Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip'
I have just installed Android Studio 3.5 on windows and then created new project then above exception occurs.
I have searched on google regarding the above error but none resolved.
Below are the links which I have tried but none worked
Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.1-all.zip'
Eclipse -Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.1-bin.zip'
Is this issue is with Antivirus which is installed in local machine ?.I am just guessing, is this because of Antivirus ?
I was trying with this since 3 days.Please help me on this.Any help would be appreciated.
I had the same problem and eventually I figured out that running Android Studio as administrator solves it. You can at least give it a try!
Steps to fix:
Close Android studio.
Right click on launcher icon of Android Studio
Click on "Run as administrator"
It will run like charm.
Goto gradle-wrapper
and see carefully the URL
distributionUrl=https \ ://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1.1-all.zip
now correct the https \ :// to https://
and click on "try again upside."
it will took download the file and run automatically.
And after successful run promote thi$ answer.
Open your gradle-wrapper.properties and modify your distributionUrl to point to gradle-5.4.1-all.zip, i.e.
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip
Change classpath to 3.5.0
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0'
...
}
}
Close your Android Studio, whatever version you are using.
Start it again with administrative log in.
Android Studio will detect what needs to be updated or downloaded.
Automatically it will resolve the issue.
5.5.1 is out now, try upgrading to that using ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=5.5.1 and see if that makes a difference. This is preferable to editing any Gradle files manually.
For me, i re-downloaded the new and latest version of android studio, installed it full.
that solved the problem for me.
download gradle 5.4.1 manually from https://downloads.gradle-dn.com/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip and extract the file and please it in .gralde file in your android project.
then restart the android studio
In case the complete error message is something like:
Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip'.
error in opening zip file
You need to delete two files( under your .gradle/wrapper/dists/* directory):
gradle-5.4.1-all.zip
gradle-5.4.1-all.zip.lck
Then try again to download dependencies or upgrade.
Sometimes it might be due to the broken files in .gradle file.
This is an hidden folder in installation directory. Remove the dists folder from this location and go to File -> Invalidate Caches/Restarts.
For me it helped.
rm -rf .gradle/wrapper/dists
I got the same issue in new "Android Studio Bumblebee | 2021.1.1" release. Like "Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-gradle-7.2-all.zip'".
I did the following steps,
Step 1:
I did the same steps mentioned here- https://stackoverflow.com/a/59420289/1122622 ,
Like,
Close Android studio.
Right click on launcher icon of Android Studio
Click on "Run as administrator".
Step 2:
Also, verified with official gradle URL- https://services.gradle.org/distributions/ , the given link was right or wrong.
Step 3:
Don't forget to restart the Android Studio once the gradle download was completed.
After all the above 3 steps your issue will be resolved for sure and it will be applicable for upcoming gradle upgrade issue.
Note: Also verify "Do not build Gradle task list during Gradle sync" is enabled, in File->Settings->Experimental->Gradle.
Check if you accidently changed Gradle user home path. Goto Preference in Android studio, search for gradle and check gradle user home path.
It should be like:
/Users/mac/.gradle/
From: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
To: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0'
And the gradle version:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1.1-all.zip
GL
I got this error while opening a very old project, the reason was that it was trying to fetch over http and not https. Update the distributionUrl path to https in the path \<project directory\>\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties and run the android studio in admin mode.
Please check the value of checksum that you are using in the 'gradle-wrapper.properties' for the version that you are using. It could also be a problem and you get the same error.
Find the value of checksum for the gradle versions at below link:
https://gradle.org/release-checksums/
1-Create new project on android studio
2-open the new project gradle-wrapper.properties
3-copie the new distributionUrl
4-paste it on your own project
5-click on try again
this will correct error
My solution is just turn on the offline mode, and give the wrong version value like "https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.2.1-all.zip", it shows the error like no offline package available and asks me to try in offline mode, then just replace with the exact correct value and turn off the offline mode, then click try again, it is worked for me.
Change this distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-bin.zip
to distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-bin.zip
Then click file, in the dropdown click invalidate Caches
Worked for me these steps
Goto->
gradle-wrapper.properties
Update this (backward slash after https)
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-bin.zip
to
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-bin.zip
and
Sync the project or click on "try again" option appearing on top
and restart the Android studio, it will automatically download required files.
