Android Studio: Gradle Refresh Failed - Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0-alpha6

Question

I\'ve just pulled down an Android project from git, and Android Studio is giving me the following error whenever I attempt to open it;

Error:Could not find c         


        

Answer 1

As gradle is updating the previous version will be replaced with new version so we have to change the gradle version in code as it would be referring to previous version and will show error like this

Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'. Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3. Searched in the following locations: file:/home/ubuntu/.m2/repository/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.2.3/gradle-2.2.3.pom file:/home/ubuntu/.m2/repository/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.2.3/gradle-2.2.3.jar https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.2.3/gradle-2.2.3.pom https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.2.3/gradle-2.2.3.jar https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.2.3/gradle-2.2.3.pom https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.2.3/gradle-2.2.3.jar Required by: :: Open file

The solution to this is that we add the repository in the build.gradle file like

buildscript {
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    google()
    jcenter()
}

OR

GOTO the File Explorer and search

C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\m2repository\com\android\tools\build\gradle

and see the Gradle name with latest version like

Gradle 2.2.0
Gradle 3.2.1
Gradle 2.1.0

and select the latest version like 3.2.1 and paste it in the build.gradle file in dependencies section like

dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'}
