ERROR: Minimum supported Gradle version is 5.6.4. Current version is 5.2.1

It builds ok but when I try to run it I get the following errors:
Caused by: org.gradle.api.internal.plugins.PluginApplicationException: Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.android.internal.version-check']

Under project structure, I have configured the gradle version to 5.6.4.
I have tried updating the tool, invalidating the cache, and uninstalling and reinstalling the tool. Nothing seems to be fixing this.

I'm not familiar with Android Studio, but with Gradle in general you should be able to run something like this
gradlew.bat wrapper --gradle-version 5.6.2
gradlew.bat --version
I believe that should accomplish the same thing as manually editing gradle-wrapper.properties plus it will upgrade gradle. (If you just edit the properties file that, in and of itself, does not upgrade gradle; but the next time the wrapper it used it should automatically update itself.)

I ended up resolving the issue by downloading the complete version of 5.6.4 directly from the website: https://gradle.org/releases/. I then copied the folder into the android program files directory and linked the tool to it by doing:
File
-Settings
-Build, Excecution, Deployment
-Gradle
Under "use gradle from" I selected specified location and pointed to the file I downloaded.
Thanks to all for you help!

Android Studio - Gradle sync project failed

In Android Studio, I simply created a new project, and it says that:
Gradle project sync failed. Basic functionality will not work properly.
I have searched the web and tried everything, but nothing worked. I have v0.4.6 of Android Studio using Gradle 1.11.
The Error Message Is:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* Where:
Build file 'C:\Users\Vinnie\AndroidStudioProjects\MyFirstAppProject\MyFirstApp\build.gradle' line: 9
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':MyFirstApp'.
> Gradle version 1.10 is required. Current version is 1.11. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in C:\Users\Vinnie\AndroidStudioProjects\MyFirstAppProject\MyFirstApp\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-1.10-all.zip

The Android plugin 0.8.x doesn't support Gradle 1.11, you need to use 1.10.
You can read the proper error message in the "Gradle Console" tab.
EDIT
You need to change gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file in this way:
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.10-all.zip

In my case NDK location was the issue.
go to File->Project Structure->SDK Location and add NDK location

This may be helpful for some.
My problem exactly is incomplete gradle-1.12-all file download.
Below is screen shot of the Error
I re-downloaded the file from the gradle site here and extracted it in path/to/the/gradle, in my case was in C:\Users\maneeOsman\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-1.12-all\2apkk7d25miauqf1pdjp1bm0uo
I closed the android studio and reopen it in administrator privilege (Run as administrator).
The android studio starts downloading the necessary files for building and debugging. You can notice that from bottom-left indicator bar.
After this, it is working fine.
See the screen shot below

Here is the solution I found: On the project tree "app", right click mouse button to get the context menu. Select "open module setting", on the tree "app" - "properties" tab, select the existing "build tools version" you have. The gradle will start to build.

I have encountered this problem And I solved it as follows: File->Sync Project with Gradle Files
good luck!

After applying this fix that was found here... https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=208295
in file $SDK/ndk_bundle/source.properties replace "12.0.2753695 beta 1" to "12.0.2753695-beta1"
My project was built successfully and ran on device and emulators although 5 warnings still remains.

Remove the dependency "junit:junit:4.12" from app modules...!!! This solution is for gradle to sync all files.

it was hard to solve but i did it
look go to
C:\Users\Vinnie\
delete .gradle file
its you didn't see it it may be in hidden files so if you use windows 7
right click then click on properties and click on hidden to be not checked
then the file will appear then delete it
i hope this works

I know this is an old thread but I ended up here with the same issue.
I solved it by comparing the dependencies classpath in the build.gradle script(Project) to the installed version.
The error message was pointing to the following folder
C:\Program Files\Android\android-studio3 preview\gradle\m2repository\com\android\tools\build\gradle
It turned out that the alpha2 version was installed but the classpath was still pointing to alpaha1. A simple change to the classpath ('com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-alpha2') was all that was needed.
This may not help everyone, but I do hope it help most people out.

I was behind firewall|proxy.
In my case with Studio, ERROR: Gradle sync failed & Cannot find symbol.
I have used
repositories {
jcenter(); // Points to HTTPS://jcenter.bintray.com
}
Replace it with http and maven
repositories {
maven { url "http://jcenter.bintray.com" }
}

i had same issue i solved by changing gradle plugin version and and gradle version
see image for more refrence

Use this line to your Build gradle app
repositories {
maven { url "http://jcenter.bintray.com" }}

Using an outdated gradle version may also result to fail in synchronization.
Download latest version from https://gradle.org/releases/ and download the "complete" latest version.
Now replace it with the outdated version which is located C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle.
Go to settings(ctrl+alt+s) ,go to gradle and add the the new gradle directory in "use local gradle distribution" "Gradle home:C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\gradle4.4.1 ."
It Worked for me.
Hope u understand.