Just find gradle-wrapper.properties in your IDE. And change version in
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip' to distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.8.3-bin.zip
Ensure the Network connection is very good and keep on retrying. Sometimes i tap retry few times before it works.
I've installed Android studio 3.0.1 then tried to build very first app by choosing an empty activity, but I've got this message:
Gradle project sync failed. Basic functionality (e.g. editing, debugging) will not work properly
and the error message like this:
Unable to resolve dependency for ':app#releaseUnitTest/compileClasspath': Could not resolve com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0.

The first part of log message is like this:
2018-01-03 11:11:12,671 [d thread 8] WARN - ect.sync.idea.ProjectSetUpTask - Already seen doctype.
Consult IDE log for more details (Help | Show Log)
2018-01-03 11:11:12,671 [d thread 8] INFO - e.project.sync.GradleSyncState - Gradle sync failed: Already seen doctype.
I've tried some suggested solutions like changing gradle version, update Kotlin plugin(!) and so, but they didn't work.
Any solution?
This problem occurs when the Build Tools Version is not set for the project.
You just set the build tools version by following this process...
By opening your project structure [File->Project Structure] and selecting the Build Tools Version from app's property tab in Modules section.
This will add build tools version to your gradle file (Module:app) and re-sync the project.
The problem caused by my connection. I needed to set proxy to download some components.
For me the issue was one of the external libraries required SDK 28 but android studio didnt have it so it did not work. I installed SDK 28 and the problem was fixed. I saw the problem in the log file it generated
The error happens under fluctuating network. So at first make sure your connection is stable. Plus, if you are using any VPN check your gradle.properties is configured correctly.
The correct form of VPN connection on gradle.properties is as follows,
systemProp.http.proxyHost=127.0.0.1
systemProp.http.proxyPort=8080
systemProp.https.proxyHost=127.0.0.1
systemProp.https.proxyPort=8080
My host connection is 127.0.0.1, and its port is 8080 for both http and https.
Just one more thing, make sure adding https (It is mandatory).
I had the same problem when i was upgrading to android studio 3.1.2 and the problem i was using the previous JDK which i installed before 5 years back.
The steps:-
Go to File -> Project Structures -> SDK Location -> JDK Location -> check the
Option Use embedded JDK (recommended).
I tried all suggestions, only one works for me:
open 'Gradle' tab on right vertical panel
right click on project name
'Refresh Gradle Dependencies' and wait background downloading
right click on project name again
'Reload Gradle Project' and wait refreshing
I was also stuck with the same issue for quite few minutes till I figured out the solution:
So you have to visit Gradle Releases and
there scroll down a little bit and you will find the plugin version and required gradle version. Make sure you use the latest version of both or the ones which are compatible with each other.
For today I am using :
Android Gradle Plugin Version - 7.0.2
Gradle Version - 7.2
You can update it by navigating to:
> File -> Project Structure -> Project
Suddenly My Project showing this Error(Gradle project sync failed. Basic functionality (e.g. editing, debugging) will not work properly). Then i Try to various solutions but not solved.
Then i close the android studio, and open the project location and delete the .idea and .iml file, After deleting this file open the project again on Android studio, after that the project working fine.
I had the same problem, I did download gradle version and used it as a local distribution.
Settings/Build,../Gradle/Use local distribution.
Else you will have to reinstall all the software.
The solution is kinda of very simple.
It's because the "compileSdkVersion" that you are using
in your build.gradle (Module:app) is higher than the SDK installed in your Android studio.
Now, what to do?
Just go on SDK Manager and download an Api Level higher or equal to your "compileSdkVersion" and you're done
Look at the manifest, something may have to go wrong there. In my case I had this label
<uses-sdk android: minSdkVersion = "7" android: targetSdkVersion = "15" />, which was from an example.
Then the error is displayed, and the correspondent is now updated <uses-sdk android: minSdkVersion = "15" android: targetSdkVersion = "27" />
As #oyeraghib said,
Visit this link to check the compatibility of your Android Gradle Plugin in comparison with Gradle itself. I was using an older version of both and updated to version 7 in both.
