Gradle project sync failed? - android

When I started up my project this morning it randomly gave me a message saying Gradle project sync failed. Basic Functionality(eg. editing, debugging) will not work properly. in Android Studio. I looked at other answers that people had put up for this problem but they haven't been working. I invalidated my chaches/restarted my project but no luck. I also deleted my .gradle folder from my project folder and still no luck. If any of you guys could help me that would be awesome! This didn't happen yesterday when I was working on the project or anything, I wonder why its happening now. Oh yea it also says this as a gradle message: Error:C:\Users\Dave\.gradle\caches\2.2.1\scripts\settings_ad4t0wp5ikihzl1y1o83b5sbw\SettingsScript\buildscript\cache.properties (The system cannot find the file specified) :
Thanks again for anyone who reads this/ can help!

There is a file - "cache.properties" that gradle creates for you, upon first time inception of any project. The path for this file is "~Home_Directory\.gradle\2.2.1\taskArtifacts". You may find this path in your home directory. So basically, this file - "cache.properties" is missing from the "taskArtifacts" folder.
One of the solution that worked for me is to copy file - "cache.properties" from any test project of yours to this project that's currently experiencing an issue.

I had to choose using the Default Gradle Wrapper instead of local.
<< SETTINGS -->/ BUILD TOOLS --> Gradle --> radio button switch... >>
It has helped me to fix the same problem.

I had experience similar sync failed problem with gradle based android project (in Android Studio 1.1.0). I solved this problem without deleting .gradle from my user directory,
steps I followed was
Go to File -> Settings -> Compiler(Gradle Based Android Project)
Change VM options to -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m.
Click Apply -> OK and then tap on Try Again option in sync failed message to clean build the project.
Works like charm!!
UPDATE - 1 : For Android Studio 1.3, Compiler option mentioned in above Step-1 is present inside tab Build, Execution, Deployment.

I had faced similar kind of problem earlier!
But don`t know after rebuild the project and cleaning it, it worked normally.

Invalidate dependency cache by running
gradle clean build --refresh-dependencies
from project root and then re-import your project. Worked for me once.

May be you have put Android Studio into offline mode. To fix it, go to Preferences -> Gradle and ensure that the "Offline work" checkbox is not checked.
Than do
File -> Invalidate caches / Restart
Shutdown Android Studio
Rename/remove .gradle folder in the user home directory
Restart Android Studio let it download all the Gradle stuff it needs

Can I please know, how this layout file will be enabled to work further!
Thanks all.
This problem occurs many times because of project is not synced properly or gradle is not synced or both project and gradle not synced or maybe you are opening your project after few days
the solution is
Build -> Clean Project
Build -> Rebuild Project
File -> Sync Project
i have added the screen shots
Invalid cache
Shortcuts for Sync
if you are using windows ctrl+alt+y
for MAC command+option+y

Gradle sync failed: Cause: startup failed (Basic functionality not working)

It is my first time to use android studio V 3.1.3
when i finished installation and trying to build this error is shown
it said that "Basic functioality not working correctly such as building and debugging "
i do not known how to solve it
i use a local gradle distribution like this
Then press on sync project with gradles files
but this error is still shown.
It works well but after that this error is happened
any help
Thanks in advance.
I also have the same problems as you,Now I have solved it.
The following are the steps to be solved
Exit Android Studio.
Delete the .gradle folder eg: C:\Users{userName}}.gradle
Restart androidStudio and wait a moment.
Have you tried
Android studio -> File -> Invalidate Caches/Restart -> Invalidate and Restart
Deleting the .gradle folder was unsuccessfull for me.
Still waiting for another solution.
you should go to settings > build,execution,Deployment > build tool > gradle
and the change the user gradle home that to path of environment variable of JAVA-HOME Address
Like this
and then change gradle JDK to Embedded JDK it will solve your problem

Error:Failed to open zip file. Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt

