Gradle sync failing after i reinstalled android studio

Question

I want your help in fixing this gradle sync error in my project that I made before reinstalling android studio. So far I have tried changing sdk and jdk path in settings and project structure.

I am attaching some screenshots below in no order:-

Build gradle in case:-

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    flatDir {
        dirs 'libs'
    }
}
android {
    compileSdkVersion 29

    lintOptions {
        checkReleaseBuilds false
        abortOnError false
    }

    useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.mathon.fingers"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 29
        multiDexEnabled true
        versionCode 4
        versionName "1.0.4"

        testInstrumentationRunner 'androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner'
    }

Answer 1

You are using compileSdkVersion 29 but in the screenshot API Level 29 is not installed. So you can either install API level 29 or Just change "compileSdkVersion 29" to "compileSdkVersion 30".

Go to Android SDK, Select Android 10 (Q) and click Apply. This will fix your problem.
