UPDATE JANUARY 2017
Android Studio 2.2.3
Gradle 2.2.3 or higher.
Build Tools 25.0.2 or higher.
Using Android Studio 1.3 with this dependencies:
Gradle 2.2.1 or higher.
Build Tools 21.1.1 or higher.
Also, Gradle 2.7 was release 14th September 2015: http://gradle.org/
This would be more of a comment but I haven't accumulated enough points as of yet.
If you've updated your Android Studio to 1.3.2 version then I would suggest using Build Tools Version 23.0.0 and compile API 23 Android 6.0.
In your top level gradle file;
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "your.package.name"
minSdkVersion 15 // min sdk can be any sdk you want to target
targetSdkVersion 23 // target compiled version
}
}
As for Gradle Version - 2.4 or higher up to latest 2.7.
In your App gradle file;
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}

I am coding a Java project in Android studio 4.0.
This is my current Gradle version (6.5.1). (In gradle-wrapper.properties)
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5.1-all.zip
error said:
Studio gradle version 2.2 is required. Current version is 6.5.1.
Then I turn my gradle version into 2.2, and it gives me another error:
Support for builds using Gradle versions older than 2.6 was removed in tooling API version 5.0.
You are currently using Gradle version 2.2.
You should upgrade your Gradle build to use Gradle 2.6 or later.
I've tried everything to do and read questions and articles. But seeing no hopes.
I am new to android app design. Any advise will be appreciated!
update 1(build.gradle):
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.pcschool.map"
minSdkVersion 21
targetSdkVersion 22
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'),
'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.3.0'
}
Android Studio uses a plugin to support gradle. Each version of the plugin supports a range of gradle versions.
In your case it sounds like you have a recent version of Android Studio, running a recent version of the gradle plugin, supporting the latest versions of gradle.
Your project however requires an older gradle version. Since the gap is pretty big (6.5.x to 2.2) your current version of the plugin will not support this old gradle version. You would have to downgrade the plugin, but doing so you'd probably also have to downgrade Android Studio to support the old plugin version.
I highly suggest changing the version of gradle that your project depends on to something more recent. You'll definitely have to make some changes to your build script(s) since a lot of things have changed since 2.2, but it will be worth it in the long term. Android Studio might even encourage you to do that when you launch it. If not, you can do it under Project Structure in the File menu.
If you for some reason can't upgrade, you'll need to find an older version of Android Studio that supports a version of the gradle plugin that in turn supports gradle 2.2.
Maybe you can try to add these lines in your build.gradle:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral();
jcenter();
google();
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0'
}
}
And the newest gradle version can be fetched on https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin
I'm looking into shortcut creation with Android O. Unfortunately Android Studio is not recognizing the ShortcutManager class:
In the gradle file I have set as a dependency:
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'
In the gradle file I have these versions set:
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion '25.0.2'
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 25
targetSdkVersion 25
I have followed the steps in this SO response and executed File => Invalidate Caches / Restart...
Unfortunately Android Studio continues to not recognize the class.
Information on my version of Android Studio:
Android Studio 2.3.2
Build #AI-162.3934792, built on April 21, 2017
JRE: 1.8.0_112-release-b06 x86_64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Attempting to manually import the class is not successful:
In addition to assuring that Android Studio version number is at 2.3, the breakthrough I had was finding this documentation for migrating to Android O. In the section "Get the Android O SDK" it prescribes both platform and tool updates that are initiated by launching from the Android Studio menu Tools > Android > SDK Manager.
Here's a screenshot for which platform components I needed to update:
When combined with the required tools updates, these were combined updates required:
Then, you must take care to follow the required updates to your build configuration outlined in the section "Update your build configuration", an element that I had missed was the maven update:
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion '26.0.0-rc3'
defaultConfig {
targetSdkVersion 26
}
...
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.0-beta1'
}
// REQUIRED: Google's new Maven repo is required for the latest
// support library that is compatible with Android O
repositories {
maven {
url 'https://maven.google.com'
// Alternative URL is 'https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/'
}
}
I am getting this error on the latest version of Android Studio and while I have installed both Android SDK Platform API 25 and Android SDK Build-Tools 25.
