Android Studio Error "Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.8."

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.

Could not determine the class-path for interface com.android.builder.model.AndroidProject

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.

Gradle build failing after update to Android studio 2.3 Canary 3

I've recently updated the android studio version of my project from 2.3 Canary 2 to 2.3 Canary 3. Since then the gradle build is failing every time with this error:
Error:Unable to find method 'org.gradle.api.tasks.Sync.getInputs()Lorg/gradle/api/internal/TaskInputsInternal;'.
Possible causes for this unexpected error include:Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)The state of a Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupt. Stopping all Gradle daemons may solve this problem.
Stop Gradle build processes (requires restart)Your project may be using a third-party plugin which is not compatible with the other plugins in the project or the version of Gradle requested by the project.In the case of corrupt Gradle processes, you can also try closing the IDE and then killing all Java processes.
I've searched google and not found solutions like this exactly but those that are similar are not working. Does anyone know how to fix it?

The solution is to select "Use default gradle wrapper (recommended)" option in the build gradle panel like the image below.
Now you can build with gradle 3.2 (in your gradle-wrapper.properties) and android gradle:2.3.0-alpha3 or beta1 as the time of writing
Don't forget to invalidate cache if you have some trouble using File -> Invalidate Cache / Restart

I had the same problem, fixed with checking gradle home path. This cannary build is no more working with gradle-2.14.1
The below link shows, point gradle path to gradle 3.2 directory.

The problem is the last version of tools 2.3.0-alpha3.
Try to use the 2.3.0-alpha2 in project build.gradle
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.0-alpha2'

It's mostly happened when setup new or update version of Android studio. I tried almost all solutions and find some fact that I like to share. It's work for me.
Make sure that updated JDK has set up to your computer and set path location.
Control Panel\System and Security\System-> Advanced system setting -> Advanced -> Enviroment Variables -> edit Path and pest your JDK bin folder location
Ex: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\bin
Set Project-level-setting "Use default Gradle wrapper (recommended)" from,
Android Studio -> File -> Setting -> Build, Exeution, Deployment -> Gradle
Set Android Studio JDK location:
Android Studio -> File -> Project Structure -> SDK Location -> JDK location
If this three thing is done then you need to set Gradle version 3.4.1 or see the latest version from gradle.org/releases.
Android Studio -> File -> Project Structure -> Project -> Gradle Version
After complete setting clean cash Android Studio will recover it own.
Android Studio -> File -> Invalidate caches/ Restart...

If you're using the gradle wrapper, make sure that the distributionUrl in your gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties is correct and up to date. As of this writing, I use this:
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip

try upgrading the Gradle version to 3.2.1

You may face this problem with your previous Project, We will notice that when you create a new application the Gradle build will complete successfully.
So just copy paste the grade setting from new project to the previous project.
Steps:
1) Replace Dependencies in build.gradle (project) by this code :
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.0'
2) Replace distributionUrl in Gradle-wrapper.properties by this code:
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip
3) Don't forget to use Gradle default wrapper in Project level setting.

When updating to android studio 2.3, and then load an existing project for older version of android studio, It might take long if not forever on refreshing project.
I had the same problem but i fixed it as follows:
first of all go to Gradle Distributions and download any gradle of
version greater than 3.2
extract it and save it in a suitable place in your computer.
go to android studio and choose the following path
File->Settings->Build,Execution,Deployment->Gradle
on the right side choose or select Use local gradle distribution
and then browse to where you had saved your downloaded extracted
gradle
click apply, then ok.
thats it, your project should now work normally.

change
build:gradle:
from
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle +'
to
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'

Android Studio - Gradle sync project failed

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.
* Where:
Build file 'C:\Users\Vinnie\AndroidStudioProjects\MyFirstAppProject\MyFirstApp\build.gradle' line: 9
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':MyFirstApp'.
> Gradle version 1.10 is required. Current version is 1.11. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in C:\Users\Vinnie\AndroidStudioProjects\MyFirstAppProject\MyFirstApp\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-1.10-all.zip
* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
BUILD FAILED
Total time: 1 mins 7.011 secs

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.

Gradle version 1.8 is required. Current version is 1.9-rc-3 - Android Studio

Gradle updates and error now, I can't import my project.
Error log:
Could not execute build using Gradle distribution 'http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.9-rc-3-bin.zip'.
Build file '/home/luiz/Dropbox/projetos/droido-beta/droido.torpedos/build.gradle' line: 9
A problem occurred evaluating project ':droido.torpedos'.
A problem occurred evaluating project ':droido.torpedos'.
Gradle version 1.8 is required. Current version is 1.9-rc-3. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in /home/luiz/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-1.8-all.zip
How solve this?

I had this issue with android studio 0.4.2, I changed the android tools in build.gradle from 0.6+ to 0.7+
original line in build.gradle:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.+'
Changed to:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.7.+'
Then I just ran Tools->Android->Sync Project with Gradle Files and everything worked.

Gradle 1.9 is not yet supported by the build tools.
Consider using Gradle Wrapper which will download it's own version of gradle that your project is built from.
See (http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html)
Add the wrapper task and set it to 1.8
then run gradle wrapper
You might have to re-import your project to AS and when you do, tell it to use the wrapper.
Hope that helps.

I had this problem using Ubuntu (Linux Mint) this week and I couldn't get the wrapper working. My final solution was to:
Download and unzip Gradle 1.8 from http://www.gradle.org/downloads
Remove the .gradle directory from your user directory (/home//.gradle) (I'm not sure if this is actually necessary)
Re-import the project to Android Studio, and in the import options, specify "local gradle distribution" - point to the newly installed/unzipped Gradle 1.8
And fingers crossed your error disappears.

You have to remove directory $USER_HOME.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-1.9-rc-3-bin using command. In Windows:
cd .gradle\wrapper\dists
rmdir /s gradle-1.9-rc-3-bin