File -> Project Structure -> Project
It may take a while. Wait for it to load.
change the grade version to the latest one in gradle-wrapper
Gradle project sync failed. Basic functionality (e.g. editing, debugging) will not work properly
Go to gradle scripts -> build gradle(app) -> made following changes:
Finally it works.
I am getting this kind of error, how to fix it.
Error:Unable to load class 'org.gradle.tooling.internal.protocol.test.InternalTestExecutionConnection'.
Possible causes for this unexpected error 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 updated my Android Studio to 2.3 and it asked me to update my gradle plugin to 3.3 that created issues with my running projects.
I've gone through all the Stack solutions and nothing worked for me except this workaround:
I changed my distribution url in gradle-wrapper.properties with this one.
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.2-all.zip
(permanent link list here : https://services.gradle.org/distributions/)
My project is up and running.It just asked me to update to gradle build tools 25.0.0 which I did so. Everything is fine now :)
Go to the project section and select gradle scripts menu.
Under script, menu select gradle -wrapper.properties
Then replace the distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2-all.zip with "distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.4.1-all.zip"
note: distributions gradle will change depended upon the version of the android studio.
Make sure you have Internet Connection then:
1.For Window Users Go to > C:\Users\username\.gradle\wrapper\dists
2.For Linux users
Go to $HOME/.gradle (~/.gradle) and/or (Under Specific project)
<PROJECT_DIR>/.gradle
3.Delete the gradle file(s) with the problem(i.e the zipped folders with
missing with no its extracted file )
4.Sync the project with gradle files.
Delete corrupt files
This error occurs when Gradle files are not completely downloaded or corrupted by some other reason, so we have to redownload the files.
The easy way is to delete the old files in
C:\Users\username.gradle\wrapper\dists
and rebuild the project, Android Studio will automatically download the new files.
Watch the Tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u92_73vfA8M
or
follow steps :
Go to any browser
type gradle and press enter
you can specify any version you want after the
gradle keyword
i am downloading gradle 3.3
https://services.gradle.org/distributions
click on this link which is in description directly if you want
click on gradle 3.3 all.zip
wait for the download to complete
once the download is complete
extract the file to the location
c://user/your pc name /.gradle/wrapper/dists
wait till extraction it takes 5 mins to complete
Now open your project in android studio
9.go to file > settings >bulid ,exec,deployment > gradle
now change use default gradle to
use local gradle distributn
select the location where you had extracted gradle 3.3.zip
C:\Users\your pc name.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-3.3
click on OK
Now build starts again and
you can see now the build is successful and error is resolved
If you manually setup gradle also make sure projects build.gradle verison is compatible with it. See following as an example.
Project's build.gradle
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.2'
}
Manual gradle setup
A lot of answer to this questions but a few were helping. I want to give accurate and updated answer.
Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
This error happens when you bad internet connection or you put your computer to sleep while Android Studio is downloading the required dependencies.
How to resolve this issue.
Find out the project's Gradle version. You will find that in gradle-wrapper.properties in distributionUrl my gradle distribution was https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-all.zip that means gradle-6.5-all.zip is required to download and right now it is corrupted because of connection timeout. Lets find out this folder and delete this.
Go to $HOME/.gradle folder then to wrapper then to dists then find a folder that matches the gradle version name that required to download. In my case it was gradle-6.5-all.zip select this folder and delete it.
Now sync the project and make sure you have good internet connection and setting that will prevent your system going to sleep while downloading something.
Kindly delele all folders under the in /.graddle/version/
This is how i solved mine. good luck
Maybe you can run ./gradlew build -s in the terminal, the stacktrace would show you where went wrong.
Try the next step to "Refresh" your IDE (android studio)
1. Let Gradle rebuild your auto-genrated files by click Build | Rebuild
2. Also try Choose File | Invalidate Caches/Restart.
I resolved this issue by downloading current version of graddle from link given
download latest version of graddle possibly graddle 3.3
Then in next step i accessed .graddle/wrapper/dists dirctory from home directory on my Mac after showing up hidden system files and deleted previuos version folder residing there.
Now i put that downloaded latest version folder after uncompressing there.
Now restarted Android studio and problem was resolved.
