I am getting the below error: Error:A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.

Failed to notify project evaluation listener. com.android.build.gradle.tasks.factory.AndroidJavaCompile.setDependencyCacheDir(Ljava/io/File;)V

Can anyone please help?

Following is the Instant Run screenshot

Answer 1

The only thing that helped me was to use the system gradle instead of Android Studio's built-in:

SETTINGS -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Gradle

Select Use local gradle distribution. To find the path, you can do which gradle where the which program is supported. It might be /usr/bin/gradle.

See also Error:Could not initialize class com.android.sdklib.repositoryv2.AndroidSdkHandler for another possible cause.

Answer 2

I am facing same error before a week I solve by disabling the Instant Run

File → Settings → Build, Execution, Deployment → Instant Run and uncheck Enable Instant Run.

Hope it works.

Answer 3

I enabled "Offline-Work" under File -> Settings ->Build,Deploy, Exec -> Gradle And this finally resolved the issue for me.

Answer 4

Answer 5

you need check your gradle version. gradle -v

then you should know your gradle version and your gradle plugin version compatible.

Example:

gradle 4.6 is not compatible with gradle plugin 2.2.

so need update com.android.tools.build:gradle version to 2.3.3.

then you need check gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties distributionUrl gradle version

google Android Plugin for Gradle Release Notes

Answer 6

In my case I had to update all the Firebase libraries to the latest versions.