As Vishnu said, For me updating Android studio and Gradle didn't fix the problem.
I navigated to Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager and selected BuildTools and checked for the updates related to platform tools. After updating and installing those, fixed my problem.
And for one my friends, the issue got resolved after following the above steps and then navigating to Help->Check for updates-> and installing all the available updates.
Attached Screenshot for the same.
I am facing similar issue after upgrading Android Studio to 3.0. A very simple way to fix this is go to
Tools -> Android ->SDK Manager -> SDK Tools
There look for Android SDK platform tools and update it. (Screenshot attached)
Thats it, you don't have to change any other gradle setting.
I had a similar problem. Updating Android Studio to version 2.2.2 (latest at the time of this writing) and Gradle version to 2.2.2 (latest at the time of this writing) in project_name/build.gradle file fixed this issue.
For reference, this is my config in project_name/app/build.gradle file:
minSdkVersion = 19
targetSdkVersion = 25
compileSdkVersion = 25
buildToolsVersion = "25"
supportLibraryVersion = "25.0.0"
And this is my dependencies in project_name/build.gradle file :
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
Open AndroidMainfest.xml
Click the red icon => Disable inspection => Error is gone
I face same problem but when I swap
buildToolsVersion "25.0.0"
to first line then problem solved. Then the final app grade become:
android {
buildToolsVersion "25.0.0"
compileSdkVersion 25
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.***"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 25
versionCode 0
versionName "0.0.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
Update your android sdk platform-tools to the revision from 24.0.4 to 25.x.x on sdk manager. Then android studio click File->Invalidate Caches/Restart...
The error must be gone now.
Try to update
Android SDK Build-Tools
Android SDK Platform tools
Android SDK Tools
Android Support Repository
Google Play Services
Google repository
etc to the latest version. Error must be gone.
Go to Gradle(app) and replace
buildToolsVersion "25"
to
buildToolsVersion "24.0.4" // Or Latest installed gradle version
also if targetSdkVersion is 25 then make this 24
On command line
./sdkmanager "platform-tools" "platforms;android-26"
./sdkmanager --list
Check if you have update to latest release
I installed Android Studio on my computer. I created a new project but that got me the error below. What can I do?
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugAidl'.
> aidl is missing
My Android Studio version is 1.1.0.
This is my build.gradle file:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
And :
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "24.1.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.jo.cloning_a_login_screen"
minSdkVersion 13
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
}
In my case I downloaded version 22 of Android M and Android 5.1.1 using Android Studio 1.2.1.1 but when I try to do a Hello World this same error showed me
So the solution for me was doing right click in app like the image below and choose "Open Module Settings"
then there you have 2 options. I've changed both with the last version I had.
Compile SDK version to API 21 Lollipop
and Build Tools Version to 21.1.2
Finally clean the project and Build
UPDATED
TO Get Android Studio 1.3 follow these steps
Open the Settings window by choosing File > Settings.
Choose the Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Updates panel.
On the Updates panel, choose the option Automatically check updates for: Canary Chanel.
On the Updates panel, select Check Now to check for the latest canary build. Download and install the build when you are prompted.
Then you'll have something like this to update your Androud Studio to 1.3 and with this you can test Android M
Update: Real Cause
This bug happens when the versions of SDK, Build Tools and Gradle Plugins doesn't match (in terms of compatibility). The solution is to verify whether you are using the latest version of them or not. The gradle plugins are placed in the build.gradle of the project, and the other versions are on the build.gradle of the module. For example, for SDK 23, you must use the Build Tools 23.0.1 and gradle plugins version 1.3.1.
It has been fixed two days ago, so you can use:
buildToolsVersion '23.0.0 rc2'
with the newest android gradle plugin:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0-beta2'
Note:
I had some weird problems with gradle 2.4 distribution, but trying to build the project again has fixed that for me.
