How to fix gradle build error A problem occurred configuring root project?

Question

Every time I try to build a project this happens. Android studio version 3.4 Gradle sync fails at configure build

For some reason it can not get resource at the url. But I can download the file from browser.

Caused by: org.gradle.api.resources.ResourceException: Could not get resource 'https://maven.google.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.2.1/gradle-3.2.1.jar'.

Below is the gradle file:

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

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com/'
            name 'Google'
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'

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

ext {
    supportlib_version = '28.0.0'
    gps_version = '[16.0.0, 17.0.0)'
    fb_version = '[15.0.0, 17.0.0)'
}

//Ensure that all dependencies use the same version of the Android Support library
subprojects {
    project.configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details ->
            if (details.requested.group == 'com.android.support'
                    && !details.requested.name.contains('multidex')) {
                details.useVersion "$supportlib_version"
            }
            if (details.requested.group == 'com.google.android.gms'
                    && !details.requested.name.contains('multidex')) {
                details.useVersion "$gps_version"
            }
            if (details.requested.group == 'com.google.firebase'
                    && !details.requested.name.contains('multidex')) {
                details.useVersion "$fb_version"
            }
        }
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}

I have tried following.

1. Invalided cache restart,
2. Local gradle distribution
3. rebuild project/clean project
4. Reinstall android studio
5. Re download sdk
6. sync project with gradle files
7. Check marked enable embedded maven repository.

Hi, I am also getting same exception, I have checked online, also checked Firewall but none worked.I am stuck here from 4 days.Please help me on this. My Question - #60182692 – Dissidence

Answer 1

The very first thing I'd guess, there might be a Firewall blocking the connection of Android Studio.

If so, try to disable it for a brief moment and test again. If it works, you might want to add Android Studio to your firewall whitelist.

I added exception for both x86 and x64 version of android studio exe in firewall and turned off avast antivirus. Don't know what was the exact cause but it seems to be downloading all the files now. Synced successfully. – Miler

Answer 2

Note that

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}

and

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com/'
            name 'Google'
        }
    }
}

are different, you should also put google() to top for buildscript {repositories { } }: i.e.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google() // <-- here
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com/'
            name 'Google'
        }
    }
}

Answer 3

Try looking into the build configurations. None of the suggestions worked for me. What I would suggest is looking at the Java version your IDE is working with and what your project requires. In my error message I was able to pick out it was looking for Java 17 and I was running 11. Since I was new to my IDE and still needed to configure the Java build settings to work with Gradle I just opened this window to make my changes.

Answer 4

May your download was not succeffully done
Remove gradle cache and dists at $HOME folder

rm -r $HOME/.gradle/caches $HOME/.gradle/dists/*

Try to redownload it.

Answer 5

We have the same problem but i just solve it today. and What causes this is because i Transfer the Toolkit(Flutter) in D Drive. :) what i do is go to the location of your emulator. and open the emu-launch-params.txt with notepad

C:\Users\admin\.android\avd\emu-launch-params.txt

And you will see this.

C:\src\flutter // <--- old Location
C:\Users\sonim\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\emulator\emulator.exe3
C:\Users\sonim\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\emulator\emulator.exe
-avd
Pixel_3a_API_29

change the first line which is the location of your toolkit (flutter) to where your transfer it ex D:\src\flutter.

D:\src\flutter // <--- New Location
C:\Users\sonim\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\emulator\emulator.exe3
C:\Users\sonim\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\emulator\emulator.exe
-avd
Pixel_3a_API_29

After changing save it :)

Answer 6

Try to remove the .gradle folder and re-downloaded it again

rm -r $HOME/.gradle

Maybe just move it to gradle.bak instead of removing it – Sanches
