When I compiled my Android Studio IDE project, the emulator had opened, but project didn't run.I am using the latest version of Android IDE and I uninstalled Android IDE couple of times, and then again reinstalled it. Still, the problem persists.

Please help me fixing this problem.

When I run my Android Studio IDE project, I got this message at Build window: 

Could not find com.android.tools.build:aapt2:3.3.1-5013011.

I think you missed google repository on your gradle file. To use AAPT2, make sure that you have a google() dependency in your build.gradle file, as shown here:

buildscript {
    repositories {
    google() // here
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
   classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0-alpha12'

  }
} 
allprojects {
  repositories {
  google() // and here
  jcenter()
 }

  • Could you please be more specific ? I am new to this area. Where can I find build.gradle file ? I am still kind of confused. Thanks – Zunayeed Kamal Mar 07 '19 at 01:41

If you just had upgraded gradle build of your some old project, then you might try the following in your build.gradle file.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}

    I didn't upgrade. How can I upgrade the gradle of my android IDE ? – Zunayeed Kamal Mar 07 '19 at 01:42
  • If you have latest android studio, then it will ask you to upgrade gradle build through a pop-up, Further you can go through this post https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin – Irshad Babar Mar 07 '19 at 12:20
