[android] Android Studio - Failed to notify project evaluation listener error

Following is the build.gradle code in Android Studio

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

}

I am getting the below error: Error:A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.

Failed to notify project evaluation listener. com.android.build.gradle.tasks.factory.AndroidJavaCompile.setDependencyCacheDir(Ljava/io/File;)V

Can anyone please help?

Following is the Instant Run screenshot

I had this issue because I was using Charles proxy on my computer and the SSL was enabled for all hosts. And since AS didn't trust my proxy, the network request failed. So I had to disable SSL for all hosts and restart my Android Studio.

It is interesting but as for me help this:

 File -> Setting -> Gradle -> disable offline work

For those of you working on a team:

I pulled down some changes that included updating the build tools version, but I had not downloaded that new version of the build tools on my machine. Downloading the new version fixed this issue for me

I got this problem too. I fix it by Change build.gradle in project

Change

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'
}

And also I change the distributionUrl in gradle-wrapper.properties(Global Version)

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.0-milestone-1-all.zip

And got succeed.FYI.

In my case, i got wifi problem. make sure you have valid internet connection

This is neither an exact answer to the question nor a silver bullet. However, if nothing works for you e.g. Invalidate cache & restart, Checking build dependency, Disabling Instant Run (I never advise that) etc.

1. Add command-line option --stacktrace in Setting > Build, Execution, Deployment > Compiler
2. Now build/assemble gradle once again. You will have detailed information about the cause. e.g. in my case:

Caused by: org.gradle.internal.resolve.ModuleVersionNotFoundException: Could not find com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:3.9.1Net.

I have misspelled the dependency name in module level gradle file. Hope that help

In my case, I was missing the target SDK platform installed. I remember this error was straightforward and prompted you to install it automatically. Worth checking that as well.

For me, this issue arose due to an incompatible combination of plugin and gradle.

I added these to the code to have it working:

Main build.gradle

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
    }

Main gradle-wrapper.properties:

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

The problem is probably you're using a Gradle version rather than 3. go to gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties and change the last line to this:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip

With the new google support gradle plugin (com.google.gms.google-services) this can be caused by some dependency version problems with your com.google.android.gms.* modules.

You can probably see the root cause by running the build command with the --stacktrace parameter. i.e.:

./gradlew :app:dependencies --stacktrace

which might output the cause of the problem:

Caused by: org.gradle.api.GradleException: The library com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement-base is being requested by various other libraries at [[15.0.2,15.0.2], [16.0.0,16.0.0]], but resolves to 16.0.0. Disable the plugin and check your dependencies tree using ./gradlew :app:dependencies. at com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin$1$_afterResolve_closure1.doCall(GoogleServicesPlugin.groovy:328) at org.gradle.api.internal.ClosureBackedAction.execute(ClosureBackedAction.java:71)

In my case I solved this error only by Invalidating caches.

File > Invalidate caches / Restart

org.gradle.configureondemand=false

add this code into your gradle.properties file, It will work well but you may receive other errors.

For me I had to specifically stop the gradlew and clear caches and this fixed my issues:

./gradlew --stop
// Delete all cache files in your project. With git: `git -xfd clean` 
// Delete global cache dir. On Mac it is located in `~/.gradle/caches

Found here: https://github.com/realm/realm-java/issues/5650#issuecomment-355011135

had similar problem, issue was different versions of included library. to find out what causes problem run build command with stacktrace

./gradlew build --stacktrace

I ignored using JDK13 with Android Studio, So I selected below settings and it was solved:

Step 1. (File > Other Settings > Default Project Structure > SDK Location > JDK Location)

Embedded JDK 

Step 2. (File > Project Structure > Project)

gradle plugin 3.6.3 

gradle 5.6.4 

Just restart Android Studio - Usually then everything works again. (Invalidate Caches + Restart is actually not required).

In my case, I had to do -

File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files

I had buildToolsVersion "27.0.1", upgrading it to 27.0.2 fixed the issue.

Also, my android support deps were at version 27.0.2 so they were not aligned to the buildToolsVersion

I also encountered this error when updating to 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'

To fix it, I had to add the google() repo to both the buildscript and module repositories. The documentation here only mentions adding to to the buildscript.

