Even though this question is very old  many must be facing the same issue  so I would like to state how I fixed this   The problem is classpath  com android tools build gradle 0 13 2  By above line in build gradle you are asking it to find a particular version of gradle but this version is not there in your machine  The best it to change the above line to   classpath  com android tools build gradle

I had this problem today after upgrading to Android Studio 3 2 Beta 2   I had configured my JDK for OpenJDK 10 0 1  and it threw this error after upgrading   I set the JDK back to using the enbedded JDK  and the error went away   I have no idea why it worked fine before I upgraded to Beta 2  but all is good now   Honestly I guess there is no need for OpenJDK 10 for Android

It usually happen when your have included the dependency and it won t have repository reference like mavenCentral   or jcenter   etc to download it  What I usually do identify such dependency is set gradle to work offline  Android studio will automatically show a dependency which is not locally available  then look for the dependency details in their providers github page like from which repository to pick from and update your repositories and sink it  Hope it will work

quot Unable to find valid certification path to requested target quot  If you are getting this message  you probably are behind a Proxy on your company  which probably is signing all request certificates with your company root CA certificate  this certificate is trusted only inside your company  so Android Studio cannot validate any certificate signed with your company certificate as valid  so  you need to tell Android Studio to trust your company certificate  you do that by adding your company certificate to Android Studio truststore   I m doing this on macOS  but should be similar on Linux or Windows   First  you need to save your company root CA certificate as a file  you can ask this certificate to your IT department  or download it yourself  here is how  Open your browser and open this url  for example  https   jcenter bintray com  or https   search maven org   click on the lock icon and then click on Show certificate   On the popup window  to save the root certificate as a file  make sure to select the top level of the certificates chain  the root cert  and drag the certificate image to a folder directory on your disk drive  It should be saved as a file as  for example  my-root-ca-cert cer  or my-root-ca-cert pem   Second  let s add this certificate to the accepted Server Certificates of Android Studio   On Android Studio open Preferences - gt  Tools - gt  Server Certificates  on the box Accepted certificates click the plus icon      search the certificate you saved previously and click Apply and OK   Third  you need to add the certificate to the Android Studio JDK truststore  Gradle use this JDK to build the project  so it s important    In Android Studio open File - gt  Project Structure - gt  SDK Location - gt  JDK Location  Copy the path of JDK Location  and open the Terminal  and change your directory to that path  for example  execute  cd  Applications Android  Studio app Contents jre jdk Contents Home    don t forget to scape the whitespace   quot    quot   Now  to import the certificate to the truststore  execute    bin keytool -importcert -file  path to your certificate my-root-ca-cert cer -keystore   jre lib security cacerts -storepass changeit -noprompt   Finally  restart Android Studio  or better click File - gt  Invalidate Caches   Restart  Done  you should be able to build your project now
