Answer 1

I have resolved this way.

Steps:

1. Open gradle-wrapper.properties file and change distributionUrl to https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip.
2. Open root level build.gradle and change classpath to com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2.
3. Sync your Android studio project.

Done.

Answer 2

classpath: com.android.tools.build:gradle:+

This will solve the problem by updating gradle to latest one.

However it is dangerous(will code in alpha stage) & will also give warnings.

Answer 3

As of April 5, 2016 this worked for me:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-rc3'

Answer 4

gradle version you need became

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-beta7'

Which requires you to use the gradle wrapper for 2.10 if you were still using previous version

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip

On android studio you can find your wrapper by changing to the project view and looking in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

Answer 5

I change my classpath from 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0-alpha4'

to classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0-alpha5'

and clicked "try_again" when the warning appears "unable to find cached classpath" you just click "sync", this worked like a breeze.

Answer 6

In new project change this part:

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha1'

with

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'.

If you're not experienced user, please stick with Android Studio's Updates Stable Channel. I suppose you got Android Studio from Canary Channel.

Note that:

The Canary Channel for Android Studio delivers the bleeding edge updates on a roughly weekly basis. While these builds do get tested, they are still subject to bugs, as we want people to see what's new as soon as possible.

You don't need to change dependencies of your older projects. They should run normally on the latest version.
