Android Studio 0.8.2 - Gradle project sync failed

Question

In hindsight I should not have enabled L build stuff.

I am new to programming and I created a new Android Studio project which is throwing the Gradle errror right aw

Answer 1

I too faced the same issue and after days of trouble I figured it out. Just check if Java is installed

• Open a Terminal window and type:

java -version

Any version above JDK 6 is OK

• In terminal type

open -a TextEdit ~/.bash_profile

• Copy and paste the following lines of into textedit

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)

export JDK_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)

• Save it, close editor and type the following to apply changes

source ~/.bash_profile

Now try gradle sync now, you must be able to complete sync

Answer 2

1. Uncheck "Offline work" in File>Settings>Gradle>Global Gradle Settings
2. Resync the project, for example by restarting the Android Studio.
3. Once synced, you can check the option again to work offline
4. Update java if Android L SDK installed

Answer 3

this happen with me when I try import wrong repository complie 'me.dm7.barcodescanner:zxing:1.7.2' , so any one face this problem may be that be the reason

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1'

} 

Answer 4

A complement to igor's anwswer: for me "Android Support Library" wasn't enough. You would probably like to add "Android Support Repository" also.

As he said:

don't forget Administrator rights ;)

Answer 5

1. Open Gradle Settings in File > Settings > Gradle
2. Select the Option 'Use local gradle distribution'
3. Enter the URL of your local gradle version here.

Answer 6

The most simple solution (at least for me) would be:

Go to SDK manager (with Administrator rights), scroll down till the end, download "Android Support Library".

And it works (don't forget Administrator rights).
