Answer 3

(Solution) I tried my first flutter app in android studio , i was getting same error " Could not initialize class org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerHelper"

open build.gradle and update dependencies

    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1'
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"

or just hover over com.android.tools.build:grandle:(your-version)

I face this issue when I was Building my Flutter Application. This error is due to the gradle version that you are using in your Android Project. Follow the below steps:

• Install jdk version 14.0.2 from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk14-downloads.html .

• If using Windows open C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14.0.2\bin , Copy the Path and now update the path ( Reffer to this article for updating the path : https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/ .

• Open the Project that you are working on [Your Project]\android\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties and now Replace the distributionUrl with the below line:

distributionUrl = https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-all.zip

Now Save the File (Ctrl + S), Go to the console and run the command

flutter run

It will take some time, but the issue that you were facing will be solved.

Answer 5

What was helpful for me (MacBook):

• first go to File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart -> Invalidate and Restart
• then check the value of JAVA_HOME enviroment variable, by calling echo $JAVA_HOME (it should be equal to "/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home")
• if it is not, change its value by calling export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home"

Answer 6

I faced this issue because of lower version of Jdk. Previously I installed Jdk 1.7 and Android Studio 1.5.1, I got this issue. If you install Android Studio 1.5.1 or above JDK 1.8 required

So Installing JDK 1.8 solved this issue.
