'dependencies' cannot be applied to '(groovy.lang.Closure)' - android

I am unable to fix this error:
dependencies cannot be applied to '(groovy.lang.Closure)
This is my gradle file:
buildscript {
repositories {
maven { url 'http://download.crashlytics.com/maven' }
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.crashlytics.tools.gradle:crashlytics-gradle:1.+'
}
}

apply plugin: 'crashlytics'

You can go to Preferences and select "use default gradle wrapper" then rebuild the project. It worked well for me:

Go to
Windows
File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle
Mac
Preference -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle
and select Use default gradle wrapper

Based on what Android Studio generates, you need to have a top-level project file build.gradle, and another for your app build.gradle.
Top-level:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven { url 'http://download.crashlytics.com/maven' }
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'
classpath 'com.crashlytics.tools.gradle:crashlytics-gradle:1.+'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven { url 'http://download.crashlytics.com/maven' }
}
}
Application level:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'crashlytics'
android{
compileSdkVersion rootProject.compileSdkVersion
buildToolsVersion rootProject.buildToolsVersion
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion rootProject.minSdkVersion
targetSdkVersion rootProject.targetSdkVersion
versionCode rootProject.versionCode
versionName rootProject.versionName
}
buildTypes {
release {
debuggable rootProject.prodDebug
proguardFile 'proguard.cfg'
}
}
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
}
lintOptions {
abortOnError false
}
} `
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: "$buildDir/native-libs", include: 'native-libs.jar')
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
compile project(':FRNDzTER_core')
compile project(':cropper')
compile project(':stickyListHeaders')
compile "com.nostra13.universalimageloader:universal-image- l loader:${rootProject.universalImageLoaderVersion}"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play- services:${rootProject.googlePlayServicesVersion}"
compile " "de.keyboardsurfer.android.widget:crouton:${rootProject.croutonVersion}"
compile "com.nineoldandroids:library:${rootProject.nineoldandroidsVersion}"
compile 'com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:library:+'
compile 'com.crashlytics.android:crashlytics:1.+'
}
But even without all that, your problem is that you have a dependencies within your android plugin config.
android {
dependencies {
}
}
remove that empty dependencies block.
EDIT: I also started getting this error with the latest Android Studio, all I had to do was add a newer version of the Gradle plugin, and compileSdkVersion 22.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0'
classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.4'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
mavenCentral()
}
}

If you already are using the "default gradle wrapper" and it doesn't help:
In Menu click: File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart...
If it also doesn't help try in 2 steps:
1) Delete ".gradle" folder (and "build" folder if you have it already)
2) In Menu click: File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart...
After restarting the warning should disappear.
(For me it worked and for Android Studio and for IntelliJ Idea)

My problem is that the whole build.setting file were occupied with cannot be applied to '(groovy.lang.Closure)' warning messages instead of happening on any particular variable.
I have tried all solutions provided by others but none of them works for me.
I ended out doing these steps then it works like a charm. If you are encountering the same issue then give it a try.
Open and edit file: yourproject/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties. Edit content to update the gradle distribution version as shown in the image below then save.
Delete this folder: yourproject/.gradle.
Click Sync project with gradle files, then you are good to go.

I went into the preferences to try one of the other answers when I noticed a warning that my gradle home directory was wrong. So I opened up the file browser and chose the newer gradle version, and all the errors went away. Image shown below.

I bet you the problem is totally unrelated to the piece of code that is giving you warnings, most likely it's your proguard file. I had the following in my code and got the same warning:
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
By commenting out runProguard false, all of my problems go away, go figure :)

I have same problem in android studio 2.2,it work for me:
original:
android {
...
}
dependencies {
...
}
move dependencies in android:
android {
...
dependencies {
...
}
}

I solved the problem in Android Studio by Invalidating the cache and restart.
File-> Invalidate Caches / Restart..

I ran into a similar problem to this in IntelliJ for a Kotlin project. It looks like the issue was that in my project, even though it was set to use JDK 8, the language and API versions somehow got set to 1.3. See Project Preferences > Facets. In my case, I ticked "use project settings," but manually setting them per facet may work as well.

