Question

Following is the build.gradle code in Android Studio

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.sg.blahblah"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"

    lintOptions {
        checkReleaseBuilds true
        abortOnError false
        xmlReport true
        htmlReport true
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'

            lintOptions {
                disable 'MissingTranslation'
            }
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'

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?

I have met the similar problem.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> Failed to notify project evaluation listener.
   > org.gradle.api.tasks.compile.CompileOptions.setBootClasspath(Ljava/lang/String;)V

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 5.0.
Use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings.
See https://docs.gradle.org/5.0-milestone-1/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings

BUILD FAILED in 7s
Build step 'Invoke Gradle script' changed build result to FAILURE
Build step 'Invoke Gradle script' marked build as failure
Finished: FAILURE

The key is you need to get a way to solve this kind of problems,not to solve this problem.

According to the log above,the most important information is:

Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

Most of the building problems of Gradle will be solved because when you use the specific Gradle build command,you can get more detailed and useful information that are clear.

*clean project
./gradlew clean  

*build project
./gradlew build

*build for debug package
./gradlew assembleDebug or ./gradlew aD

*build for release package
./gradlew assembleRelease or ./gradlew aR

*build for release package and install
./gradlew installRelease or ./gradlew iR Release

*build for debug package and install
./gradlew installDebug or ./gradlew iD Debug

*uninstall release package
./gradlew uninstallRelease or ./gradlew uR

*uninstall debug package
./gradlew uninstallDebug or ./gradlew uD 

*all the above command + "--info" or "--debug" or "--scan" or "--stacktrace" can get more detail information.

And then I found the problem is related with the version of Gradle,when I have changed Gradle from 5.0 to 4.1,and then it's OK.

SETTINGS -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Gradle -> unselect Offline work Then sync project, you are good to go. If not working , then File > Invalidate caches / Restart - > Invalidate and Restart.

Answer 3

I got this problem too. I fix it by Change build.gradle in project

Change

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'
}

And also I change the distributionUrl in gradle-wrapper.properties(Global Version)

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.0-milestone-1-all.zip

And got succeed.FYI.

Answer 4

In my case I solved this error only by Invalidating caches.

File > Invalidate caches / Restart

Answer 5

I had this issue because I was using Charles proxy on my computer and the SSL was enabled for all hosts. And since AS didn't trust my proxy, the network request failed. So I had to disable SSL for all hosts and restart my Android Studio.

Answer 6

With the new google support gradle plugin (com.google.gms.google-services) this can be caused by some dependency version problems with your com.google.android.gms.* modules.

You can probably see the root cause by running the build command with the --stacktrace parameter. i.e.:

./gradlew :app:dependencies --stacktrace

which might output the cause of the problem:

Caused by: org.gradle.api.GradleException: The library com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement-base is being requested by various other libraries at [[15.0.2,15.0.2], [16.0.0,16.0.0]], but resolves to 16.0.0. Disable the plugin and check your dependencies tree using ./gradlew :app:dependencies. at com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin$1$_afterResolve_closure1.doCall(GoogleServicesPlugin.groovy:328) at org.gradle.api.internal.ClosureBackedAction.execute(ClosureBackedAction.java:71)
