Android Studio 0.8.2 - Gradle project sync failed

Question

In hindsight I should not have enabled L build stuff.

I am new to programming and I created a new Android Studio project which is throwing the Gradle errror right away.

Errors are:

yellow bar at the top - Gradle project sync failed. Basic functionality (e.g. editing, debugging) will not work properly. Try again Open Event Log Show Log in Finder

messages gradle sync - compileSdkVersion android-L requires compiling with JDK-7. open sdk settings, open file.

tried looking through google and other stack overflow comments but did not find much I could make sense of except for Android Studio - Gradle sync project failed

tried converting URL to 1.10 instead of 1.12 and syncing but that failed after syncing

I need help either getting L working or removing it so that a new studio project can compile to device without errors.

Answer 1

this happen with me when I try import wrong repository complie 'me.dm7.barcodescanner:zxing:1.7.2' , so any one face this problem may be that be the reason

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1'

} 

Answer 2

I too faced the same issue and after days of trouble I figured it out. Just check if Java is installed

• Open a Terminal window and type:

java -version

Any version above JDK 6 is OK

• In terminal type

open -a TextEdit ~/.bash_profile

• Copy and paste the following lines of into textedit

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)

export JDK_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)

• Save it, close editor and type the following to apply changes

source ~/.bash_profile

Now try gradle sync now, you must be able to complete sync

Answer 3

1. Uncheck "Offline work" in File>Settings>Gradle>Global Gradle Settings
2. Resync the project, for example by restarting the Android Studio.
3. Once synced, you can check the option again to work offline
4. Update java if Android L SDK installed

Answer 4

The most simple solution (at least for me) would be:

Go to SDK manager (with Administrator rights), scroll down till the end, download "Android Support Library".

And it works (don't forget Administrator rights).

I am using windows 7 works properly thanks igor

Answer 5

A complement to igor's anwswer: for me "Android Support Library" wasn't enough. You would probably like to add "Android Support Repository" also.

As he said:

don't forget Administrator rights ;)

Answer 6

For me Changing the JDK path worked. I changed it to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_71.jdk/Contents/Home

in File--> ProjecStructure-> JDK location.