Project-level build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        ...
        // You need to add the following repository to download the
        // new plugin.
        google()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
    }
}

App-level build.gradle

repositories {
    ...
    // Documentation doesn't specify this, but it must be added here
    google()
}

gradle-wrapper.properties

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

Just Change the Distribution url at gradle-wrapper.properties

Place it : https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.1-all.zip

I enabled "Offline-Work" under File -> Settings ->Build,Deploy, Exec -> Gradle And this finally resolved the issue for me.

I've resolved this issue by cleaning all the Gradle cache, stoping the Gradle Daemon process, and created a new build successfully using the following command. Make sure your current directory is android.

rm -rf ~/.gradle/caches && ./gradlew --stop && ./gradlew cleanBuildCache && ./gradlew bundleRelease

I'm using React Native. So I've added following in my scripts in package.json,

"build-android": "rm -rf ~/.gradle/caches && cd android && ./gradlew --stop && ./gradlew cleanBuildCache && ./gradlew bundleRelease && cd ..",

Usually it depends on Instant run or Gradle, but I tried both variants and nothing helped me. Then I looked through idea.log and saw this error

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: A conflict was found between the 
following modules:
 - com.android.support:support-core-utils:25.3.1
 - com.android.support:support-core-utils:27.0.1

I really don't know why this error is not shown in Gradle Console or Event Log tab. Then I fixed it by adding some code to the end of android{} block.

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
        failOnVersionConflict()
        eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
            if (details.requested.name == 'support-core-utils') {
                details.useVersion '25.3.1'//Or you can use 27.0.1 if it does not conflict with your other dependencies
            }
    }
}

First Step:File ? Settings ? Build, Execution, Deployment ? Instant Run and uncheck Enable Instant Run. Second step: Press Invalidate/Restart. done.... Enjoy.

In my case I have changed version of Kotlin plugin in gradle file related to module but hadn't change it in root gradle file.

you need check your gradle version. gradle -v

then you should know your gradle version and your gradle plugin version compatible.

Example:

gradle 4.6 is not compatible with gradle plugin 2.2.

so need update com.android.tools.build:gradle version to 2.3.3.

then you need check gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties distributionUrl gradle version

google Android Plugin for Gradle Release Notes

on the other hand

using newer plugin version might require to update Android Studio

thanks @antek

The only thing that helped me was to use the system gradle instead of Android Studio's built-in:

SETTINGS -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Gradle

Select Use local gradle distribution. To find the path, you can do which gradle where the which program is supported. It might be /usr/bin/gradle.

See also Error:Could not initialize class com.android.sdklib.repositoryv2.AndroidSdkHandler for another possible cause.

SETTINGS -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Gradle -> unselect Offline work Then sync project, you are good to go. If not working , then File > Invalidate caches / Restart - > Invalidate and Restart.

I have met the similar problem.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> Failed to notify project evaluation listener.
   > org.gradle.api.tasks.compile.CompileOptions.setBootClasspath(Ljava/lang/String;)V

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 5.0.
Use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings.
See https://docs.gradle.org/5.0-milestone-1/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings

BUILD FAILED in 7s
Build step 'Invoke Gradle script' changed build result to FAILURE
Build step 'Invoke Gradle script' marked build as failure
Finished: FAILURE

The key is you need to get a way to solve this kind of problems,not to solve this problem.

According to the log above,the most important information is:

Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

Most of the building problems of Gradle will be solved because when you use the specific Gradle build command,you can get more detailed and useful information that are clear.

*clean project
./gradlew clean  

*build project
./gradlew build

*build for debug package
./gradlew assembleDebug or ./gradlew aD

*build for release package
./gradlew assembleRelease or ./gradlew aR

*build for release package and install
./gradlew installRelease or ./gradlew iR Release

*build for debug package and install
./gradlew installDebug or ./gradlew iD Debug

*uninstall release package
./gradlew uninstallRelease or ./gradlew uR

*uninstall debug package
./gradlew uninstallDebug or ./gradlew uD 

*all the above command + "--info" or "--debug" or "--scan" or "--stacktrace" can get more detail information.

And then I found the problem is related with the version of Gradle,when I have changed Gradle from 5.0 to 4.1,and then it's OK.

In my case I had to update all the Firebase libraries to the latest versions.
