Android Studio: Failed to sync Gradle project 'Project Name'

Question

I'm an android developer. Now I switched to Android Studio. While importing Android Eclipse project to Android Studio it gives an error like Failed to sync Gradle project 'Project Name'. I tried a lot to solve this error, even I changed Gradle path too. But still an error remains.

Did you [try this ?](http://stackoverflow.com/a/21996772/2591002) Try *deleting gradle and .gradle folders from your project folder* — SweetWisher ツ, Jan 01 '15 at 10:33
in eclipse i set it to 11 but in android studio i unable to find. I'm importing project to android studio. — Sushant Jamdade, Jan 01 '15 at 10:41
Check [build.gradle (module:app)](http://i.gyazo.com/2b7b9c83a9bec2ab1812fcd43833b935.png) — SweetWisher ツ, Jan 01 '15 at 10:42
after importing it says:- 'Gradle project sync failed. Basic functionality (e.g editing, debugging) will not work properly ' — Sushant Jamdade, Jan 01 '15 at 10:43
Check [classpath in build.gradle of your project](http://stackoverflow.com/a/27517208/2591002) — SweetWisher ツ, Jan 01 '15 at 10:45

failed to find target android -20

It seems that you haven't installed API 20 in your SDK manager. First check it and download if it's missing.

Then try adding this line distributionUrl /gradle-2.2.1-all.zip to gradle-1.10-all.zip in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties like :

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.10-all.zip

Lastly, run Android Studio as Admin and clean the project :)

Hope it helps ツ

Go to Gradle Tasks (tab on left), or type commands in terminal:

Run Clean and Build from Gradle Tasks, or you type in terminal: "gradlew clean" and "gradlew build" (without "").

Then go to Messages (there's tab down), and look what errors are reported. Try to solve it, or ask for help here.

Edit: To add, very likely problem with dependecies when importing eclipse project.
