After a successful import of an Eclipse-Android-Project into "Android Studio 1.4", I get the error
"Please select Android SDK"
when I click on the button to run the application in the simulator, I can't find any way of doing that.
This dialog opens when I click on "run":
This is the "project structure" dialog:
What should I do now?
I go to build.gradle and click sync now. Then it worked.
Update :
File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files (Android Studio 3.1.1)
Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files (Android Studio 3.0.1)
Or You can click on the icon from the toolbar.
This answer may not help works for later version as Android studio Team work on making the tool more better, the way to sync may be different in the next version of Android Studio.
COMMON WAY that may helps is try to sync project and then Invalidate Caches and Restart Android Studio.
Solution for Android Studio 3.1.2 [See below answer]
See Latest Android Studio version
FIX FOR 3.1.2 OR NEWER VERSIONS
Some of my colleagues and I have faced the same issue on AS 3.1.2, but a simple Sync didn't help us. For us, the solution was a bit different:
File -> Invalidate Caches -> Invalidate
File -> Close Project.
Remove the project from the AS project selector window.
Quit from Android Studio
Start AS and open project again
EXTRA ADVICE IF YOU ARE FACING THIS ISSUE CONSTANTLY
Some of you are constantly facing this issue, and this "solution" fixes it only temporarily. At the time we started getting this error, we used gradle wrapper 4.6 and Android gradle plugin 3.1.0, but since then we went back to gradle 4.4 and we use it with the latest Android gradle plugin, and we haven't seen this issue since then.
In Android Studio 3 and above, for Windows, Mac and Linux:
File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files
Solved!
Or you can do this by shortcut key:
Press ⌘ + Shift + A (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + A (Windows, Linux). Then pop-up a Edit-Text and write "Sync Project with Gradle Files". Then press double click on the option.
Your problem is solved! It'll sync your gradle file with your project file.
Screenshot:
Click this icon to sync gradle
or edit any of your module gradle and then sync
Press "Ctrl+shift+A" and in the pop-up EditText, write "Sync Project with Gradle Files". After that double click on the appeared option. It will then sync your Gradle file SDK with the project file.
Just go to the (app level) build.gradle file, give an empty space somewhere and click on sync, once gradle shows sync complete then the Error will be gone
This is the easiest way to fix this issue:
Add a comment line to the gradle file
It will then ask you to Sync.
Click 'Sync Now'
Viola! You're done.
Now on Android Studio 3 and above, you can try to sync project with gradle like:
File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files
The menu structure and options have changed slightly as of Android 3.2.0. I fixed this error by changing the Module SDK in the following menu:
File > Project Structure > Modules > App File > Dependencies Tab > Module SDK
Make sure to hit Apply to save your changes.
The comment from #Nisarg helped: "set latest version in Compile Sdk Version"
I changed from API 8 to API 23 and the error message disappeared.
Press the first refresh button on the gradle vertical tab in Android Studio on the right
Press " ⌘ + Shift + A" on Mac (or "Ctrl+Shift+A" on Windows) and in the pop-up EditText, write "Sync Project with Gradle Files". After that double click on the appeared option. It will then sync your Gradle file SDK with the project file.
Follow these steps:
Goto Android Studio Settings
Search for "Android SDK" using search bar
Ensure the path to your android sdk folder is correct.
After that also ensure the path is automatically updated after a prompt in your project (local.properties) file. If not, do it manually.
Hope this helps.
There are multiple hit & trial solutions for this error. One of them will surely work for you.
Below are the solutions:
1.
Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files (Android Studio
3.0.1)
Go to build.gradle and click sync now
Click hammer(Build) icon to sync Gradle
or edit any of your module Gradle and then sync
File -> Settings -> Android SDK -> Android SDK Location Edit ->
Android SDK
Open build.gradle file, just add a space or press enter. Then sync
project.
File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart
Go to File >> ProjectStructure(⌘;). This would open this window then select the app module. Then choose the Compile SDK version . Choose the latest one and click apply.
I was having this problem on all versions of AS 3.0+. Syncing with gradle did not solve the problem for me. The solution from András Klöczl was the only thing that would allow me to get some coding done. The problem was, anytime I had to do a gradle sync, the problem came back. So I had to go through that process any time I wanted to make a change in my build.gradle. What ended up working for me was to downgrade my kotlin version from 1.2.40 to 1.2.30
My problem was that if I changed the project (for example opened new window of Android Studio with different project) this error happened.