Close the project (File / Close project),
Select “Open an existing Android Studio project” on the start menu and select the folder that contains your Android project.
This work for me.

Gradle files can be made explicit in several places to avoid such errors. E.g. Change
configurations {
to
project.configurations {
or
task {
description 'foo'
to
task {
setDescription 'foo'

To fix the issue simply close the project, then select “Open an existing Android Studio project” on the start menu and select the folder that contains your Android project. Beware, select the folder, not the .iml project file.

Cut and then paste the "buildTypes" at the same place in "android" section and Re-Sync (refresh) Project

For people with M1 Intellij IDEA just add in build.gradle(:app)
//noinspection GroovyAssignabilityCheck
buildFeatures {
viewBinding
}

I fixed this issue with gradle 2.10.
Download it here : http://gradle.org/gradle-download/
And set your local gradle distribution like this :

I have searched around a lot but I cannot really find a post that helps I am somewhat new to android so some of this goes over my head. Anyway, my problems started when I got an error saying gradle plugin was old and the sync would not complete. So I changed a few things around not really sure what I did. Now I have:

Also I have installed all build tools in SDK manager I'm not allowed to embed images yet? but it says:

Android SDK Tools 25.2.2 installed
Thank YOu! I'm very lost.
You can also write like this:
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven {
url "https://maven.google.com"
}
}
}
try
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.1'
EDIT
For sdk 27
buildToolsVersion "27.0.3"
implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1"
Try adding jcenter like this way
repositories {
jcenter {
url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/"
}
}
Rather than
repositories {
jcenter()
}
Make sure that this folder exists:
\your-android-sdk\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support\appcompat-v7\24.0.1
Of course, 24.0.1 should be replaced by the latest version.
I had this problem because I occasionally renamed 24.0.1 to something else and so the required folder couldn't be found.
I had the same problem after updating Android Studio. In my case it was an issue of permissions as I do my day-to-day programming on my user account, while Android studio was installed and updated with the administrator account.
FIX:
Open the standalone SDK manager and go down to 'extras'. Click on 'Android Support Repository' (which will probably set as 'Not installed') and install the packages. If you are prompted with an error message saying something like 'error trying to rename folder'. Go to the folder that is mentioned in the message and make sure that the permissions are set correctly. After that click 'Try Again' and it should install the package without a problem.
NOTE: This might happen a few more times. Just repeat the process for each file. The problem should then be solved.
Change a character - to :
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.1'
rather than
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7-24.2.1'
try update the IDE and remove earlier build version (like 23) after installing later one and rename it to newer one.
Open SDK Manager and update the Extras-->Android Support Repository.
Path ..sdk\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support\appcompat-v7>
Check for the updated version being installed.
In build.gradle in all projects, add Marvel and add this URL 'https://maven.google.com'

Gradle build error: Failed to resolve:

I just downloaded Android Studio and created a new project and I'm getting gradle build errors:
Failed to resolve: com.android.support.test.espresso-core:2.2.2
and
Failed to resolve: com.android.support.appcompat-v7:25.3.1
This error was resolved reinstalling the SDK Tools + Repository + API when launching android studio as admin.
I've installed API Level 25 which what I want to build on and have downloaded the SDK Build-Tools. I have also already download the support repository
Here's my app file:

}
}
allprojects {
repositories {

}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
From the SDK manager, make sure you have both the Android Support Repository and Google Repository installed and up to date. You should then be able to find the relevant artifacts in sub folders of your /extras/android/m2repository directory
From your error it seems that you are not including espresso libraries. The solution to this is adding espresso core library which is part Android Testing support library which is hosted in the google's Maven repository think this as kind of git repository but for dependencies.
So we tell the gradle build system to look in the Maven repository for dependencies by specifying its URL.
This is done by adding Maven url in the application level build.gradle file under repositories block
repositories {
jcenter()
maven{
url "https://maven.google.com"
}
}
and in the module level build.gradle file mention the dependencies that you want from the maven repository by mention their name as follows:
dependencies{
//other dependencies go here
//testing dependencies
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'
}
That is the reason for including Maven repository url in the app level build.gradle file, hope this helps.
In project.gradle file, the allprojects root align this way:
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}
jitpack is used as the dependency for multiple libraries, if you're not using any sort of library that don't requires it then not include maven line.
Well, I don't know the perfect answer but..... how about comparing with my SDK Tools?
I solved it by uninstalling Android Studios and deleting old versions of Android Studios in my C:\Users[Username] and reinstalled Android Studio as administrator.
It seems like you updated android studio and opening previous project in it.The simplest way is create new project and copy
1. compileSdkVersion 26
2. buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"
3. targetSdkVersion 26
4. compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+'
and paste them in appropriate places in app level build gradle.
it will ask to update to take advantages .. allow it to update.
best luck ... It worked for me.
if your project is Flutter,
clean project [by 'flutter clean' command]
In project.gradle file add [ google() ]
in Android studio: File Menu -> Invalidate...
project.gradle:
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
}

