Android studio - Failed to complete gradle execution - error in opening zip file

Question

I\'m new to android development and android studio IDE.

I\'ve checked-out a project from bitbucket and when I try to compile it I get the following error:

Answer 1

Simply change distributionUrl to latest like this:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1-all.zip

It will download all necessary gradle files and your good to go.

Answer 2

I fixed this issue by...

• Going to Settings... > Gradle
• Selecting "Use local Gradle distribution."
• Pointed it to my Gradle zip file: home/kersting/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-1.12-all/6vpvhqu0efs1fqmqr2decq1v12/gradle-1.12

It should be something similar for you if you downloaded Gradle which you should have when you downloaded Android Studio. Be careful, the .gradle file may be hidden. I found it through the terminal, but "ls" didn't reveal it.

Answer 3

For me the solution to this error was to change the gradle wrapper version in ../gradle/wraper/gradle-wrapper.properties to a different/newer version.. I used:

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip

Then call:

./gradlew --refresh-dependencies

This tells the wrapper to point to a new version and re-download all required dependencies. I suspect the error for me was caused by an interrupted download when first building the relevant project.