EDIT
There is a newer version of build-tools 23, so you should probably use:
buildToolsVersion '23.0.0 rc3'
EDIT 2
And yet again, there are newer version of both gradle plugin and build-tools, so you can switch to using:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0'
and
buildToolsVersion '23.0.0'
I had a similar error with a fresh install of Android Studio 1.2.1.1 attempting to build a new blank app for API 22: Android 5.1 (Lollipop).
I fixed it by simply changing the Build Tools Version from "23.0.0 rc1" to "22.0.1" and then rebuilding.
On Windows, F4 opens the Project Structure and the Build Tools Version can be set in the Modules > app section:
I think all this does is change the setting in the build.gradle file in the app but I didn't want to change that manually just in case it does something more.
I tried to uninstall/install and it did not work. I am running OSX 10.10.3 with Android Studio 1.2.1.1 on JDK 1.8.0_45-b14 and the solution I found to work is similar to Jorge Casariego's recommendation. Basically, out of the box you get a build error for a missing 'aidl' module so simply changing the Build Tools Version to not be version 23.0.0 rc1 will solve your problem. It appears to have a bug.
UPDATE
After commenting on an Android issue on their tracker (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=175080) a project member from the Android Tools group commented that to use the Build Tools Version 23.0.0 rc1 you need to be using Android Gradle Plugin 1.3.0-beta1 (Android Studio comes configured with 1.2.3). He also noted (read the issue comments) that the IDE should have given an notification that you need to do this to make it work. For me I have not seen a notification and I've requested clarification from that project member. Nonetheless his guidance solved the issue perfectly so read on.
Solution: Open your build.gradle for your Project (not Module). Find the line classpath com.android.tools.build:gradle:xxx under dependencies where xxx is the Gradle Plugin version and make the update. Save and Rebuild your project. Here is the Android Gradle docs for managing your Gradle versions: https://developer.android.com/tools/revisions/gradle-plugin.html
I was able to get build to work with Build Tools 23.0.0 rc1 if I also opened the project level build.gradle file and set the version of the android build plugin to 1.3.0-beta1. Also, I'm tracking the canary and preview builds and just updated a few seconds before, so perhaps that helped.
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0-beta1'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
Quick fix that worked for me:
Right click on project->"Open Module Settings"->Build Tools Version change to: 22.0.1
To build your application without aidl is missing error with compileSdkVersion 23 and buildToolsVersion "23.0.1" you should specify latest versions for Android Gradle plugin (and Google Play Services Gradle plugin if you are using it) in main build.gradle file:
buildscript {
repositories {
...
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.1'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.3.1'
}
}
I had the same error i fixed it by going to the build.gradle (Module: app) and changed this line from :
buildToolsVersion "23.0.0 rc1"
to :
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
You will need to go the SDK Manager and check if you have the 22.0.1 build tools. If not, you can use the right build tools but avoid the 23.0.0 rc1.
Essentially Matt Daley/Johnny Mohseni's solution worked for me.
I faced exactly the same problem on a fresh Android Studio V 1.2.1.1 installation. I created a new project (blank activity) and straightaway god this build error.
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugAidl'.
> aidl is missing
As suggested, changing the gradle dependency from 1.2.3 to 1.3.0-beta1 fixed it.
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0-beta1' // <--- WORKS!
//classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.3' // <--- default - failed
Once 1.3.0-beta1 change was saved, I got a prompt to upgrade dependencies. Upon accepting the request to upgrade, the gradle build status bar at the bottom tracked the packages being synced. When that completed, the build was automatically triggered and completed successfully.
Use your file browser and copy-paste the IInAppBillingService.aidl into /app/src/main/aidl/com/android/vending/billing/
The problem was actually in the version Android Studio 1.3 updated from the canary channel. I updated my studio to 1.3 and got the same error but reverting back to studio 1.2.1 made my project run fine.
buildtools layout in 23.0.0.rc2 was reverted
so to be able to use it, you need to upgrade the plugin to 1.3.0-beta2 or higher as i show below:
I am working with sdk 23.1.0 and gradle 1.3.1. I created a new project edited nothing and got the aidl error. I went into my project gradle file and changed tool to 22.0.1 instead of 23.1.0 and it worked:
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1" //"23.1.0"
Check if you actually have installed the buildVersionTools you are using. In my case I tried 25.0.1 whilst I only had 25.0.2.
