Gradle and Plugin Update gives Error In Android Studio

Question

I just Updated the Android Studio from 2.1 to 3.1. The older version of Gradle was working well but slow as it was not compatible with new version of Android Studio. I updated the Gradle(to 4.4) and Plugin(to 3.1) by using the following selected answer;

How to update gradle in android studio?

But now its giving the following error;

Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0. Searched in the following locations: https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.1.0/gradle-3.1.0.pom https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.1.0/gradle-3.1.0.jar
Required by:
project : Add Google Maven repository and sync project Open File

Edit: The code in build.gradle is as follow;

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {

    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'


        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

After some downloads its now giving following error while running Configure project:app ;

Answer 1

1. Try "File"->"Invalidate Caches / Restart ..."
2. Try to clean up your .gradle and .idea directory under your project root directory.

3. Try to add Google Maven repository and sync project

   buildscript { repositories { jcenter() google() maven { url "https://maven.google.com" } } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3' } } allprojects { repositories { google() jcenter() maven { url "https://maven.google.com" } } }

4. If you are using Android Gradle Plugin 3.1.3, you should be sure that your gradle wrapper version is 4.4. Under the root directory of your project, find gradle-wrapper.properties and modify it as below.

    distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME distributionPath=wrapper/dists zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME zipStorePath=wrapper/dists distributionUrl=https\\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip

Answer 2

My problem is solved in such a way:

• update everything pop up at the corner of android studio.
• make sure there is enough space in drive C because some times android studio doesn't gives recommendation for updates if there is less space in drive C even if you are connected to internet.

Answer 3

Is your project's gradle file similar to that?

buildscript {
repositories {
    jcenter()
    google()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'
}

}

Answer 4

None of these things helped me:

In case you are running a react-native setup as me then do the following

1. In the main project folder: rm -rf node_modules
2. cd android
3. ./gradlew clean
4. ./gradlew build

After a successful build opening Android Studio and running build's work correctly.
