  <component name="libraryTable">
  <library name="Gradle: com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout-1.1.3">
    <CLASSES>
      <root url="file://$USER_HOME$/.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/constraint-layout-1.1.3.aar/6e5d62e725623f0f1060b115dcb600fe/res" />

Thanks for response)

Answer 1

build.gradle files are written in Groovy, not XML, like you have there. I don't know how you ended up having that file as build.gradle, but the syntax is invalid, and that is what is causing the problem. Check https://developer.android.com/studio/build

Answer 2

单击顶部菜单中的“将项目与 Gradle 文件同步” - 这可能对您有所帮助

Answer 3

I am having the same problem. I am unable to sync my gradle cause it got replaced by some random lines. It would be great if someone could sent the syntax of the correct code.