To check it go to the SDK Manager, clicking the icon:
Then click Launch Standalone SDK Manager at the bottom:
Now check whatever you need and install packages.
Hope it helps!
I have an Android Project in Android Studio 0.5.9 and Gradle is throwing this error:
Error:The SDK Build Tools revision (17.0.0) is too low. Minimum required is 19.0.0
I have already installed SDK Build Tools Revision 19 from the SDK Manager and here is my build.gradle
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.10.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 17
buildToolsVersion "19.0.0"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 9
targetSdkVersion 17
}
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'Manantiales/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml'
}
}
}
How do I tell gradle to use the Build Tools 19 if it's already installed?
EDIT: I marked a different answer as The Best Answer because it was the one that worked for most people
I had the same problem this morning after updating to .6.0. You need to change you gradle version in /projectName/build.gradle
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.11.+'
Open your SDK manager and download the new version of the build tools 19.1 then change the following line in /projectName/moduleName/build.gradle
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "19.1" //This version needs to be updated to 19.1 after SDK update
...
}
Then sync your gradle files and you should be good to go!
I didn't realize that my errors changed when I changed buildToolsVersion "19.0.0" to buildToolsVersion "19.1.0" in my build.gradle.
The first error was:
Error: The SDK Build Tools revision (19.0.0) is too low for project 'android'. Minimum required is 19.1.0
The second error was a little bit different, but I didn't see it:
Error: The SDK Build Tools revision (19.0.0) is too low for project ':CordovaLib'. Minimum required is 19.1.0
So I've also changed the build.gradle inside the CordovaLib folder, and the error disappeared.
I have just recently updated my android studio to 0.6.0, and it was giving me the same problem. But my build was 19.0.3, instead of 19.1.0. I changed the buildToolsVersion "19.0.3" to --> "19.1.0" which it forced the Gradle to download the updates. I restarted my Android Studio, and the error went away. Not sure exactly how to explain, but I think it forces it to download the patch off the Maven site, and does its justice behind scenes. And just as Gabriel Matusevich said, the build.gradle is located ProjectFolder -> AppFolder -> build.gradle
Exception: I havn't completed tested this out, but I did notice the Gradle was downloaded from the site, I havn't added or deleted code, or ran the application yet. So to be sure, remember the buildToolsVersion number you had before!
Open Android SDK Manager and make sure you have Build Tools 19.1 downloaded. Double-check.
Then find build/app.gradle and change buildToolsVersion number to '19.1':
apply plugin: 'android'
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion '19.1'
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 10
targetSdkVersion 19
}
I fixed this issue by going into myAppProject/actionbarsherlock/build.gradle and changing
android {
compileSdkVersion 14
buildToolsVersion '17.0.0'
to this
android {
compileSdkVersion 14
buildToolsVersion '19.1.0'
I found the problem, build.gradle was on the wrong folder
Hi for me after download the last version of the android SDK Tools, I change the android version F4 (Module Settings)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ypuepxfwlcp4e5/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202014-06-10%2000.45.38.png
I had the same problem. This is what me solved this problem.
Step 1: Go To SDK Manager
Step 2: Upgrade your Android sdk Build-Tool From current to updated version. (In my case am upgrade it to 21.1.2)
Step 3: Rebuild your application.
This Steps Solved My Problem. Hope it solves your problem too.
i fix the problem in this way:
Go to:
projectFolder/gradle.proprieties
modify the ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION=19(or another version) to
ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION=19.1
I too faced the same problem and the fix was so simple. Just launch android SDK manager and check the latest build tools. Finally click on install packages which were selected. Now restart the IDE and try building the project.
change in build.gradle "project: layout xml"
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'
}
} allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