So I read every answer in this question and the "clear caches and open the project again" solution wasn't so useful in my case.
Instead I discovered that if the Kotlin's plugin's version in Android Studio was lower than in gradle file, the problem appeared.
My setup was:
Android Studio 3.1.3
Kotlin plugin (in Android Studio) 1.2.30
Kotlin version in gradle file 1.2.51
What fixed the problem?
I updated the Kotlin plugin:
File -> Settings -> Plugins -> Install JetBrains plugin...
Then search for Kotlin and click Update. After update just restart the Android Studio and sync Gradle.
Just change build tools version to 25.0.3.. and sync now
I hope it will help..
This worked for me.
File -> Settings -> Android SDK -> Android SDK Location Edit -> Android SDK
Go to : File > Project Structure > Modules -> app > Properties
please choose : Compile 'SDK' version = API26 Build Tools
Version = 27.0.0 Source Compatibility = 1.8 Target Compatibility =
1.8
open build.gradle file. just add a space or press enter. then sync project. it works...
Sometimes android studio just acts stupid and needs some kind of reset..
Go to settings.gradle file it should contain include ':app'
change it to include ':ap' and sync.
after sync, change it to include ':app' again.
It should be working OK now.
The simplest solution for this problem:
First make sure your sdk path is currect.
Then
Please close current project and in android startup menu click on import project and choose your project from explorer.
This will always solve my problem
In my case there there is no selected java sdk version in project structure-
I had to select the -
1.Source Compatibility (1.7)
2.Target Compatibility (1.7)
as shown in image.
If you are using 'Profile or Debug APK...', then you might come across this error.
My solution is to first check SDK for updates in SDK manager: click on "Edit" at the right side of SDK location and go through to install any updates:
Then I clicked on "Logcat" at bottom of Android Studio and find out I also need to configure Android SDK, so choose latest Android API Platform:
After that, I'm able to run the APK in Emulator.
In latest android studio 3.3.2 the icon of sync project with Gradle Files is changed
Now try this
File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files (Android Studio 3.3.2)
For Android Studio 3.5, "File -> Sync project with gradle files" is enough.
Go to gradle.build file and click sync now
OR
click icon on Sync project with Gradle file
OR
Go to Tools-> Android -> Sync project with Gradle file
If your android SDK path is given and still you facing this issue then it might because your android studio not synced well, even you have clicked on "Sync now" link.
So for re sync it go to app gradle file and make any change or just give a space and now sync again. It will work perfectly.
In my case I downloaded a git repository for an android project. The project required minimum sdk version 21 and target sdk version 27. When I tried to run the project it gave me "Please select Android SDK error". I checked that I had already downloaded the required sdk files.
For me the solution was to "sync project with Gradle Files"

Why I am not able to run an android project while it syncs properly and I have defined the sdk version? Still I get Please select android sdk and "edit configuration" window opens.
As you can see, API 27 is installed.
Add SDK Location in your local.properties file as below
sdk.dir=C\:\\Users\\Aditya\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk
If correct location already present. Try following options
Add that SDK location to user environment variable ANDROID_HOME
Sync gradle with project files
Clean and Rebuild Android Project
Close Android Project, Remove project name from list, restart android studio and add project again and Sync and rebuild project
Edit 1
Try with File -> Invalidate Caches -> Invalidate,
Delete .gradle and .idea folder in Project
Delete .AndroidStudio3.1 folder from Home directory [take backup if you want]
Then close project from Android Studio, and Remove project from List.
Try to start again
Have the same issues with Android Studio 3.1.x, especially when using Gradle Kotlin DSL. I recommend you to:
Remove project from Android Studio left menu. Just press cross.
Close Android studio
Re-import project.
If this won't help try to use Android Studio 3.2 Beta, its more stable. If this won't help either try to remove caches or re-clone project.
I did : Android Studio -> File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files and it works
Today I've installed Android Studio Canary 1
Now I cannot run my app. This following dialog appears.
I've already set the right SDK location through File-> Project Structure-> Android SDK location.
Expecting your help to solve this problem.
Warning Dialog image:
Go to project structure settings and set Source Compatibility and Target Compatibility to your current java development kit version:
Just you need to sync your project file with your gradle file.