Android Build Gradle doesn't complete

I had a problem to run android-studios build gradle, so I tested many solution but unfortunately I couldn't solve my problem:
Now i uninstall my old Android studio and Android-sdk , then I download android studio 1.5.1 that contains default SDK .
I install them and I create an empty project , But it take 30 minutes to build project, I will add dialog window that shown in this period of time .
Finally project created with this error :
Error:(23, 17) Failed to resolve: junit:junit:4.12
Could any one help me ,please ?

}
testCompile is the configuration for unit tests (located in src/test) and androidTestCompile is used for the test api (located in src/androidTest).
The main distinction between the two is that test runs in a regular Java JVM, and androidTest tests run on an Android device (or an emulator).
So, use
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
instead of
androidTestCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
source: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/unit-testing-support
I think you have SSL problem.
Try by replacing
jcenter { url 'http://jcenter.bintray.com' }
with
jcenter()
in both repository blocks in build.gradle file and try to build gradle again.
I change jcenter() to mavenCentral() in build.gradle .
So my problem solved
EDIT:
This issue was related to my proxy . So I could not download from jcenter().
If you have a problem same this one, please check your Internet proxy .

Gradle failed to resolve library in Android Studio

compile 'com.lemonlab:expandable-button-menu:1.0.0'
compile files('libs/pinchzoom.jar')
}
You go File->Settings->Gradle
Look at the "Offline work" inbox, if it's checked u uncheck and try to sync again
I have the same problem and i try this , the problem resolved. Good luck !
I had the same problem, the first thing that came to mind was repositories. So I checked the build.gradle file for the whole project and added the following code, then synchronized the gradle with project and problem was solved!
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
Some time you may just need to add maven { url "https://jitpack.io" } in your allprojects block in project level build.gradle file.
Example:
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}
To be able to use a lib project you need to include it in your application's settings.gradle add:
include '..:ExpandableButtonMenu:library'
and then in your build.gradle add:
compile project(':..:ExpandableButtonMenu:library')
place ExpandableButtonMenu project along side your own (same folder)
see this How to build an android library with Android Studio and gradle? for more details.
Solved by using "http://jcenter.bintray.com/" instead of "https://jcenter.bintray.com/".
repositories {
jcenter( { url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/" } )
}
Well, it's co.lemonlabs, you have a typo in your build.gradle:
compile 'co.lemonlabs:expandable-button-menu:1.0.0'
Source: https://github.com/lemonlabs/ExpandableButtonMenu#including-in-your-project
Check to see if your gradle is offline. Preferences-ProjectSettings-Gradle.
If you're trying to add a library while offline, you'll see that error. Also, try Build-Clean, it may provide you with more detail.
Try this
Clean project
Invalidate cache and restart studio
Check android SDK path is proper
Check is there any error in any of your resource file
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
I added this in build.gradle, and it worked.
For me follwing steps helped.
It seems to be bug of Android Studio 3.4/3.5 and it was "fixed" by disabling:
File → Settings → Experimental → Gradle → Only sync the active variant
i had the same problem, i added the following lines in build.gradle
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
maven {
url 'http://dl.bintray.com/dev-fingerlinks/maven'
}
mavenCentral()
}
}
If adding repositories didn't work, check that your settings.gradle contains:
repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.PREFER_PROJECT)
