I am attempting to run my project in Android Studio but the error appears below:
I have followed many sources just to get this to run and have wound up here, but do not know what else to do.
How can I configure this project to run?

I went ahead and downloaded the project from the link you provided: http://javapapers.com/android/android-chat-bubble/
Since this is an old tutorial, you simply need to upgrade the software, gradle, the android build tools and plugin.
Make sure you have the latest Gradle and Android Studio:
https://www.gradle.org/
http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/version-compatibility
build.gradle:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.2'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
app/build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '23.0.3'
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 9
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName '1.0'
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.1'
}
Then run gradle:
gradle installDebug
In your top level build.gradle you seem to have the code
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "19.1"
}
You can't have this code at the top level build.gradle because the android build plugin isn't loaded just yet. You can define the compile version and build tools version in the app level build.gradle.
For some unknown reason, Android Studio incorrectly adds the android()
method in the top-level build.gradle file.
Just delete the method and it works for me.
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion '21.1.2'
}
I have tried to manage this issue via below steps :
Delete android { ... } block in top level root gradle file
Look into
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "22.0.0"
lines of code in app/gradle file here only one of the version persent in below dropdown should be present else it would give provide option to downloaad the same.
I got this same error when I was trying to import an Eclipse NDK project into Android Studio. It turns out, for NDK support in Android Studio, you need to use a new gradle and android plugin (and gradle version 2.5+ for that matter). This plugin, requires changes in the module's build.gradle file. Specifically the "android{...}" object should be inside "model{...}" object like this:
apply plugin: 'com.android.model.application'
model {
android {
....
}
}
So if you have updated your gradle configuration to use the new gradle plugin, and the new android plugin, but didn't change the module's build.gradle syntax, you could get "Gradle DSL method not found: 'android()'" error.
I prepared a patch file here that has some further explanations in the comments:
https://gist.github.com/shumoapp/91d815de6e01f5921d1f
These are the changes I had to do after importing the native-audio ndk project into Android Studio.
Correcting gradle settings is quite difficult. If you don't know much about Gradle it requires you to learn alot. Instead you can do the following:
1) Start a new project in a new folder. Choose the same settings with your project with gradle problem but keep it simple: Choose an empty main activity.
2) Delete all the files in ...\NewProjectName\app\src\main folder
3) Copy all the files in ...\ProjectWithGradleProblem\app\src\main folder to ...\NewProjectName\app\src\main folder.
4) If you are using the Test project (\ProjectWithGradleProblem\app\src\AndroidTest) you can do the same for that too.
this method works fine if your Gradle installation is healthy. If you just installed Android studio and did not modify it, the Gradle installation should be fine.
Actually i tried many combinations nothing worked
but when i modified my application gradle file with following
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
}
}
By removing the Line
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
it worked Normally :)) cheers
Another solution if you have installed android-studio-bundle-143.2915827-windows
and gradle2.14
You can verify in
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle if you have gradle-2.14.
Then you must go to
C:\Users\\AndroidStudioProjects\android_app\
And in this build.gradle you put this code:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.2'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
Then, go to C:\Users\Raul\AndroidStudioProjects\android_app\Desnutricion_infantil\app
And in this build.gradle you put:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '24.0.0'
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 19
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.3.0'
}
You must check your sdk version and the buildTools.
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '24.0.0'
Save all changes and restart AndroidStudio and all should be fine !
Just delete these lines from the root build.gradle
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion '19.1' }
Now trying and compile again. It should work.
Change to root build.gradle file
to
// 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:1.5.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
What worked for me was to import the project with "File -> New -> Project from Version Control" then choose your online source (GitHub for example). This way all the .gradle files were created in the import.
I also meet that problems,and just delete bottom code:
DELETE THESE LINES:
android {
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion '22.0.1'
}
it worked。
This error has occurred when i was importing a project from Github. This happens as the project was of older version. Just try to delete these methods below from your root gradle.
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "19.1"
}
then try again.
I hope it works.
This is my first attempt at Android Studio. I installed 0.8.0 and updated to 0.8.2. As soon as a project is created I get the error message:
Error:(1, 0) Plugin with id 'com.android.application' not found
C:\Users\Bob\AndroidStudioProjects\HelloAgain6\app\build.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {

defaultConfig {

minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 20
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}
and C:\Users\Bob\AndroidStudioProjects\HelloAgain6\build.gradle
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {

