After updating to android studio 3.1.1 unresolved third party imports

I updated the android studio to 3.1.1 and android sdk as follows
androidMinSdkVersion = 16
androidTargetSdkVersion = 27
androidCompileSdkVersion = 27
androidBuildToolsVersion = "27.0.3"
androidSupportV7LibraryVersion = "27.1.1"
I am able to build and run apk on device but editor not able to recognize third party imports and shows red color for imports and for usage
event after invalidating cache issue is not yet solved
Gradle version is as follows with 4.4 distribution
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.1'
dependencies are already changed from from compile to implementation
This issue is not limited to one library having same issue to all the third party dependecies such as Volley , circularimageView etc
Update
I am getting this pop up when doing installdebug which says gradle 3.1.1

Typically, this error occurs when you have a compilation error elsewhere and your cleaned project can no longer be compiled. I suggest trying a gradle build from the command line, and editing your post to include the log output.
As of this post 3.1.1 Gradle Plugin doesn't exist in the documentation.
The plugin does not always match Android Studio versions.
To match the documentation, make your top level build.gradle match this
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0'
}
}
Also, Gradle version as of this post is 4.6

Updated to Android Studio 3.0. Getting a "Kotlin not configured" error

I just updated to Android Studio 3.0 and I'm getting this error with an existing project:
Kotlin not configured
When I go to Tools>Kotlin>Configure Kotlin in Project, I get an error saying "no configurators available". Also get the error below with the red java:
I've also tried:
Restarting
Clean and Rebuild
Invalidate caches/restart.

I first tried with invalidate cache/ restart option but it doesn't help me.
When I updated Kotlin to 1.1.60 in project's gradle file, problem is solved.
Also, use this in app's gradle for stdlib
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.1.60"
instead of
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jre7:1.1.60"

In Android Studio, click on File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart... , then select "Invalidated and Restart". This solved my problem.

This error also occurs if you have the mavenCentral() repository missing in allprojects.
Your build.gradle (:app) should contain at least this:
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
}
}
jcenter() would work as well (for now), but that repository reached end-of-life and shouldn't be used any more.

Closing and restarting Android Studio works for me in that case. Important is that there are no other projects opened in Android Studio before you close it. I suspect that closing Android Studio with multiple opened project windows sometimes messes up the configuration especially after plugin upgrades etc.

Important Update
You should check JDK version before setting config
Kotlin gradle config page has detailed information about this.
Step 1
Check kotlin version in project level gradle file.
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
For kotlin_version '1.2.x' Use jdk NOT jre
Step 2
Check JDK version in File > Project Structure
Or check in build.gradle
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
If no JDK version is set in Project Structure, then choose by Android Studio version
JDK version is 1.7 for Android Studio Version < 2.2.1
JDK version is 1.8 for Android Studio Version < 2.2.1
Because Android Studio is bundled with jdk 1.8 since 2.2.1 version.
You have 3 options of kotlin stdlib, choose according JDK version
implementation"org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:$kotlin_version" //jdk_version == 1.8
implementation"org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version" //jdk_version == 1.7
implementation"org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version" // jdk_version is < 1.7
if kotlin version is'1.1.x' Use jre NOT jdk
implementation"org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jre7:$kotlin_version" // or jre8
Update Kotlin Version?
You can update Kotlin version from Tools > Kotlin > Configure Kotlin Updates

Kotlin-stdlib-jre7 is deprecated since 1.2.0 and should be replaced with kotlin-stdlib-jdk7
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"

I have faced this issue recently... when I updated to Android Studio 3.1 .
I did a few things to fix this.
First I updated the Kotlin version in my app gradle file and added
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.2.31"
in my app gradle file. But this alone didn't fix it.
Then uninstalled the kotlin plugin from settings, restarted Android Studio and installed it again.
EDIT :
This is my project gradle file
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.31'
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.1'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.0'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.2.31"
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
google()
}
}
And this is my app gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
android {
compileSdkVersion 27
buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'
defaultConfig {
...
}
buildTypes {
...
}
sourceSets {
main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/kotlin'
}
kapt { generateStubs = true }
}
repositories {
...
}
dependencies {
...
...
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.2.31"
...
...
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

just delete .idea folder from project,and run android studio again, it will resolve KOTLIN NOT CONFIGURED issue.

A common reason of the "Kotlin Not Configured" message is an internal Android Studio exception due to a bad plugin.
In order to fix that you should disable the bad plugin.
When such plugin crash occurs, on the "Wellcome screen" you'll see a small notification (see illustration image) where you can click it and disable the bad plugin:

None of the other solutions solved my problem. I ended up figuring out that the problem lied in the google services version. Just update it to the latest.
Top level gradle at dependencies:
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0'

In my case, after the update of Android Studio and plugins, I could create new projects, but my old projects were having "Gradle Sync Issues".
The solution was in File/Project Structure.../App/Dependencies:
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
And then I just updated the Kotlin version in my project build.gradle:
From:
ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.30'
To:
ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.21'
Then I tried Sync again.
Obs: You can check your Kotlin version in Tools/Kotlin/Configure Kotlin Plugin Updates

I have tried all above solutions but non of them works for me.
Then finally I got success with below solution, so it may helpful for some one like me.
Delele all .iml files (in root project, libraries and modules)
Rebuild project

In my case I had to update Android studio from version 3.4.1. to 3.5 and it resolved the kotlin not configured error.

Delete .AndroidStudio3.6 folder in C:\Users\Username and re-open Android studio works for me

The only fix for me was adding
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
in build.gradle (:app)

One other point to check is version of your Gradle in gradle-wrapper.properties, if you use one.
Make sure that
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip
Has version 4.1 or higher.
You may also have the following in your build.gradle:
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = '4.1'
distributionUrl = "https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-$gradleVersion-all.zip"
}
Where Gradle version is lower that 4.1

Though I see that the question already has answers that work, one might also try the following solution.
Right click on the file name (Main.kt) -> Run 'Main.kt'.
This will download a gradle file from the gradle.org website.
Wait for it to unzip. The errors were cleared.

In my case, it was a broken update of one of the plugins I've used. Check your error logs from Android Studio this will lead you to what is the problem.

Simply Create a new Activity and select its language to kotlin Android studio Automatically configured kotlin for you.

Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugAidl': aidl is missing

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!

Android Studio Gradle BuildTools Revision

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()
}
}

how to tune actionbarsherlock for android studio [duplicate]

I need help installing/implementing ActionBarSherlock 4.4.0 into Android Studio 0.2.3. I have tried multiple tutorials and looked through answers on here. But none have worked for this beginner.
Has anyone tried to install ABS 4.4.0 into Android Studio yet? Can anyone give me detailed step by step instructions on how to do this? Or point me to an answer or tutorial that will help?

I successfully added it as aar dependency, no need to download and compile any sources.
Open Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager and install latest platform and build tools 18.0.1.
Create new project with Android Studio for Android 2.1 (API level 7) and replace build.gradle of subproject (not the top one) with the one below.
Complete minimal build.gradle, it needs Android Build Tools version 18:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 18
buildToolsVersion "18.0.1"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 7
targetSdkVersion 18
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.actionbarsherlock:actionbarsherlock:4.4.0#aar'
}

If you are already using Android Studio, you might do it the GUI way.
This also allows you to search the Maven repo, so if you don't know the full name of the
library no worries.
Press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+S
Select the module
Click Dependencies
Click the green arrow
Input sherlock and press enter to search
Select com.actionbarsherlock:actionbarsherlock:4.4.0#aar
This will automatically add it to your build.gradle
