When I boot up Android Studio and select "New Project..." and go through creating a new project, I get this popup error:
Failed to import new Gradle project: failed to find Build Tools revision 17.0.0
Consult IDE log for more details (Help | Show Log)
I would love to consult the IDE log, but I haven't even managed to get into the application to do much of anything. I've went through the preferences multiple times to see if I can set a path for the Build Tools, but I can't find much of anything. How do I fix this, or how do I get into the application without opening a project so I can at least see the logs?

Whenever you will try to run a project with build tool version not present in studio, You will face this error.
As of now in 2017, It has been made really simple by Android Studio.
It will prompt you about this issue, along with something like this
You just have to click on it and the system will download to the build version required to run the project.
I had the API 17 installed but that was not enough. What I really need installed is the "Android SDK Build-Tools 17".
You can locate your "Android SDK Build-Tools X" inside the first child, named "Tools", in the "Android SDK Manager".
Look in the SDK Manager what is your highest Android SDK Build-tools
version, and copy this version number in your project build.gradle
file, in the android/buildToolsVersion
property (for me, version was "18.1.1").
Hope it help!
Try to run gradle
at the command line first. It might prompt you to setup and environment variable:
export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xms256m -Xmx1024m"
Further make sure that the Android SDK build tools (adb
, aapt
, dx
, dx.jar
) are available in the PATH
. If not you can create symlinks at the appropriate locations. They changed with the release of new SDK versions. Here is a shell script which creates the symlinks within the $ANDROID_HOME
folder for you.
As of May 2020, A really straightforward solution using Android Studio:
Basically error saying your are missing "Android SDK Build-tools" installed.
I had this problem recently, my project didn't include local.properties
file.
Check local.properties
file if it includes sdk.dir
with correct path to sdk
i think you can download the latest android SDK and use it.i do this and fixed the problem and work well. here is the link: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download
This worked for me after i tryed many solutions:
For some reason the adb process didn't restart itself after installing new packages. Manualy killing adb.exe and attempt to import the project another time solved this problem for me.
This is what I had to do:
ANDROID_HOME=C:\...\android-sdk
GRADLE_HOME=C:\...\gradle-1.6
PATH=...;%GRADLE_HOME%\bin;%ANDROID_HOME%\tools;%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools
It happens because Build Tools revision x doesn't exist.
Today, the latest version is 23.0.2
(subject to change all the time).
The buildToolsVersion
s you want are included in the Android SDK, normally installed in the <sdk>/build-tools/<buildToolsVersion>
directory.
Don't confuse the Android SDK Tools with SDK Build Tools.
Change in your build.gradle
's buildToolsVersion
to some version installed in <sdk>/build-tools
android {
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
// ...
}
in your Project perspective, look for Application --> build.gradle and edit this lines
android {
compileSdkVersion "android-N"
buildToolsVersion "24.0.0 rc1"
like this:
android {
compileSdkVersion 24
buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"
