If you work on Windows   you must start Android Studio name by Administrator  It solved my problem

I found the problem after one hour struggling with this error message    I accidentally renamed the root build gradle to filename in builde gradle  so Android Studio didn t recognize it anymore   Renaming it to build gradle resolved the issue

This may also happen when you have both settings gradle and settings gradle kts files are present in project root directory  possibly with the same module included   You should only have one of these files

User · Answer

Make sure your two build gradle and settings gradle files are in the correct directories as stated in https   developer android com studio build index html  Then open  as existing project  in Visual Studio  Gradle is very finicky about this

This can happen if you miss adding the Top-level build file   Just add build gradle to top level   It should look like this     Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects modules  buildscript       repositories           mavenCentral             dependencies           classpath  com android tools build gradle 0 xx y           allprojects       repositories           mavenCentral

I got this error message after making the following change in my top-level build gradle to update to the latest version of gradle     classpath  com android tools build gradle 2 3 2  old classpath  com android tools build gradle 2 3 3    new   I foolishly made the change while I was connected behind a hostile workplace proxy  The proxy caused the  jar files for the new version of gradle to become corrupt  This can be verified by inspecting the jars to see if they are an unusual size or whether they can be unzipped   In order to fix the mistake  I connected to my network at home  which is not behind a proxy  and did a refresh dependencies from the Terminal     gradlew --refresh-dependencies   This caused the newer version of gradle to be re-downloaded and the error no longer occurs

For future reference  For me  this issue was solely caused by the fact that I wasn t running Android Studio as administrator  I had the shortcut on Windows configured to always run as administrator  but after reinstalling Android Studio  the shortcut was replaced  and so it ran without administrator rights  This caused a lot of opaque errors  including the one in this question

Go to your grade file where you can see this   buildscript       repositories           jcenter             dependencies           classpath  com android tools build gradle 2 1 0               NOTE  Do not place your application dependencies here  they belong            in the individual module build gradle files           And change classpath to this   buildscript       repositories           jcenter             dependencies             classpath  com android tools build gradle 2 1 0          classpath  com android tools build gradle-experimental 0 7 0-alpha1              NOTE  Do not place your application dependencies here  they belong            in the individual module build gradle files

The other answers didn t work for me  I guess something wrong happens between ButterKnife and 3 0 0 alpha5   However  I found that when I annotated any one sentence  either BUtterKnife or 3 0 0 alpha5  it works normally   So  you should just avoid the duplication or conflict

I am writing this not as a solution meant for many  but for some people who may commit a simple mistake like specifying the wrong url for importing projects from SVN  It is intended for those guys     This happened to me when I imported the project from SVN -  automatic prompt by Studio to open the project -  It asked for Gradle location  -  D  Software Android gradle-2 5 -  Then the error   The same project in a different SVN branch works fine with the Gradle plugin and Gradle which I have configured in Studio  I tried changing Android Gradle plugin and Gradle to get it working on the erring branch without any success   Finally  I figured out that it was my following mistake  I tried importing a specific Application alone instead of importing the application along with dependent library projects  The url which I used for import initially had the Application porject s name at the end  Once I removed it  and specified the parent directory which contained both application project and its dependent project  everything went smooth

This just happened to me using Android Studio 1 3 2  however  since I had just created the project  I deleted it and created it again  It seems that it had not been properly created by Android Studio the first time  not even the project folders where as expected

I was using IntelliJ IDEA 13 1 5 and faced with the same problem after I changed versions of Picasso and Retrofit in dependencies in build gradle file   I tried use many solutions  but without result   Then I cloned my project from remote git  where I pushed it before changing versions of dependencies  and it worked  After that I just closed current project and imported old project from Gradle file to IntelliJ IDEA again and it worked too  So  I think it was strange bug in intersection of IDEA  Gradle and Android plugin  I hope this information can be useful for IDEA-users or anyone else

In this case of issues check below code   dependencies       classpath  com android tools build gradle   1 5 0        and gradle-wrapper properties inside your project directory check below disctributionUrl   distributionUrl https    services gradle org distributions gradle-2 9-all zip   If these are not compatible with each other then you end up in this issue   For com android tools build gradle 1 5  you need a version at least 2 8 but if you switch to a higher version like com android tools build gradle 2 1 0 then you need to update your gradle to 2 9 and above this can be done by changing distributionUrl in gradle-wrapper properties to 2 9 or higher as below  distributionUrl https    services gradle org distributions gradle-2 10-all zip
