I found this warning after upgrading the latest android studio stable version

Error:Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:xxxxxxxDebugCompileClasspath'.

Failed to transform file 'commons-lang-2.4.jar' to match attributes {artifactType=android-classes} using transform JarTransform Transform output file xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/app/commons-lang-2.4.jar does not exist.

here is gradle and gradle wrapper versions :

gradle : classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'

and

gradle wrapper :

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/g‌​radle-4.1-all.zip

change dependency declaration

from

compile files('libs/commons-lang-2.4.jar')

to

implementation files('libs/commons-lang-2.4.jar')

  • @Kenji can you explain it better : I think it is another case – Nawrez Nov 09 '17 at 09:55
  • For me, the jar file was built from NDK sources. It was solved by a combination of adding 'implementation' in place of 'compile', but also making sure that the paths to the jar file were correct in all cases. – Ken Corey Dec 06 '17 at 07:23
  • My case does not have dependencies complie files, but classpath instead – tngotran Apr 03 '19 at 08:48

Change the classpath of Project Gradle to:

 classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0-alpha01'

OR

change distributionUrl of gradle-wrapper.properties to 

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

Hope it helps you

I had same problem , googled a lot but nothing worked. Following worked for me on Android 4.2.1

Go to File -> Manage IDE Settings -> Restore IDE Settings
