I have just installed Android Studio 3.5 on Windows and then created a new project the above exception occurred. I have searched on Google regarding the above error but none resolved.

Below are the links that I have tried but none worked

Is this an issue with Antivirus which is installed on the local machine? Or I am just guessing its because of the Antivirus?

I have been trying this for 3 days. Please help me with this.Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same problem and eventually I figured out that running Android Studio as administrator solves it. You can at least give it a try!

How do I run Android Studio as an administrator on Mac? – Isosceles 23/7, 2021 at 4:47

To always run as Administrator, right-click the Android Studio shortcut on the Start menu, click on "More", then "Open File Location", and the file explorer will pop up. Right-click the Android Studio shortcut on the file explorer, go to "Properties", on the properties dialog click on "Advanced" (down there, close to the bottom), and finally, check the "Run as Administrator" checkbox and confirm everything. Just like that, every time you run Android Studio through that shortcut it'll run as Admin. – Rebutter 15/7, 2022 at 21:56

add sudo at start of command in mac terminal. e.g. sudo npx react-native run-android – Darbydarce 6/10, 2022 at 7:26

it does not seems but it is the solution, I have done this in gradle-wrapper. By default studio given a blocked url. you just need to remove backward slash as given after https as I mentioned in the answer. – Prelacy 19/6, 2021 at 7:46

yes, it works perfectly – Blondell 23/11, 2021 at 18:4

thanks a million, after spending 1+ month struggling with this issue finally found the answer! – Experimental 12/1, 2022 at 13:28

worked a treat! – Amalamalbena 12/4, 2022 at 23:26

Brilliant, I was just about to give up until I tried this. Worked perfectly thanks. – Mcclinton 4/7, 2022 at 12:44

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot - why would the gradle-wrapper.properties be messed up like that? – Alodium 9/1 at 17:59

Open your gradle-wrapper.properties and modify your distributionUrl to point to gradle-5.4.1-all.zip, i.e.

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip

Change classpath to 3.5.0

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0'
        ...
    }
}

Thanks for your response.I have tried above solution before but didn't worked.Any other options please ? – Monophthong 23/8, 2019 at 15:38

what happened when you did this, what error do you get? this is how it should work, if it fails, you have to give us more information about how it failed. – Wendelina 26/8, 2019 at 11:37

I am only getting above exception when I start a new project or Import any project, I cannot see logcat too. – Monophthong 27/8, 2019 at 13:35

To get latest version, create a new project and take refer build.gradle (project) and gradle-wrapper.properties – Radiobiology 9/7, 2021 at 9:58

when creating a new project, it will automatically download too, if you are facing issues with old projects. – Radiobiology 29/7, 2021 at 7:9

Close your Android Studio, whatever version you are using.
Start it again with administrative log in.
Android Studio will detect what needs to be updated or downloaded.

Automatically it will resolve the issue.

5.5.1 is out now, try upgrading to that using ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=5.5.1 and see if that makes a difference. This is preferable to editing any Gradle files manually.

Amatol answered 27/8, 2019 at 13:14 Comment(3)

Hi ditn, Thanks for your response. Can you be more specific please ? – Monophthong 27/8, 2019 at 13:17

Sure, run this command in the terminal tab in Android Studio. It'll attempt to fetch the latest version of the Gradle wrapper and install it. – Amatol 27/8, 2019 at 13:21

I am not sure but I have tried almost all possible cases, but no luck. – Monophthong 27/8, 2019 at 13:26

Check if you accidentally changed Gradle user home path. Go to Preference in Android studio, search for gradle and check for the gradle user home path.

It should be like:

/Users/mac/.gradle/

Download Gradle 5.4.1 manually from https://downloads.gradle-dn.com/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip and extract the contents to .gralde directory within your android project. Post which, restart the android studio.

In case the complete error message is something like:

Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip'.
error in opening zip file

You need to delete two files( under your .gradle/wrapper/dists/* directory):

gradle-5.4.1-all.zip
gradle-5.4.1-all.zip.lck

Then try again to download dependencies or upgrade.

Sometimes it might be due to the broken files in .gradle file.

This is an hidden folder in installation directory. Remove the dists folder from this location and go to File -> Invalidate Caches/Restarts.

For me it helped.

rm -rf .gradle/wrapper/dists

I got the same issue in new "Android Studio Bumblebee | 2021.1.1" release. Like "Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-gradle-7.2-all.zip'".

I did the following steps,

Step 1:

I did the same steps mentioned here- https://mcmap.net/q/458763/-could-not-install-gradle-distribution-from-39-https-services-gradle-org-distributions-gradle-5-4-1-all-zip-39 ,

Like,

Close Android studio.
Right click on launcher icon of Android Studio
Click on "Run as administrator".

Step 2:

Also, verified with official gradle URL- https://services.gradle.org/distributions/ , the given link was right or wrong.

Step 3:

Don't forget to restart the Android Studio once the gradle download was completed.

After all the above 3 steps your issue will be resolved for sure and it will be applicable for upcoming gradle upgrade issue.

Note: Also verify "Do not build Gradle task list during Gradle sync" is enabled, in File->Settings->Experimental->Gradle.

Worked for me these steps

Goto->

Update this (backward slash after https) distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-bin.zip

to distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-bin.zip

and Sync the project or click on "try again" option appearing on top

and restart the Android studio, it will automatically download required files.

From: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'

To: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0'

And the gradle version:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1.1-all.zip

I got this error while opening a very old project, the reason was that it was trying to fetch over http and not https. Update the distributionUrl path to https in the path \<project directory\>\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties and run the android studio in admin mode.

Please check the value of checksum that you are using in the 'gradle-wrapper.properties' for the version that you are using. It could also be a problem and you get the same error.

Find the value of checksum for the gradle versions at below link:

My solution is just turn on the offline mode, and give the wrong version value like "https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.2.1-all.zip", it shows the error like no offline package available and asks me to try in offline mode, then just replace with the exact correct value and turn off the offline mode, then click try again, it is worked for me.

Try downgrading the gradle version in gradle-wrapper.properties.

In my case I pulled a commit from our github project not knowing that my colleague has upgraded his own gradle version. I had to downgrade the version to the older one I was using before it started working.

Try it and see if it helps.

Using a VPN fixed it for me.

After I tried most of the solutions above, I tried downloading that specific version manually from the release page(https://services.gradle.org/distributions/), but I got an error. Checking the console, it was a 401(unauthorized) error.

I downloaded Proton VPN, used the free account and the default location (Netherlands) and retried downloading from the release page, it worked and I retried in Android studio and it was a success.

For me, the issue was that Android Studio wasn't detecting the proxy I was behind. I kept getting the Untrusted Certificate popup every time I launched Android Studio, regardless of how many times I accepted - and then eventually hit the error "Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5..-all.zip'"

I configured the HTTP proxy in Android Studio (Settings ->Appearance & Behavior ->System Settings->HTTP Proxy) and set automatically accept certificates to true (Settings->Tools->Server Certificates->Accept Non Trusted Certificates Automatically). However, be careful trusting all untrusted certificates - this has potential security risks associated with it. I was fine in my case as the certificate issuer was always the same.

I could download and install gradle after that.

Just find gradle-wrapper.properties in your IDE. And change version in distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip' to distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.8.3-bin.zip

Ensure the Network connection is very good and keep on retrying. Sometimes i tap retry few times before it works.