If you are seeing this error in Android Studio 4.1 with Gradle 6.5 then you should move back to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.2'
For some reason
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.0'
does not work correctly.
You can try this
first Open your Android Studio > open any project you're doing
click on File > Settings > Build,Execution,Deployment > Gradle
At Project-Level settings , there are 2 option to sync the gradle either usin the default or local.
now change from default to a local gradle distribution > gradle Home
select the path on your computer.
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\gradle-4.1
click on OK
Now build starts again it should be solved.
Go to "C:\Users\.gradle\caches\". Delete all the files in the folder. Then Sync Gradle and Rebuild the project.
i deleted the gradle folder and then i did rebuild, every thing working fine
If you using Ubuntu, So firstly you have unhide all files from your home directory or where located your android studio folder :
Go to your home directory and unhide all files by using ctrl+h
You found .gradle folder
Inside .gradle -> wrapper
You can found dists folder, So delete this dists folder
Create a New Project than your Gradle file re-downloaded
Congo you successfully build project
check out distributionUrl setting in gradle-wrapper.properties. I changed https to http, then my problem was solved.
In my case,just change http to https in the gradle-wrapper and Sync it.
Just reimport project. :)
I tried cleaning up the cache and refreshing dependencies doesn't work but failed.
Clear .gradle folder and rebuild
Open C:\Users\Username.gradle\wrapper\dists\
Open latest gradle folder, e.g. gradle-4.1-rc-1-all
You will find a random folder named 936kh1brdchce6fvd2c1o8t8x
Download zip file of similar name
eg: https://downloads.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-rc-1-all.zip
Save it in this folder
Restart Android studio
It will automatically extract the zip folder and Error will clear
Finally solved this problem.
If you just copy new version's files to old folder and override files,you may face the same question as me.
To solve it:
makesure you saved your all settings.
close AS,DELETE ALL files of your mixed version.
extract new version to your empty folder.
It works for me.
For me, i was cloning a project from github which used a version of gradle higher than that which i had installed. I had two choices:
Open gradle.wrapper-properties of a project you have that's building successfully, and copy the line that says distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.1-all.zip. Use this to replace the same value in the project that's failing. That should do the trick.
Your build might still fail if the gradle version used to build the project is higher than that which you just added. For this you should update the gradle version to the latest.
In my case I hade to change from:
plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
id 'kotlin-android'
id 'kotlin-kapt'
**apply plugin :'com.google.gms.google-services'**
}
to
plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
id 'kotlin-android'
id 'kotlin-kapt'
id 'com.google.gms.google-services'
}
search on google "download java 11"
click oracle website download your java to your platform and install it.
go to android studio click CTRL+SHIFT+ALT(Project Structure)
SDK Location Tab Show the path of JDK location which you installed
In your 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.
I will generalize the issue that you might face
Inside module's build.gradle :
Change:
plugins {
[...]
apply plugin:'whatever_you_have'
}
to
plugins {
[...]
id 'whatever_you_have'
}
In other words instead of apply plugin: use id
Unable to find method ''void
com.android.build.api.extension.AndroidComponentsExtension$DefaultImpls.androidTest$default(com.android.build.api.extension.AndroidComponentsExtension,
com.android.build.api.extension.VariantSelector,
kotlin.jvm.functions.Function1, int, java.lang.Object)'' 'void
com.android.build.api.extension.AndroidComponentsExtension$DefaultImpls.androidTest$default(com.android.build.api.extension.AndroidComponentsExtension,
com.android.build.api.extension.VariantSelector,
kotlin.jvm.functions.Function1, int, java.lang.Object)'
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.
It happened to me after upgrading Android Studio to 4.2.0.
Updating the hilt classpath on build.gradle to 2.35 fixed these issues for me.
classpath "com.google.dagger:hilt-android-gradle-plugin:$2.35"
If you have updated your android studio, then go to FILE, Project Structure, Project, then check gradle version. Before that check your gradle version in C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle and check the version if it matches then sync again else change the gradle version in android studio and sync again.
I had a similar problem after cloning AnySoftKeyboard and opening it in Android Studio. What worked for me was deleting the AynSoftKeyboard/gradle folder and then cleaning the project via menu item Build > Clean Project.
