  • For android studio 3.0.1 using gradle-4.1-all.zip `distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip` change it to `distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip` just remove the backSlash after http.

Try this:

1) File -> Invalidate caches / Restart

2) Shutdown Android Studio

3) Remove .gradle folder in the user home directory

4) Restart Android Studio let it download all the Gradle stuff it needs

5) Gradle build success !

6) Rebuild project.... success !

    thanks, this solved the problem for me. it is kind of annoying that android studio does not work out of the box. – LZH Apr 01 '15 at 08:46

    This should be the accepted answer. @user3430710, could you accept or say why it was not accepted? – Chris Jun 30 '15 at 13:57
  • Thanks, removed the ~/.gradle folder solved the issue for me. – Joseph Jun 30 '15 at 14:09
  • can you explain a bit more why this happens? in my .gradle I had sever versions (2.2.1-all, 2.4-all, 2.4-bin, 2.8-all). Thanks – Ewoks Jan 19 '16 at 13:42
  • I was working on OSX and your answer helped. Quick reminder, make sure you are properly connected to the internet :) – zizutg Mar 12 '18 at 00:26
  • This worked like a charm. I tried so many different things. This also works only when done in exact order as mentioned. Thanks @Griffin – Vaibhav Gupta Oct 06 '20 at 17:02

We have two famous way for this problem:

1- update the gradle:

step 1:

Get latest version supported by Android Studio from:

https://services.gradle.org/distributions

step 2:

Extract the gradle file and install to dists folder(gradle folder): default location is: C:\Users[username]\gradle\wrapper\dists

step 3:

Open Android Studio: File/Settings/Gradle/Service directory path: (Change to folder you set above) and Click ok.

Status on bottom should indicate it's busy & error should be fixed.

step 4:

restart Android Studio

2- Delete the .gradle folder:

default location is:

C:\Users[username]\gradle\wrapper\dists

after that open Android Studio and make a new project (might need to reastart).
