Answer 1

For me, I got this error while working on some Udacity projects. I fixed it by adding the following code to the top-level build.gradle file.

allprojects {
    String osName = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase()
    if (osName.contains("windows")) {
        buildDir = "C:/tmp/${rootProject.name}/${project.name}"
    }
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
}
