Android gradle 3.0.0 - Unexpected end of ZLIB input stream

Question

After updating android studio to 3.0 and switching to gradle plugin 3.0.0 I am getting this error:

Gradle \'...\' project refresh failed
    Err         


        

Answer 1

It's solved in MAC

1. uninstall gradle brew uninstall gradle
2. brew install gradle
3. cd ~/[users].gradle/
4. rm -r *
5. synchronize android studio

Answer 2

I have also been experiencing this error with gradle 4.0.0 and 4.0.1. Unfortunately deleting the Users/<user>/.gradle folder didn't do the trick. I had to uninstall and re-install android studio along with deleting the Users/<user>/.gradle folder again

Answer 3

Pls. see this official tutorial on gradle migration to 3.0.

Had similar issue - the reason was that in manifest was written meta_data instead of meta-data. For older gradle it was just warning, for new - fatal error.

Maybe you have something similar.

Answer 4

For me worked to delete everything in:

C:\Users\userName\.gradle

Answer 5

I had the same problem after my studio upgraded from 2.3.3 to 3.0, of course I have upgraded my project gradle plugin version from 2.3.3 to 3.0.

I think the gradle plugin jar file is broken and not readable or any unknow exception happened, so delete it and re-download.

What I propose is to,

• Delete gradle folder in studio installed path (mine is D:\Tool\android-studio\gradle),
• Re-sync your project. The project will re-download its dependencies.

If the problem is not solved, try to delete your gradle user data (mine is C:\Users\tea\.gradle) and then re-sync project.