}
dependencies {

// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong

}
}
Updated Answer (Dec. 2, 2020)
Latest Gradle: 6.5
Version check:
./gradlew -v
How to update:
Set URL: ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=6.5 --distribution-type=all
Update: ./gradlew wrapper
Latest Android Gradle Plugin: 4.1.0
If you add the following code snippet to the top of your build.gradle file. Gradle will update the build tools.
buildscript {
repositories {
google() // For Gradle 4.0+
maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' } // For Gradle < 4.0
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0'
}
}
Read more here: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/index.html and about version compatibility here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin.html#updating-gradle and https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/index.html.
Original Answer
I had this same error, you need to make sure your Gradle version is compatible with your Android Gradle Plugin.
The latest version of Gradle is 2.0 but you need to use 1.12 in order to use the Android Gradle Plugin.
This can happen if you miss adding the Top-level build file.
Just add build.gradle to top level.
It should look like this
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.xx.y'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
}
In my case, I download the project from GitHub and the Gradle file was missing. So I just create a new project with success build. Then copy-paste the Gradle missing file. And re-build the project is working for me.
Root-gradle file:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:x.x.x'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
Gradle-wrapper.properties file:
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-x.x-all.zip
In the project level build.gradle file, I have replaced this line
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.3'
with this one
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3'
After adding both of those lines, and syncing, everything became fine.
Hope this will help someone.
I am writing this not as a solution meant for many, but for some people who may commit a simple mistake like specifying the wrong url for importing projects from SVN. It is intended for those guys :)
This happened to me when I imported the project from SVN -> automatic prompt by Studio to open the project -> It asked for Gradle location -> D:\Software\Android\gradle-2.5 -> Then the error.
The same project in a different SVN branch works fine with the Gradle plugin and Gradle which I have configured in Studio. I tried changing Android Gradle plugin and Gradle to get it working on the erring branch without any success.
Finally, I figured out that it was my following mistake:
I tried importing a specific Application alone instead of importing the application along with dependent library projects.
The url which I used for import initially had the Application porject's name at the end. Once I removed it, and specified the parent directory which contained both application project and its dependent project, everything went smooth :)
I found the problem after one hour struggling with this error message:
I accidentally renamed the root build.gradle to filename in builde.gradle, so Android Studio didn't recognize it anymore.
Renaming it to build.gradle resolved the issue!
I still got the error
Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0.
Problem: jcenter() did not have the required libs
Solution: add google() as repo
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0"
}
}
I was using IntelliJ IDEA 13.1.5 and faced with the same problem after I changed versions of Picasso and Retrofit in dependencies in build.gradle file. I tried use many solutions, but without result.
Then I cloned my project from remote git (where I pushed it before changing versions of dependencies) and it worked! After that I just closed current project and imported old project from Gradle file to IntelliJ IDEA again and it worked too! So, I think it was strange bug in intersection of IDEA, Gradle and Android plugin. I hope this information can be useful for IDEA-users or anyone else.
Go to your grade file where you can see this:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
And change classpath to this:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
// classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle-experimental:0.7.0-alpha1'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
The other answers didn't work for me, I guess something wrong happens between ButterKnife and 3.0.0 alpha5.
However, I found that when I annotated any one sentence, either BUtterKnife or 3.0.0 alpha5, it works normally.
So, you should just avoid the duplication or conflict.
For future reference: For me, this issue was solely caused by the fact that I wasn't running Android Studio as administrator. I had the shortcut on Windows configured to always run as administrator, but after reinstalling Android Studio, the shortcut was replaced, and so it ran without administrator rights. This caused a lot of opaque errors, including the one in this question.
This issue happened when I accidently renamed the line
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
on file app/build.gradle to some other name. So, I fixed it by changing it to what it was.
[FOR FLUTTER] go to your build Gradle then check if you have three paths
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.2'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
}
I somehow removed the android tools classpath and was getting the error.
This just happened to me using Android Studio 1.3.2, however, since I had just created the project, I deleted it and created it again.
It seems that it had not been properly created by Android Studio the first time, not even the project folders where as expected.
If you run a the module task with android plugin 1.2.3 in module directory , the problem appears. Try this:
../gradlew -b ../build.gradle -c ../settings.gradle :module:xxx
Make sure your two build.gradle and settings.gradle files are in the correct directories as stated in https://developer.android.com/studio/build/index.html
Then open "as existing project" in Visual Studio
Gradle is very finicky about this.
I got this error message after making the following change in my top-level build.gradle to update to the latest version of gradle:
//classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.2' old
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3' //new
I foolishly made the change while I was connected behind a hostile workplace proxy. The proxy caused the .jar files for the new version of gradle to become corrupt. This can be verified by inspecting the jars to see if they are an unusual size or whether they can be unzipped.
In order to fix the mistake, I connected to my network at home (which is not behind a proxy) and did a refresh dependencies from the Terminal:
./gradlew --refresh-dependencies
This caused the newer version of gradle to be re-downloaded and the error no longer occurs.
Check the spelling, mine was 'com.android.aplication'
This may also happen when you have both settings.gradle and settings.gradle.kts files are present in project root directory (possibly with the same module included). You should only have one of these files.
i had similar problem and i did following things to resolve it.
i referred to https://developer.android.com/studio/build
and copy / pasted these following lines before apply plugin lines
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.0'
