I am using android studio 3.1.4.

Error:Could not find intellij-core.jar (com.android.tools.external.com-intellij:intellij-core:26.0.1). Searched in the following loc

Answer 1

If you're using classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1' or higher in your project/build.gradle, the solution is:

Add "google()" to your project/build.gradle file in 2 places:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com/'
            name 'Google'
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        ...
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com/'
            name 'Google'
        }
    }
}

Then you will see in the logs that intellij-core.jar is downloaded from different URLs:

• https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/tools/external/com-intellij/intellij-core/26.0.1/intellij-core-26.0.1.pom
• https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/tools/external/com-intellij/intellij-core/26.0.1/intellij-core-26.0.1.jar
