Question

Android Studio 3.6

build.gradle:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    ext.AA_VERSION = '4.4.0'
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.21'
    ext.BUTTER_KNIFE_VERSION = '8.8.1'
    ext.GLIDE_VERSION = '4.2.0'

    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {

        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

in app/build.gradle

  buildscript {
        repositories {
            maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
        }
    }

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
    apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
    apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
    }

    def keystoreProperties = new Properties()
    keystoreProperties.load(new FileInputStream(rootProject.file("app/keystore.properties")))

    android {
        dataBinding {
            enabled = true
        }
        // Configure only for each module that uses Java 8
        // language features (either in its source code or

        androidTestImplementation 'com.squareup.okhttp:mockwebserver:2.7.0'
    }

But I get error when start from Android Studio:

Caused by: org.gradle.api.internal.plugins.PluginApplicationException: Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.android.application']

But when start from console like this:

gradlew build

I get another error:

 Build file 'D:\dev\mobile\TAgent\app\build.gradle' line: 7

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.android.internal.version-check']
   > Cannot parse project property android.enableD8='true ' of type 'class java.lang.String' as boolean. Expected 'true' or 'false'.

In this line:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

Camembert

you should fix the formatting on your applicationId "com.myproject " – Urethroscope

Not help. Same error – Camembert

i know, was just saying :) are you making a module or is this an application ? – Urethroscope

Have you check that android.enableD8='true ' is using boolean like android.enableD8=true? – Boyle

@ישואוהבאותך Yes this help. After remove "android.enableD8=true" from gradle.properties the project success build and run – Camembert

Answer 1

org.gradle.api.internal.plugins.PluginApplicationException: You usually get this because the plugin version you are trying to use and the required Gradle version do not match.

Check out the link below to find a list that will guide you, it surely solved my problem https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin

Once you have the Gradle version, navigate to the gradle-wrapper.properties and edit the distributionUrl. Cheers

Answer 2

Gradle is a building tool, and android gradle plugin is a plugin. Their versions have some relationships:

https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin#updating-gradle

That problem will raise when plugin's version is too new and gradle's version is too old.

One solution: Open the root build.gradle file, and change the android gradle plugin's version like this:

buildscript {
    ...
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.2'
        ...
    }
}

If that not work, make that version more smaller until some version works.

Answer 3

go to File > Project Structure > Project (Fichier > Structure of project > Project) in Android Studio, and choose the right version