So try deleting YourProject/gradle folder and clean the project to trigger a Gradle sync.
Hope it works for your case.
download gradle from here for your OS and extract the file and paste the inner folder into installLocation/gradle
than in Android Studio Goto File > Settings > bulid ,exec,deployment > gradle and choose local gradle option and provide the file path of your new downloaded gradle and hit ok it works :)
I have a Gradle file that runs the tests. It does not build anything. All it has is a unzip task that extracts all jars in a Gradle configuration into a particular directory and then runs the task of type Test. This test task points the testClasses directory to the location where the previous copy task has extracted the configuration into.
My build fails with the error message:
Problems reading data from Binary store
When I run 'gradle dependencies' it does not show any error/warning
When I run the copy task individually, it runs very well fine.
Only when I run everything it fails with error :
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':testConfig'.$
> Problems reading data from Binary store in /tmp/gradle8793563212642185736.bin (exist: false)$
I see the file /tmp/gradle8793563212642185736.bin does not exist. What could be the reason for this?
I solved upgrading following packages to last version (06/02/2021), so:
project app-level build.gradle file:
com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:17.2.2
to
com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:18.0.2
Project-level build.gradle file:
com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3
to
com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.5
In my case setting org.gradle.parallel=false flag fixes the issue, but it's not a solution for my project, flag increase CI build time from ~15min to ~45min.
Turns out it was just a network problem for me. Gradle just needed to connect to the internet.
It happened with Flutter development in my case. Apparently, it is not an actual issue and there is no magic fix. Cleaning build file with "Flutter clean" and restarting the command line executer window solved the issue.
I was working with version 5.x earlier and then I upgraded to 6.0.1 and it resolved the issue.
this is how you can upgrade
cd android
./gradlew clean
./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 6.0.1
./gradlew -v # to download the new version
cd ..
flutter clean
flutter run # might take 15 - 20mins for the first time
There are mainly a few steps to solve this problem.
Go to gradle.properties and set org.gradle.parallel=false and sync. Make sure your sync gradle offline option is off
Start the build with this option. If it's a big project setting org.gradle.parallel=false will take a long time.
Cancel the build repeat the steps setting org.gradle.parallel=true.
Also do not turn on offline build
This solution worked in my flutter project. I solved it by making these changes:
In android level build.gradle file, replace classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.4' with classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1' (basically upgrade the version from 3.5.4 to 4.0.1)
In gradle-wrapper.properties file, replace distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.2-all.zip with distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1.1-all.zip (upgrade from 5.6.2 to 6.1.1)
and if you have added classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3' to android level build.gradle file, replace that too with classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.5' (upgrade from 4.3.3 to 4.3.5)
In my case the writing problem was there was no enough storage to build the app so I needed to restart my Mac and it finished building successfully.
I know am too late but it might help someone in the future so
Start by upgrading Gradle to the latest version.
Binary store issues reported to GitHub are often fixed right away, especially if they include a Minimal, Reproducible Example.
If upgrading didn't work, it can be useful to run the task again with Performance options disabled:
--no-parallel
--no-configure-on-demand
Next please find an existing issue or open a new one so it can be fixed in future versions. These things are all helpful:
Minimal, Reproducible Example
Build Scan
Smallest change that introduced the problem (e.g. worked on 5.5, but not 5.6)
I ended up here after publishing an artifact to mavenLocal().
I tried a lot but in the end what helped me was:
Upgrading gradle from 6.3 to 6.9
./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 6.9
Hope this saves me half an hour next time this occurs.
Thanks to Cedric's hint, stopping gradle offline mode and make it online, fixed the issue for me

Though late in answering, this is a hard one to Google (the single quotes) and it’s not clear what’s happening. I don't have the reputation yet to comment or ask for scope (or post 3 links), so this answer may be a little tedious.
To answer fast, you may have multiple Gradle plugins in your project.
Synchronize Gradle Wrapper and Plugins
My issue seemed to start with a corrupted IML file. Android Studio (between closing and reopening a project) began complaining an IML was gone (it wasn’t) and a module should be deleted, which I declined. It persisted, I upgraded to AS 0.8.7 (canary channel) and got stuck on the OP issue (Task '' not found in root project). This completely blocked builds so I had to dig in to Gradle.