Update for 2018:
I have faced this issue recently and it was resolved by updating android studio & updating gradle when prompted then rebuilding the project

I had a "Install build tools and sync" link in the lower right hand corner of my screen. I clicked on that and it fixed the issue.

Each version of the Android Gradle Plugin now has a default version of the build tools. For the best performance, you should use the latest possible version of both Gradle and the plugin.
You recive this warning in case if you use latest gradle plugin but not use latest SDK version. For example for Gradle plugin 3.2.0 (September 2018) you requires Gradle 4.6 or higher and SDK Build Tools 28.0.3 or higher.
Although you typically don't need to specify the build tools version, when using Android Gradle plugin 3.2.0 with renderscriptSupportModeEnabled set to true, you need to include the following in each module's build.gradle file: android.buildToolsVersion "28.0.3"
see more https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin

Update gradle to the latest available version and implement libraries to the latest version available, also check if google play services is latest if used.

Gradle version 1.8 is required. Current version is 1.9-rc-3 - Android Studio

Gradle updates and error now, I can't import my project.
Error log:
Could not execute build using Gradle distribution 'http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.9-rc-3-bin.zip'.

Gradle version 1.8 is required. Current version is 1.9-rc-3. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in /home/luiz/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-1.8-all.zip
How solve this?

I had this issue with android studio 0.4.2, I changed the android tools in build.gradle from 0.6+ to 0.7+
original line in build.gradle:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.+'
Changed to:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.7.+'
Then I just ran Tools->Android->Sync Project with Gradle Files and everything worked.

Gradle 1.9 is not yet supported by the build tools.
Consider using Gradle Wrapper which will download it's own version of gradle that your project is built from.
See (http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html)
Add the wrapper task and set it to 1.8
then run gradle wrapper
You might have to re-import your project to AS and when you do, tell it to use the wrapper.
Hope that helps.

I had this problem using Ubuntu (Linux Mint) this week and I couldn't get the wrapper working. My final solution was to:
Download and unzip Gradle 1.8 from http://www.gradle.org/downloads
Remove the .gradle directory from your user directory (/home//.gradle) (I'm not sure if this is actually necessary)
Re-import the project to Android Studio, and in the import options, specify "local gradle distribution" - point to the newly installed/unzipped Gradle 1.8
And fingers crossed your error disappears.

You have to remove directory $USER_HOME.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-1.9-rc-3-bin using command. In Windows:
cd .gradle\wrapper\dists
rmdir /s gradle-1.9-rc-3-bin

getting error when importing project in android studio?

Recently i updated my android studio to 0 .30 I was trying to import project in android studion.
Project is using an old version of the Android Gradle plug-in. The minimum supported version is 0.6.1.

}
Step 2:
In the YourProject.iml file, delete the entire component name="FacetManager" tag.
Step 3
(Maybe not necessary): In the Android SDK manager, install (if not already installed) Android Support Repository under Extras.

I was able to fix this by using the file path to my gradle directory:
C:\Users\xxxx.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-1.12-all\2apkk7d25miauqf1pdjp1bm0uo\gradle-1.12
the import continued fine.

This is duplicate of Unable to import Eclipse project to Android Studio (when using default gradle wrapper)
Answer:
I had to edit the gradle wrapper settings in
gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties and change gradle version
to 1.8.
./gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties :
#Wed Apr 10 15:27:10 PDT 2013
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.8-bin.zip
I had to change gradle-1.6-bin.zip to gradle-1.8-bin.zip. I guess
the old ADT plugin from eclipse which generates this file still uses
the old URL.

If all the other solutions here do not work (they are all from 3 days ago)... I found...
I had secondary project in my settings.gradle and each of those projects had their own build.gradle. The Android Studio IDE says that you need to uddate to 0.6.1 but it points to only the first-project build.gradle - I had to manually locate the secondary build.gradle file for those projects and make sure all said 0.6.+ instead of previous versions.

Change gradle to 0.6.+ as ling has suggested, and also in your gradle-wrapper.properties file, change the distributionUrl to http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.8-bin.zip.

Gradle version 1.8 is required. Current version is 1.6

There is a new Android Studio update: https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/tools/recent/androidstudio030released
The link says:
The improved performance is made possible by changes in Gradle 1.8 and
Android Gradle plugin version 0.6.+
So I changed my dependencies like this:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.+'
}
But I don't know where I can change the Gradle 1.6 to 1.8 ...
And when I compile the app I've got this error:
Gradle: A problem occurred evaluating project.
Gradle version 1.8 is required. Current version is 1.6
Where can I change the version ?
Thanks in advance :)

I am not sure if this will help you but here is what fixed it for me:
Open up this file in your project:
<Project>/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
Edit the distributionUrl line and set it too:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.8-all.zip
Rebuild your project.
Update: You might want to use gradle-2.8-all.zip now.

I had same problem. Try to remove directory 'gradle' in project directory and then rebuild project. It helped me.

