Gradle build failing after update to Android studio 2.3 Canary 3

Question

I\'ve recently updated the android studio version of my project from 2.3 Canary 2 to 2.3 Canary 3. Since then the gradle build is failing every time with this error:

Answer 1

If you're using the gradle wrapper, make sure that the distributionUrl in your gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties is correct and up to date. As of this writing, I use this:

 distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
 distributionPath=wrapper/dists
 zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
 zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
 distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip

Answer 2

I had the same problem, fixed with checking gradle home path. This cannary build is no more working with gradle-2.14.1

The below link shows, point gradle path to gradle 3.2 directory.

Answer 3

The problem is the last version of tools 2.3.0-alpha3. Try to use the 2.3.0-alpha2 in project build.gradle

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.0-alpha2'

Answer 4

You may face this problem with your previous Project, We will notice that when you create a new application the Gradle build will complete successfully. So just copy paste the grade setting from new project to the previous project.

Steps:

1) Replace Dependencies in build.gradle (project) by this code :

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.0'

2) Replace distributionUrl in Gradle-wrapper.properties by this code:

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip

3) Don't forget to use Gradle default wrapper in Project level setting.