My repair steps on OSX (please adjust for Windows):
Upgrade Android Studio to 0.8.7
Preferences | Updates | Switch "Beta Channel" to "Canary Channel", then do a Check Now.
You might be able to skip this.
Checked the Gradle wrapper (currently 1.12.2; don’t try to use 2.0 at this time).
Assuming you don’t need a particular version, use the latest supported distribution
$ vi ~/project/gradle-wrapper.properties ... distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.12-all.zip
This can be set in Android Studio at Preferences | Gradle (but 0.8.7 was giving me ‘invalid location’ errors).
The 'wrapper' is just a copy of Gradle for each Android Studio project. It allows you to have Gradle 2 in your OS, and different versions in your projects. The Android Developer docs explain that here.
Then adjust your build.gradle files for the plugin. The Gradle plugin version must be compatible with the distribution/wrapper version, for the whole project. As the Tools documentation (tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Requirements) is slightly out of date, you can set the plugin version too low (like 0.8.0) and Android Studio will throw an error with the acceptable range for the wrapper.
Example, in build.gradle, you have this plugin:
dependencies {
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.+"
}
You can try switching it to the exact version, like this:
dependencies {
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.2"
}
and (after recording what version you’re changing from in each case) verifying that every build.gradle file in your project pulls in the same plugin version. Keeping the “+” should work (for 0.12.0, 0.12.1, 0.12.2, etc), but my build succeeded when I updated Google’s Volley library (originally gradle:0.8.+) and my main project (originally 0.12.+) to the fixed version: gradle:0.12.2.
Other checks
Ensure you don’t have two Android Application modules in the same Project
This may interact with the final solution (different Gradle versions, above), and cause
UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define (various classes)
To check, Build | Make Project should not pop up a window asking what application you want to make.
Invalidate your caches
File | Invalidate Caches / Restart (stackoverflow.com/a/19223269/513413)
If step 2 doesn't work, delete ~/.gradle/ (www.wuttech.com/index.php/tag/groovy-lang-closure/)
Quit Android Studio
$ rm -rf ~/.gradle/
Start Android Studio, then sync:
Tools | Android | Sync Project with Gradle Files
Repeat this entire sequence (quit...sync) a few times before giving up.
Clean the project
Build | Clean Project

If You See This...
In my recent builds, I kept seeing horrible fails (pages of exceptions) but within seconds the messages would clear, build succeeded and the app deployed. Since I could never explain it and the app worked, I never noticed that I had two Gradle plugins in my project. So I think the Gradle plugins fought each other; one crashed, the other lost its state and reported the error.
If you have time, the 1-hour video "A Gentle Introduction to Gradle" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFUEb7pLLXw) really helped me approach the Gradle build files, tasks, build decisions, etc.
Disclaimer
I'm learning this entire stack, on a foreign OS, after working a different career...all at the same time and under pressure. In the last few months I have hit every wall I think Android has; I've been here quite often and this is my first post. I thought this was a hard fix, so I sincerely apologize if the quality of my answer reflects the difficulty I had in getting to it.
Download system image(of targeted android level of your project) from sdk manager for the project you have imported.
This error comes when you do not have target sdk of your android project installed in sdk folder
for eg. Your imported project's target sdk level may be android-19 and on sdk folder->system-images you may have android-21 installed. so you have to download android-19 system image and other files from sdk manager or you can copy paste it if you have the system image.
Remove:
<facet type="android" name="Android">
<configuration />
</facet>
in your iml file. That works for me.

This happened to me recently when I close one Android Studio project and imported another Eclipse project. It seemed to be some bug in Android Studio where it preserves some gradle settings from previously open project and then get confused in the new project.
The solution was extremely simple: Close the project and shut down Android Studio completely, before re-opening it and then import/open the new project. Everything goes smoothly from then on.
Apparently this error has multiple causes. Here's what fixed it for me.
I was running the build command like this:
./gradlew :testapp: build
Running it without the space fixed the issue:
./gradlew :testapp:build
I got this error when switching from one Git branch to another, and then trying to run "Clean Project". I used ack to search for the Task name, and found it in a .iml file.
