Error running android: Gradle project sync failed.

Question

Android Studio (1.2 RC0) keeps telling me Error running android: Gradle project sync failed. Please fix your project and try again. How can I find out what the problem is? Unfortunately the solutions from this SO thread did not help.

Answer 1

Goto File -> Invalidate caches / Restart Shutdown Android Studio Rename/remove .gradle folder in the user home directory Restart Android Studio (It will download gradle metadata and data) Gradle build succeed Rebuild project. Done

Answer 2

I ran into the same issue, but then did the following, and my issue was resolved:

• updated Gradle
• installed the latest version of Android studio (mine was out of date)

And that solved my problem.

Note: It also helped me to click on the event log, because it has more detailed info about errors. https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin#updating-plugin also has great info.

Answer 3

Its because the gradle is not synced because of many reasons.

Go to project folder and remove .gradle folder and start sync. It will work

Answer 4

Go to

file->settings->build,execution,deployment->gradle.

(and set gradle home path from your directory)

3. Click OK to start updating the SDK.

Thanks for asking that question :)