I updated android studio 2.3 and there is a bug, gradle doesn't build and it keeps giving me the same error for all projects.
Error:Failed to open zip file.
Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
I have already searched for a solution, but have not found any. I tried:
Invalidate Caches / Restart...
but nothing has changed.
Repair Gradle Installation
This usually happens when something goes wrong in Android Studio's first launch (eg. system crash, connection loss or whatever).
To resolve this issue close Android Studio and delete the following directory's content, necessary files will be downloaded on IDE's next launch.
macOS: ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists
Linux: ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists
Windows: C:\Users\your-username\.gradle\wrapper\dists
While downloading Gradle manually works, I recommend letting Android Studio do the work for you.
UPDATE 17 JULY 2018:
Even if the following solution still works as of today,I've found (thanks to the answer posted by Hamid Asghari and to the comment posted by Mahendra Dabi) that simply deleting the gradle dist directory and performing a reboot of the ide, will fix the issue (please read Hamid post for a full answer, and remember that OSX and Linux have the same gradle path).
If you still want to follow my original solution, you should at least consider using a more up-to-date version of Gradle (direct link of the gradle distribution repo: https://services.gradle.org/distributions/)
Original answer (dated 7 March 2017):
I've faced the same issue this morning after upgrading Android Studio to 2.3.
To solve the issue:
1) Manually download Gradle 3.3 binary (direct link: https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-bin.zip)
2) Open your android studio root directory, and extract the zip to the gradle folder (for example in my Debian machine the full path is /opt/android-studio/gradle/gradle-3.3)
3) Open Android Studio, go to File->Settings->Build, Exectution, Deployment->Gradle and set "Gradle home" to point your new gradle-3.3 folder.
4) Sync and you are ready to go!
I faced the same issue 2 days ago and today I was able to solve it like this:
Go to this path C:\Users\user_name\.gradle\wrapper\dists where user_name is your username if its you own PC or your company's name.
Delete the latest gradle-****-all files since your latest update of android studio (ex. 2.3 or another version).
If your android studio is open, close it then reopen it. A newer Gradle version will be downloaded, it will take time depending on your internet speed, the download size is around 150-200 MB before extraction so if android studio takes a long time to refresh just know its downloading. (To check the download progress right click on the new gradle folder, go to properties and check the size).
Find 'gradle-wrapper.properties' in root project
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip
Change "https" to "http".
There are Following Steps to solve this issue.
1. Go to C:\Users\ ~User Name~ \.gradle\wrapper\dists.
2. Delete all the files and folders from dists folder.
3. If Android Studio is Opened then Close any opened project and Reopen the project. The Android Studio Will automatic download all the required files.
(The required time is as per your Internet Speed (Download Size will be about "89 MB"). To see the progress of the downloading Go to C:\Users\ ~User Name~ \.gradle\wrapper\dists folder and check the size of the folder.)
just remove and reDownload wrapper gradle.
Mac Home/.gradle/wrapper/dists/
remove gradle version and sync gradle in project and run project.
Go to Project pane> Android > Gradle Scripts and open "graddle-wrapper.properties" file check the distribution URL:
Go to your ".gradle/wrapper/dists/" folder and remove that file for me it was "gradle-5.6.4-all"
Then go back to android studio and click on File > Sync Project with Gradle Files. And it will start to download again
****Following solution is working for me****
Manually deleted all files from C:\Users\Admin.gradle\wrapper\dists\
where Admin is my user name
Android Studio 4.1.1 has this bug,
In gradle-wrapper.properties
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-bin.zip
This won't download and always gives 'gradle cache corrupt' error, but a small change makes it work fine
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-all.zip
Now sync the gradle again and it's done.
1.Go to "/Users/****/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-.-all/*****".
2.Delete the "gradle-.-all.zip.lck" file.
3.Invalidate Cache and Restart.
you do not need to clean all files in dir
C:\Users\ ~User Name~ \.gradle\wrapper\dists.
and download all of them again
instead you can just delete the folder of gradle version you failed to download. In my case it was gradle-4.4-all so i just deleted that folder and android studio re downloaded gradle-4.4-all for me
In case you don't know version you was downloading:
Just go to help menu > show logs in explorer
their you will find idea.log open it and search for
Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distribution`
once you find it you will find gradle version you failed to download
This was the best solution for me, just follow this path C:\Users\yourusername.gradle\wrapper\dists then delete all the files inside this folder. Close your android studio and restart it and it will automatically download the updated gradle files.
I was upgrading gradle from 4.1 to 4.10 and my internet connection timed out.
So I fixed this issue by deleting "gradle-4.10-all" folder in .gradle/wrapper/dists
Taking a cue from #Mikel Yang, I found out that instead of deleting the ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists/ folder (which will means downloading the gradle files for different apps on my Android Studio), I decided to change the gradle.wrapper.properties file to any latest gradle --all.zip. So
Find 'gradle-wrapper.properties' in root project
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-{lastest}-all.zip
this way l get to save some data and time.
This happened to me because of a partially downloaded gradle distribution zip
To resolve simply go to below path
"C:/Users/your_username/.gradle"
OR
pull your gradle path from
File->Settings->Build, Exectution, Deployment-> Gradle -> gradle service directory path.
Delete the partially downloaded distribution gradle folder
Go to Studio (no need to restart) and perform gradle sync
Go to "File" in android studio, Click "invalidate caches/Restart" and "Invalidate and Restart"
That also works
I faced the issue, In my understanding, It is because of invalid combination of Android Studio And Gradle Plugin versions. I was using Gradle version 5.4.1 and Studio version 3.4, hence I updated the Android studio to 3.5 and the issue got resolved
You can delete the latest gradle-.-all folder from the below path
Windows: C:\Users\your-username.gradle\wrapper\dists
find file gradle-wrapper.properties
update with :
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5.1-all.zip
1). Android studio-> file-> "Invalidate Caches/Restart" -> "Invalidate and Restart"
wait for gradle sync
2). Download gradle.x.x.x-bin.zip using browser
unzip it and place it in ".gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-x.x.x-bin\xxxxxxxxxxx(auto generated folder)/
then restart android studio

Gradle compiling old project

i am using android studio 0.9.2. I copied project folder(all folders projectname->.gradle,.idea,app,build,gradle and all files placed in this level) and renamed it and then in android studio i goto FILE-> CLOSE which close current opened project. Now i open again the project which i have copied. When i make some changes in code its not effecting compiler or debugger. I have debugged my code and found that my change in code does not take affect.
I have tried FILE->INVALIDATE CACHE AND RESTART and then check again but no luck. I have also closed my android studio and run it again but still i am facing same issue
I think its compiling old project which is last opened project.
Any help will be highly appreciated?
Try cleaning the project. There are three ways to achieve that:
via Menu: Build -> Clean Project
via gradle run gradlew clean
delete all the build directories in your project/modules
After that compile your project again (e.g. with the green play button) and you should be done.
I have a question. Is your gradle setting is in offline mode? Try turning it to online mode.
Also, just to add to above answer, Do you have any gradle dependencies with other project?
If so, also try cleaning those archives from your project folder within .m2 (maven) folder.

Syncing Android Studio project with Gradle files

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