My solution was to regenerate the project's .iml file by clicking (in the main menu) Tools > Android > Sync Project with Gradle Files. (Thanks to this answer.)
In my case, setting the 'Gradle version' same as the 'Android Plugin version' under File->Project Structure->Project fixed the issue for me.
Simple fix for me was
Build > Clean project
Restart Android Studio
Yet another solution to the same problem:
This happened to me every time I imported an eclipse project into studio using the wizard (studio version 1.3.2).
What I found, quite by chance, was that quitting out of Android studio and then restarting studio again made the problem go away.
Frustrating, but hope this helps someone...
Sometimes, if you have opened two windows of Android Studio, and when you try to compile, this issue might happen. For me, when I was compiling a backed Google Cloud Endpoint module which was not embedded in a project, rather shared among different Android Studio projects, and when there is more than once instance open, this error use to spring up for me. But as soon as you close other windows, everything will be fine. Sometimes, you might have to restart Android Studio altogether.
I got this problem because it could not find the Android SDK path. I was missing a local.properties file with it or an ANDROID_HOME environment variable with it.
Make sure you have the latest values in your gradle files. As of this writing:
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'
}
Open Command Prompt
then go your project folder thru Command prompt
Type gradlew build and run
Apparently this issue caused by Android Studio on the various situation but the reason is build error When importing an existing project into android studio. In my case, I've imported my exist project where I was supposed to install few build tools then finally build configuration was done with error. In this case, just do the following things
Close the current project
File>New>Import Project (Don't use the open recent project)
Note:
I'm sure this kind of error is not on source code when this happened on Import project.
Problem
I specifically got the "[module_name]:prepareDebugUnitTestDependencies" task not found error, every time I ran gradle build. This happened to me after updating my Android Studio to 3.0.0.
Investigation
I had previously added command-line options to the gradle-based compiler, which you can find under: File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler -> Command-line Options. Specifically, I had excluded a number of tasks, including the aforementioned task. While that worked fine on the previous stable version (2.3 at that time), it seems like this was the reason behind the build failure.
Solution
This is one of many possible solutions.
Make sure you have the correct command-line options specified in the settings under: File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler -> Command-line Options, and that none of them is causing this problem.
In my case, I removed the exclusion of this task (and other tasks that seemed related), left the unrelated tasks excluded, and it worked!
I had the same problem and the "Tasks" tab doesn't appear to me on the Gradle settings, neither doing the commands gradlew signinReport or something.
I fix it doing the following steps:
1.- Add android: exported = "true" in my main activity of the AndroidManifest (because that Activity has an intent-filter)
2.- Update in Build.gradle (app) the compileSdkVersion to 31
3.- Update in the same place the targetSdkVersion also to 31.
4.- Click on "Sync now".
And that works for me.
Farewell!
For this you may simply just goto: SETTINGS > EXPERIMENTAL > Then uncheck the option:
"Do not build Gradle Task List during Gradle sync", Click on "Apply" > "Ok" and then click on the "Sync Project with Gradle files" option from the right side of the menu bar.
Your issue should be resolved.
Set the path of the root folder and after run the below command
ex : cd C:\Users\maha\Documents\gradle\gs-gradle-master\initial
This is what I did
Remove .idea folder
$ mv .idea .idea.bak
Import the project again
I remove/Rename .gradle folder in c:\users\Myuser\.gradle and restart Android Studio and worked for me
In my case, I meet this problem that compile options in Android Studio is "stacktrace." Modify stacktrace to --stacktrace, the problem solved.
I have solved this problem You just need to Create file in Android Folder
Go android folder
Create file local.properties
then just add this code in local.properties file:-
If you are using MacBook then sdk.dir=/Users/USERNAME/Library/android/sdk
if you are using Windows then sdk.dir=C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
if you are using Linux then sdk.dir = /home/USERNAME/Android/sdk
if you want to know what is your system USERNAME then just use command for Mac whoami
and then just rerun command react-native run-android
Thanks :)
Am on Mac so answer is as per like that.
Go to Android Studio(From Menu Bar) -> Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler . Then look for Command-Line Options , there make sure nothing typed in its Text Field. That should be empty. Then rebulid project and thats it.
