Flutter is not running?

Question

I have some problems while running flutter in android studio

This is my error Launching lib\main.dart on Moto C Plus in debug mode... Initializing gradle... Resolving dependencies... Finished with error: Please review your Gradle project setup in the android/ folder. * Error running Gradle: Exit code 1 from: D:\FlutterPrograms\app\android\gradlew.bat app:properties: NDK is missing a "platforms" directory. If you are using NDK, verify the ndk.dir is set to a valid NDK directory. It is currently set to E:\Sdk\ndk-bundle. If you are not using NDK, unset the NDK variable from ANDROID_NDK_HOME or local.properties to remove this warning.

• Where: Build file 'D:\FlutterPrograms\app\android\app\build.gradle' line: 25

• What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.

This is my buid.gradle file

    buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url 'https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2'
        }
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}
rootProject.buildDir = '../build'
subprojects {
    project.buildDir = "${rootProject.buildDir}/${project.name}"
}
subprojects {
    project.evaluationDependsOn(':app')
}

    delete rootProject.buildDir

This is my gradle error

Answer 1

I found a solution! Go to your flutter folder. After you need to find flutter.gradle. On my PC: C:\src\flutter\packages\flutter_tools\gradle Open flutter.gradle with note or notepad and change buildscript from this:

 repositories {
   jcenter()
    maven {
        url 'https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2'
    }    
}

to this:

 repositories {
    maven {
        url 'https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2'
    } 
    jcenter()
}

Answer 2

Open the root flutter folder in your computer, and open the gradle folder in that root folder (For example C:\flutter\package\flutter_tool\gradle) and add 'google()' to the buildscript. It fixed the issue for me.

Flutter root folder:

Add 'google()' to the buildscript:

Answer 3

There were lots of similar issues raised the past days, that could be solved by adding the google() repository in first position in the repositories block of the build scripts. See detailed explanation in the following answers:

• couldn't locate lint-gradle-api-26.1.2.jar for flutter project
• Could not find play-services-basement.aar

• Could not find com.android.tools.build:aapt2:3.2.0