File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files
I tried every answer in this post but my problem only got resolved when I made these steps:
File -> Close project -> Remove project -> Open existing project (same
project)
Maybe this will save a morning to another person with the same bug.
EDIT
This happened to me a lot on a MacBook. After I posted this answer it just kept happening so what I did was:
uninstall the Android Studio version I had from the App Store;
download the desktop stable version from Android Studio website;
start using the desktop version of Android Studio.
Never happened again.
Sometimes the SDK path will be incorrectly configured. You would need to fix it.
To Settings/Preferences( command + , on mac).
Search for SDK
Under Android SDK, click on edit and point it the root of sdk directory on your file system. (If ther is no SDk installed then install in from the below list).
i suggest you go to build.gradle and sync again.
Or Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files (Android 3+)
You need to insall SDK api 19 check this out.
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platforms
Go to sdk manager and install sdk according to your device and check your device api. Example if your device is jellybean then install api 19 sdk.
Go to Tools> Android > SDK Manager and make sure you have selected default Setting under System Setting. In this image I have selected Android 7.1.1 as default SDK
Just click on the button ..."Sync Project with gradle file"
Error will be remove
I had the same problem and what it worked for me was just sync with gradle.
I just did what I've found in this similar question:
How do I "select Android SDK" in Android Studio?
The original answer:
go to build.gradle and click sync now. Then it worked.
Update :
File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files (Android Studio 3.1.1)
Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files (Android Studio
3.0.1) Or You can click on the icon from the toolbar.
Sync Project Icon
This answer may not help works for later version as Android studio Team work on making the tool more better, the way to sync may be
different in the next version of Android Studio.
COMMON WAY that may helps is try to sync project and then Invalidate
Caches and Restart Android Studio.
Solution for Android Studio 3.1.2
Before that, by the way, I had invalidated cache and restarted too, but it didn't work.
Please, try and let us know.
P.S.
I had this problem after I imported a project from Git, just in case someone would like to replicate.
I am using Android studio 2.2 on windows 10.
I am trying to import an existing android project. The problem that it took forever and still showing the message
Building 'ProjecTName' Graedle project info
after that android studio is totally getting stuck and i kill it from the task manager !
I tried the available options on Android Studio list:
Open an existing Android Studio Project
Import Project (Eclipse ADT, Gradle, etc.)
There is downloading of Gradle going on at the background. Just wait for it to finish.
Just Remove Gradle files from your project folder and retry.
Hope this will help.
I also had the problem.
I downloaded the gradle 3.5 binary distribution zip file, deleted the gradle folder from my project, then went to settings of Android Studio, checked "Offline work", used "Use local gradle distribution" and set the path of unzipped gradle folder
on the "Gradle home" and "Service directory path" text fields.
Then I tried to open the project with Android Studio 2.3.
Then a message is shown and I pressed cancel to manually configure the gradle, then I located the unzipped gradle folder again. This solved my problem.
Try the following :
1> Try Removing(Deleting) the gradle files from the project folder and then re-try.
2> Try to go into the android studio and then Files>Invalidate Caches/Restart and then try.
3> If the above two don't work do check the gradle,android Studio versions and see if those need updating.
4> Above 3 usually work for me , if it still persists, then you need to check the dependencies for the project. Also try importing some other project and if the same issue occurs, try a new installation of a STABLE version of the android studio.
Try to remove C:\Users\User.gradle
I had deleted all gradle folder and copied it from another project and pasted it, this worked for me
The above answers didn't work for me well.
I have several projects with different gradle versions, and whenever I tried to open a project the Android Studio started downloading its gradle in the background.
So, things to do before importing old projects to new Android Studio / Gradle.
In file 'build.gradle' replace old line with "classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'"
(Assuming 2.3.3 is the latest. You can check this in your newly/recently created project)
In file 'gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties' replace old line with 'distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip'
(Assuming 3.3 is the latest. You can check this in your newly/recently created project)
Now when you'll import, it wont download other gradle version.
I did find-replace for the above lines in my whole directory containing all my old projects, using Notepad++.
Actually the real Problem is that the studio is downloading gradle files throught internet and sometimes it is not able to do so, then it stucks but we can manually fix it through-
Download Gradle Files according to your android Studios version.
