 at that time), it seems like this was the reason behind the build failure.
Solution
This is one of many possible solutions.
Make sure you have the correct command-line options specified in the settings under: File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler -> Command-line Options, and that none of them is causing this problem.
In my case, I removed the exclusion of this task (and other tasks that seemed related), left the unrelated tasks excluded, and it worked!
I had the same problem and the "Tasks" tab doesn't appear to me on the Gradle settings, neither doing the commands gradlew signinReport or something.
I fix it doing the following steps:
1.- Add android: exported = "true" in my main activity of the AndroidManifest (because that Activity has an intent-filter)
2.- Update in Build.gradle (app) the compileSdkVersion to 31
3.- Update in the same place the targetSdkVersion also to 31.
4.- Click on "Sync now".
And that works for me.
Farewell!
For this you may simply just goto: SETTINGS > EXPERIMENTAL > Then uncheck the option:
"Do not build Gradle Task List during Gradle sync", Click on "Apply" > "Ok" and then click on the "Sync Project with Gradle files" option from the right side of the menu bar.
Your issue should be resolved.
Set the path of the root folder and after run the below command
ex : cd C:\Users\maha\Documents\gradle\gs-gradle-master\initial
This is what I did
Remove .idea folder
$ mv .idea .idea.bak
Import the project again
I remove/Rename .gradle folder in c:\users\Myuser\.gradle and restart Android Studio and worked for me
In my case, I meet this problem that compile options in Android Studio is "stacktrace." Modify stacktrace to --stacktrace, the problem solved.
I have solved this problem You just need to Create file in Android Folder
Go android folder
Create file local.properties
then just add this code in local.properties file:-
If you are using MacBook then sdk.dir=/Users/USERNAME/Library/android/sdk
if you are using Windows then sdk.dir=C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
if you are using Linux then sdk.dir = /home/USERNAME/Android/sdk
if you want to know what is your system USERNAME then just use command for Mac whoami
and then just rerun command react-native run-android
Thanks :)
Am on Mac so answer is as per like that.
Go to Android Studio(From Menu Bar) -> Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler . Then look for Command-Line Options , there make sure nothing typed in its Text Field. That should be empty. Then rebulid project and thats it.
After I updated Android Studio to version 0.2.7, I got the following error:
org.gradle.tooling.GradleConnectionException: Could not execute build
using Gradle distribution
'http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.6-bin.zip'.: Could
not execute build using Gradle distribution
'http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.6-bin.zip'.
This is my build.gradle:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
dependencies {
compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar')
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 17
buildToolsVersion "17.0.0"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 10
targetSdkVersion 17
}
}
Does anyone know this error?
I had the same issue, can't say I know what caused it, but I just closed Android Studio, renamed the c:\users\MY USERNAME\.gradle directory to old-.gradle and then re-launched Android Studio.
Android studio then re-created the directory and automatically downloaded the gradle zip file and set it all up.
Seems to all be fine but to be honest I don't know what this directory is nor what the root cause of the problem was either, so proceed with caution and keep the old .gradle folder around for a bit until you're happy all is working fine.
For me the following two steps fixed the issue:
Make sure the Gradle build was successful
Android Studio - File - Invalidate Caches / Restart...
I suddenly had this issue in the morning after it working the night before. I tried all solutions here and failed.
I also tried installing another version of Gradle 1.8 and setting the gradle_home.
Tried restarting studio.
Eventually the tried and trusted method of restarting Windows worked for me.
All in all a frustrating waste of time.
I updated to 0.3.0 and had the same issue. I had to end up changing my Gradle version to classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.1+' and in build.gradle and also changing the distributionUrl to distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.8-bin.zip in the gradle-wrapper.properties file. Then I did a local import of the Gradle file. That worked for me.
I had this issue as well and jaywhy13 answer was good but not enough.
I had to change a setting: Settings -> Gradle -> MyProject
There you need to check the "auto import" and select "use customizable gradle wrapper". After that it should refresh gradle and you can build again. If not try a reboot of Android Studio.
First of all, JDK environment variable settings :
e.g) JAVA_HOME -> C:\develop\java\jdk\jdk1.8.0_25
path -> %JAVA_HOME%\bin;
eclipse
Window -> preferences -> Gradle -> Arguments -> Worksapce JRE check -> jdk(jdk1.8.0_25) choice
again Run -> gradle build :)
1- delete .gradle folder in the root directory of the app
2- invalidate cache and restart
As per answer by WarrenFaith, go to:
Settings -> Gradle -> Project-level settings
Change to Use customizable gradle wrapper.
Click OK and watch it build. If you still get an error at that stage, go back to:
Settings -> Gradle -> Project-level settings
Change it back to Use default gradle wrapper (recommended)
Click OK. That fixed it for me.
I had the same issue and i solved it by deleteing gradle-wrapper.jar and gradle-wrapper.properties file of Gradle wrapper then clean rebuild work for me.
I entered:
[C:\Users\user\].gradle\caches\1.8\scripts directory and deleted its content.
I didn't had to restart anything, just removed scripts content any rerun it.
For me, when using IntelliJ IDEA, this error arose because I had the Java SDK, rather than an Android SDK, set at the Project level.
My fix:
IntelliJ > File > Project Structure ...
Project > Project SDK > [Select] 'Android API 19 Platform (java version "1.7.0_40")'
I'm on:
IntelliJ IDEA: 13.1.3
Gradle: 1.10
Android Plugin for Gradle: 0.9.+
I had the same problem on Ubuntu with Eclipse 4.3 (Kepler) and the problem was that I created the project with a minus-sign in it.
I recreated the project with no specialchars and it all worked fine
I had the same Gradle build problems in Eclipse and by doing the following steps, the problems were solved:
set up project to use correct java version of java
project properties-> java build path -> jre system (edit the current one, and add the correct java jdk or jre there)
window->Preferences ->Gradle->Arguments-> Workspace JRE (set to the correct one)
Hope this will help those who have the same problems.
This happened to me after a java update, few things to check if you are sure your path has been set before:
if the path doesn't match the latest java install folder, change it (if your in eclipse check the eclipse.ini too to make sure your using your systems default vm (ie no VM tag) )
go to the java directory, there should be a 'jdk' and a 'jre' in the path, for example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_72\jre
if not you probably installed the JRE only not the JDK that
finally if the lib folder of the jdk (not jre) doesnt contain tools.jar then you have a problem with the install
I had a similar problem after doing brew install gradle. Perhaps it was because it was an older version. So I uninstalled and instead followed the gradle website's install instructions and then when I did gradle eclipse I no longer had the could not execute build using gradle distribution error.
This problem occurred to me when I edited the configurations in Android Studio to use the Desktop. However, using the default(android) seems to work well without any issues.
To correct this mistake very easily,
If you read logs. The problem occurs because of the sudden shutdown of the IDEA. And the log files do not correctly write data. Just delete the file on the path
C:/Users/{UserName}/.Gradle/demon/{gradleVersion}/registry.bin.lock.
