Gradle sync failed failed to find Build Tools revision 24 0 0 rc1

Question

As of today I ve been running into an error setting up new projects in Android Studio   Right after creating a blank project the log mentions  Gradle sync failed  failed to find Build Tools revision 24 0 0 rc1    First I looked online to see how to resolve this and came across this similar question  and followed the solution given  setting the build tools version in the module settings    However  this results in Android Studio telling me that the method  android    cannot be found and  The project  TestBlankApplication  may be using a version of Gradle that does not contain the method    Additionally  the SDK Manager informs me that I have Build-tools 24 rc1 installed   So I do not know why Android Studio cannot find it   Screencap of SDK Manager showing 24 rc1 installed    Does anyone know how this can be resolved   Thank you

Why you got this error  Android studio does not come with build tools for different android versions when you download it  It also does not make sense since there are multiple versions of build tools and each of them will take hundreds of megabytes on your hard drive  This is why Android Studio installation package is 1 GB while Xcode  which has all the build tools  is 6 GB When you choose a specific build version in the build gradle file  your android studio may or may not have that version of build tool installed  And if not  you will see the error complaining about it  How to fix it You just need to install the specific version of build tool mentioned in build gradle like this   Click File  gt  Settings  on a Mac  Android Studio  gt  Preferences  to open the Settings dialog  Go to Appearance  amp  Behavior  gt  System Settings  gt  Android SDK  Or simply search for Android SDK on the search bar  Go to SDK Tools tab  gt  Check the Show Package Details check box Select the specific version of the build tool and click on the Apply button After the installation  sync the project  Demos  I choose a different version just to show you how to apply the changes by that apply button       And then sync the project  The error is gone now

Follow the below procedure to solve the error  Go to File -  Project structure       From the drop down box  you will know all the version of build tools that are installed in your android studio  Look for a higher version  If Gradle cannot find 24 0 0  check if 24 0 1 is present in drop down  Do a complete code search  Find all the places where  24 0 0  is found  Replace it with  24 0 1  Do a gradle sync

SDK tools required build tool version installation helped me  You just need to install required build tool version from   SDK Manager -  SDK tool -  Show Package details -  Select required build tool version and install it

I ran into this problem after a fresh install of Android Studio  in GNU Linux   I also used the installation wizard for Android SDK  and the Build Tools 28 0 3 were installed  although Android Studio tried to use 28 0 2 instead   But the problem was not the build tools version but the license  I had not accepted the Android SDK license  the wizard does not ask for it   and Android Studio refused to use the build tools  the error message just is wrong   In order to solve the problem  I manually accepted the license  In a terminal  I launched  ANDROID SDK tools bin sdkmanager --licenses and answered  Yes  for the SDK license  The other ones can be refused

I had same problem and eventually found out that in file build gradle the version does not match the version of buildTools in my installed sdk   because I imported project done at home on different computed with updated sdk   before    build gradle app   buildToolsVersion  24 0 2  Android sdk build-tools  file  25 0 1    fixed  build gradle app   buildToolsVersion  25 0 1   Then just sync your project with gradle files and it should work

[android] Gradle sync failed: failed to find Build Tools revision 24.0.0 rc1
