I\'m trying to build my android project using gradle and circleCI, but I\'ve got this error :

* What went wrong:
  A problem occurred configuring root projec         


        

Answer 1

Reading sembozdemir answer in this post I have resolved a similar problem adding jcenter() in build.gradle (module: cordovaLib)

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'
    }

}

Answer 2

On my side I got the same issue because I used the wrong order of repositories.

google() should be added before jcenter()

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }

Answer 3

Do you try it

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    }

}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url "https://jitpack.io"
        }
        flatDir {
            dirs 'libs'
        }

    }

}

and Build->Clear Project

Answer 4

Try this:

allprojects {
    buildscript {
        repositories {
            maven {
                url "https://dl.bintray.com/android/android-tools"
            }
        }
    }
...
}

Answer 5

Add jcenter in your project gradle file and sync

Answer 6

After the recent update to Android Studio 3.0 Canary 1, I got the following error:

> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'.
   > Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-alpha1.
     Searched in the following locations:
         https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.0.0-alpha1/gradle-3.0.0-alpha1.pom
         https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.0.0-alpha1/gradle-3.0.0-alpha1.jar
     Required by:
         project :

Here is what I had to add (to the project-level build.gradle):

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com'
        }
        ....            
    }