}
}
module app build.gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
model{
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
defaultConfig.with {
applicationId "com.iamsafe"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
}
buildTypes {
debug {
minifyEnabled = false
useProguard = true
proguardFiles.add(file('proguard-rules.txt'))
}
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.2'
compile files('libs/asmack-android-8-0.8.10.jar')
compile files('libs/commons-io-2.0.1.jar')
compile files('libs/httpclient-osgi-4.2.1-sources.jar')
compile files('libs/httpcore-4.3.2.jar')
compile files('libs/httpmime-4.1.2.jar')
}
project build.gradle
// 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:2.10'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
In this case of issues check below code
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:**1.5.0**'
}
and gradle-wrapper.properties inside your project directory check below disctributionUrl:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.9-all.zip
If these are not compatible with each other then you end up in this issue.
For com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5. you need a version at least 2.8 but if you switch to a higher version like com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0 then you need to update your gradle to 2.9 and above this can be done by changing distributionUrl in gradle-wrapper.properties to 2.9 or higher as below
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip
If you work on Windows , you must start Android Studio name by Administrator.
It solved my problem
Just make sure you put the http and https proxy correctly when you create the app
I'm trying to use RomainGuy's ViewServer (https://github.com/romainguy/ViewServer) with my Android Studio project using Gradle, and I can't get it to work.
My understanding is to add a folder in project root ('libraries'), drop the ViewServer directory into it (not the full ViewServer directory but the actual library viewserver folder within ViewServer, and reference it in settings.gradle
include ':VendorSearch'
include ':libraries:ViewServer'
and also in my build.gradle file
compile project(":libraries:ViewServer")
When I do this I get a message that says
Could not find any version that matches com.android.tools.build.gradle:0.5.+
I tried then manually updating build.gradle in ViewServer to use the latest build tools (0.7.+ at the time of posting), but I get the same error with the new gradle version.
Any help and general clarification of how to include non-jar third party libraries would be appreciated!
You probably need to add the repository. Change the gradle.build from:
buildscript {
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android-library'
android {
compileSdkVersion 18
buildToolsVersion '18.0.1'
}
to
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.7.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android-library'
android {
compileSdkVersion 18
buildToolsVersion '18.0.1'
}
I tried to add the support library v4 in a project with android studio, I read how to add the support library
Add support library to Android Studio project
but the tab dependencies not appear. I click on the (only) module of my project, but do not appear. I tried with a blank project nothing appear.
EDIT
Project structure dialog
project
EDIT 2
The build.grade file as generated by Android Studio
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 16
buildToolsVersion "19.0.1"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 7
targetSdkVersion 19
}
}
dependencies {
}
First I recommend you to upgrade the AS to 0.4.0, lot of bugs are fixed in this.
Then check for the dependencies in build.gradle of your MyApplication module for support library.
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.+'
}
If not added add the mentioned dependency.
After adding the line sync project with Gradle Files using the option available in toolbar.
Make sure you are not getting any error. If sync happens successfully check the Module again.
You should see screen like this, In my case support v7 also added, you can ignore that.
I am building a small library project along wit a sample project to illustrate the use. I can't manage to run the sample in Android Studio. I have created the project from scratch. I am experienced with Eclipse but it's my first try at Android Studio & Gradle.
The error given:
Gradle: Execution failed for task ':demo:dexDebug'.
Running C:\DevTools\Android\android-studio\sdk\build-tools\android-4.2.2\dx.bat
failed. See output
I have the following folder structure:
- demo
- build
- libs
- android-support-v4.jar
- src
- main
- java
- res
- build.gradle
- library
- build
- libs
- android-support-v4.jar
- src
- main
- java
- res
- build.gradle
- build.gradle
- settings.gradle
Build.gradle at project root:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
Settings.gradle at project root:
include ':library', ':demo'
Build.gradle for the library module:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android-library'
dependencies {
compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar')
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 17
buildToolsVersion "17.0.0"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 7
targetSdkVersion 16
}
}
Build.gradle for the sample module:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
dependencies {
compile project(':library')
compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar')
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 17
buildToolsVersion "17.0.0"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 7
targetSdkVersion 16
}
}
Specifying compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar') means that every library includes support v4. What you want to do is just specify that every library depends on it:
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:13.0.0'
}
This will allow gradle to detect all dependencies and include this only once.
Note: You have to first use the SDK Manager and download and install two Maven repositories: "Android Support Repository" and "Google Repository".
I found the problem:
I removed that line from the sample gradle file.
compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar')
However, I have no idea why this does not work (if I have 2 or 3 external libraries that all depend on the support library, how are we supposed to do, without touching their gradle files?
You should navigate to your libs folder in the IDE, right click on the jar and select to add the library to the project, it still needs to establish the dependency even though the jar appears to be there. Also look at your gradle built script to make sure the dependency appears there. If that still doesnt work just run a gradle clean on the project. Intellij documentation will give you more details on what clean does. see:
stackoverflow gradle build
This error could be encountered while migrating from Groovy to kotlin DSL as well and here are the steps to get rid of it:
If you are still in the process of migrating please complete the migration of gradle files first, use kts syntax and then sync gradle files.
Use this dependency inside your build.gradle(app level):
implementation("androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0")
Remove id("kotlin-android-extensions") from plugins block inside build.gradle.kts (app level).
That's it! 3rd Point solved the issue for me but trying all the points should definitely fix the issue.
In my Case replace this line
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.2"
