I try to change minSdkVersion
in build.gradle
(Module: app) in Android Studio
and get next error:
Error:Timeout waiting to lock buildscript class cache for build file 'E:\pathtoproject\app\build.gradle' (C:\Users\Administrator\.gradle\caches\2.2.1\scripts\build_f00bwdji3qxl7urq5chsbakgv\ProjectScript\buildscript). It is currently in use by another Gradle instance.
Owner PID: unknown
Our PID: 4592
Owner Operation: unknown
Our operation: Initialize cache
Lock file: C:\Users\Administrator\.gradle\caches\2.2.1\scripts\build_f00bwdji3qxl7urq5chsbakgv\ProjectScript\buildscript\cache.properties.lock
What is it error? How to change minSdkVersion
?
This sounds like it's related to https://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-2795.
The easiest way to solve this will be to delete everything under C:\Users\Administrator\.gradle\caches
. There is a cache.properties.lock
that is holding a global lock which is preventing you from running your script.
For Mac OSX the folder is located in ~/.gradle/caches
. The Android Studio should show the proper path to the file which is causing the lock anyway.
File > Invalidate cache / restart
works for me!!!
Close android studio and delete anything in cache
Your build.gradle file likely contains multiple statements of
minSdkVersion
. Possibly in defaultConfig{}
block and productFlavors{}
block. Make sure you are only declaring minSdkVersion once in the build file.
1.Check whether multiple instance of java.exe running then find out why they are running in my case i have opened command prompt it need java instance.
open task manager and end task of cmd.exe
If you don't want it to further happen remove path from environment variables and use embedded android studio JDK.
2.Delete lock file in /.gradle/cache
goto task manager and close all instance of java.exe
In android studio click on file invalidate caches/restart
Sometimes it was notable to delete filehash.lock file and it will throw an error unable to delete file. So do the following steps
For Windows machine:
Open Task Manager(Ctrl-Alt-Delete and check Process)
-> If you run two instance of android studio, Close One (End Task)
-> Then close OpenJDK Platform Binary
-> Gradle sync now on AndroidStudio and it will work now
What worked for me:
projectPath=[yourProjectPath]
find $projectPath/.gradle -name '*.lock' -delete
You can also remove them one by one:
gradleVersion=[yourProjectGradleVersion]
projectPath=[yourProjectPath]
rm -f $projectPath/.gradle/$gradleVersion/taskHistory/taskHistory.lock $projectPath/.gradle/$gradleVersion/fileHashes/fileHashes.lock $projectPath/.gradle/$gradleVersion/fileContent/fileContent.lock $projectPath/.gradle/$gradleVersion/javaCompile/javaCompile.lock $projectPath/.gradle/buildOutputCleanup/buildOutputCleanup.lock