The Android Studio ask you for download and install the Gradle version 1.8 for you.
Also the Android Gradle plugin version 0.6.2 has an issue and not works properly.
As said on the official page use the version 0.6.3:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.3'
}
More info:
http://tools.android.com/knownissues

You should use the following in your build.gradle:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.7.+'
}
}
Edit:
Nowadays 0.9.+ is the most up-to-date gradle plugin.

The Android Gradle 0.6.2 plugin that was published on Maven Central. Edit your build.gradle file and instead of depending on "0.6.+", depend on "0.6.1".

All other solutions are incomplete and non-working. Here's a step-by-step that worked for me.
I updated the gradle plugin in build.gradle to 0.7.+
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.7.+'
}
But when using the gradle plugin 0.7.+, Android Studio needs Gradle 1.8. So, you have to update Gradle from 1.7 to 1.8.
This was done by going to
Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files
It forces Android Studio to give out Error message you see on http://tools.android.com/recent
In the error message you have to click the part "Fix Gradle wrapper and re-import project". I restarted, not sure if this make a difference.
So far everything seems to work. I can create new projects and it build fast, without errors, but the gradle has still 0.5+.
Looks like, I had to change it manually for every new projects. This is what I thought, because I didn't get any error or information from this installation to fix it. (Mac).
Than I went to my Windows installation, which had still Android Studio version 0.2.13 and
tried the same procedure, I used with the updated version, changed the build,gradle and used Synch Project with Gradle Files. This gave me a total different information:
Gradle version 1.8 is required. Current version is 1.7. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Start Menu\Programs\Android Studio\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-1.8-all.zip
Turned out, I have a gradle-wrapper.properties file in every project (in gradle/) but I don't have any gradle-wrapper.properties file at the location Android Studio gave me.
When you open the gradle-wrapper.properties file from your project, it will properly look like this:
#Sun Oct 20 03:35:31 CEST 2013
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.7-bin.zip
To change the gradle-1.7-bin.zip into gradle-1.8-rc-1-bin is possible but not the solution I was looking for.
Check out if Andoid Studio already downloaded the gradle plugin 1.8
Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\Owner.gradle\wrapper\dists
2013-10-13 06:24 <DIR> .
2013-10-13 06:24 <DIR> ..
2013-10-04 18:17 <DIR> gradle-1.6-bin
2013-10-13 06:24 <DIR> gradle-1.7-all

0 File(s) 0 bytes
6 Dir(s) 81 945 972 736 bytes free
Now I create a new gradle-wrapper.properties file in
*C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Start Menu\Programs\Android Studio\gradle\wrapper*
#Tue Oct 20 06:35:40 CEST 2013
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.8-all.zip
This did the Trick. Now, after updating to 0.3, every new project gets a build.gradle with
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.7.+'
}
and a gradle-wrapper.properties file in gradle/ with
distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.8-bin.zip
Credits

I took several steps including: downloaded the gradle-1.8-all.zip file and placed it in a new directory off of my user home directory (Windows-7) and named the directory "gradle-1.8". For good measure, I also unzipped the download in this new directory. I also added a user environmental variable "GRADLE_HOME" with a pathway to this new directory.
I manually edited the "build.gradle" file in the project's top-level directory and entered:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.3'
}
When Android Studio opened the existing project and I did a build or tried to run it, I got the subject error. The final solution, as mentioned by others, was a several step process:
I removed both the "gradle" and the ".gradle" directories.
I rebuilt the project which recreated the ".gradle" directory but not the "gradle" directory. Then, I closed the project and used "File/Import Project" to load the project again. And, I used the "Use customizable gradle wrapper" as suggested.
This worked. The "gradle" directory was created again in the project's top-level directory. The project builds clean and runs. It would be nice to have step-by-step upgrade instructions for these updates.

Old question but just in case someone runs into the same issue I had with upgrading.
If you have setup gradle for offline mode, it doesn't update the wrapper properly. Turning off offline mode (Preferences->Gradle->Offline work) then clean/rebuild pulled in the new gradle version. This assumes that gradle-wrapper.properties file has been updated.

Just updated android studio :p
Help -> Check for Update...

This is a late response, but in case anybody's run into a problem of the gradle version in their ionic project being overwritten by an older one by AS, just remove the android platform from your ionic project and then re-add it. Evidently, installing Gradle is part of that command, so you'll overwrite the overwrite, and get the version you need to run ionic build android from within your Ionic project's root directory.
Although, WARNING: Removing the Android platform, and then re-installing it, might wipe the splashscreens and icons that you'd had in your resources folder. And by "might," I mean that it's happened every time that I've done it (which makes sense, since the resources folder is inside of the android folder that you're removing/re-intalling). Perhaps a more eloquent command line input could reinstall the android platform while leaving the resources folder alone, but, in any case, make sure to copy the directory with your custom splashscreens and icons to a new one before running the re-install.

You can download the latest Gradle file from This link
You can then add it to your File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Gradle path and the sync the project