You can download gradle files through-https://services.gradle.org/distributions/
See your Gradle vesrion through-https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin.html in the Update Gradle area.
Download the Gradle and paste it into- c:/Users/username/local/.gradle
and this is It!!!
I found that my gradle files had the gradle version set 2.1.0. So I opened the files in wordpad and first changed that to 3.3 And then it worked fine for me.
And in the gradel-wrapper.properties:
From distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip
To distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip
Hope that will solve the problem
This worked for me.. Will work for you for sure.
step 1: Delete "only" the Gradle "folder" from your project folder.
step 2: Import your project from Android Studio & a dialog box will appear "press
Ok to use..., or Cancel to... ". Press "Cancel" & locate the path where you have downloaded the latest Gradle File (C:/Gradle/gradle-3.5 ,in my case).
Step 3: it will give an error saying that "no cache version for....". So now check which version of com.android.tools.build:gradle: you have.. so check the path "C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\m2repository\com\android\tools\build\gradle" and select the latest version (2.3.2 in my case). So now, go to Gradle Scripts-> build.gradle(android) in Android Studio and change the dependencie's classpath to (classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.2')in my case
step 4: Click on "try again". Then it'll ask for upgrading tools, upgrade it by clicking on it & then you're done..
Congrats, your Project is successfully built..
And yeah make sure that In Setting-> Build,Exec...->Gradle-> "check mark on Use local gradle distribution & offline work & Gradle home: C:/Gradle/gradle-3.5 & Service directory path: C:/Gradle/gradle-3.5 (in my case).
Deleting temp and temp% worked for me!
Download manually gradle-3.3-all.zip
and extract into /Users/[yourUsername]/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-3.3-all/55gk2rcmfc6p2dg9u9ohc3hw9/
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
I have created a new project using the latest version of Android Studio (0.2.2), this is a fresh install of studio. When I am in the project explorer view, it fails to show me any folders for my project. I should see a root project folder, and within it the .idea, gradle, and module folders, but they are not showing.
Here is what I expect to see (taken from the sample project created on first boot):
But here is what I see immediately after the project's creation:
I cannot figure out how to expose my project's folders! I do not want to develop without the project explorer, it's simply too much of a hassle. Did I create the project incorrectly, or am I missing some not-so-obvious setting somewhere?
Thanks.
The problem here is that I assumed android studio would create a module for the application. I assumed this because it asked me at the beginning for app name, module name, package, sdk info etc.
This assumption turned out to be false. You must create your first module manually through File > Project Structure. After that is done, the project explorer shows the files.
File -> Project Structure -> Modules
Add Button (Green plus button) click -> New Module Select
New Module window -> "Content root" change path button click to select "Project root file path"
Apply to change save and "OK" button exit.
In the project Explorer there is a drop down menu where you have selected project, now change it to project files.
I hope this will solve your problem. reply if it didn't.
You have created a new gradle project not a new android project.
Update your android studio tools to 0.2.3 - Go to Help menu - select check for update.
then Update your android sdk tools, android support repository, android support library and android build tools using android sdk manager.
And update some configuration in project structure. Go to File menu->project structure -> in projects tab select Android SDK as default sdk and in SDKs tab set correct path to updated android sdk.
Now restart android studio and try to create a new project and it should work fine.
(Noted for posterity) I had a similar issue come up recently, when importing an Eclipse android project. The issue was that the source folder wasn't added as such. I had to manually go into Project Structure -> Modules -> Sources and make sure that the "src" folder wasn't excluded and was marked a source folder.
Although this question is asked years ago. But now following simple solution worked for me.
Clicking 'Sync Project With Gradle files' makes all directories visible.
I had this exact same issue, there are some problem if you upgrade from 0.1.9 version to 0.2.0 in Windows.
Android Studio 0.2.0 Release
The solution (which worked for me) was to completely uninstall Android Studio and reinstall the 0.2.0 version.
I had the same problem today. Additionally, the IDE posted an "Assertion Error" into its event log.
Downloading and reinstalling the preview version, then applying the patch to 0.2.6 worked for me.
Change the SDK to a level that you have installed in the SDK manager. The SDK manager can be accessed from Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager. For me, Android Studio was packaged with API Level 17 but the new project wizard tried to target API Level 18.
