Looking for help with Andriod Studio / Gradle build problems

mbw4359 · March 20, 2020, 6:03pm

Hi All,
I try’n to get back up to speed on developing Android apps and need some help because it’s been about 6 years and the tools have changed alot since I basically understood them.

I imported a project that I spent a lot time learning about Android development and it gets these errors that Googling just doesn’t give a straight forward answer to. Here’s the Gradle output:

Check out these docs; Catatan rilis plugin Android Gradle | Android Studio | Android Developers (specifically the “update gradle” section).

I think com.android.tools.build:gradle actually refers to the “Android Gradle plugin” (and not gradle itself). There isn’t a plugin version 5.6.4. According to the linked table, for Gradle 5.6.4 the corresponding plugin version should actually be 3.6.0+.

Look closely at your top level build.gradle. I’m guessing the wrong plugin version is specified there… It needs to look something like…

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        ...
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.0'
    }
}
