Gradle 7.0.Use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings.
See https://docs.gradle.org/6.3/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings then i did same build with --warning-mode all and i got this message --Executing Gradle tasks as part of an undefined build has been deprecated. This will fail with an error in Gradle 7.0. Consult the upgrading guide for further in
formation: https://docs.gradle.org/6.3/userguide/upgrading_version_5.html#executing_gradle_without_a_settings_file_has_been_deprecated

have a look to image
thank u i hope u will help me please give me suggestions and help me to do it 😞😞

No need to hurry - as long as you don't upgrade to Gradle 7.0 nothing bad will happen. And since Gradle 6.3 has been released quite recently the next release is at least 5 to 6 weeks away...
If your project is a simple project without subprojects, the settings.gradle file can be an empty file (though it needs to exist).
You must place it into the same directory as your build.gradle file.
You need more content in the settings.gradle file if you start creating multi-project builds. The documentation about multi-project builds is part of the gradle documentation (what a surpise!): https://guides.gradle.org/creating-multi-project-builds/
Detailed information about the allowed settings are available at https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.initialization.Settings.html

Kotlin Koans with EduTools plugin: "Failed to launch checking"

I'm trying to follow the Kotlin Koans tutorial in Android Studio by installing the EduTools plugin and choosing Kotlin Koans course.
Everything works fine, but when I try "Check Task" in the Task Description panel, I get this error:
Failed to launch checking
I also tried the plugin with Intellij IDEA and got the same error.
Using:
Android Studio 3.2 with EduTools 2.0-2018.1-443
Intellij IDEA 2018.2.3 with EduTools 2.0-2018.2-906

Maybe could try IntelliJ Idea Edu which comes already bundled with EduTools.

I found the problem in IDE logs as #NullReference suggested.
INFO - ecker.gradle.GradleCommandLine - Failed to launch checking
Cannot run program "./gradlew" (...) No such file or directory
I had configured the project (Settings / Build, Execution, Deployment / Build Tools / Gradle) to use a local Gradle distribution and it seems that EduTools plugin always looks for the Gradle Wrapper, so I just had to generate a Wrapper for project and configure it to use my local Gradle distribution:
gradle wrapper --gradle-distribution-url file:///path/to/local/gradle-4.6-all.zip

In my case I had a problem related to JDK 11 and I had JDK 8 installed.
This is how I fixed the problem:
Go to Settings / Build, Execution, Deployment / Build Tools / Gradle.
At Gradle JVM select JDK 11 path.
It worked for me.

I also got this issue. Finally, I 've resolved it by configuring my gradle bin to PATH.
Here are series of commands to configure Gradle into you Path.
# cd ~
# touch .bash_profile
# open -e .bash_profile
//to edit your bash_profile ,you need to input your local path to bash_profile,like this:
export GRADLE_HOME=/Users/PCNAME/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-4.5-bin/bgd6nrwgxy3inh8yed6gmsvbx/gradle-4.5/ --- use your own grade path to replace them.
export PATH=${PATH}:${GRADLE_HOME}/bin
# source .bash_profile
# gradle -v // you will see your gradle version if your configure successfully.
Restart Android Studio, try to run your EDUTOOLS.

I received the same error. I closed Android Studio and created a new Koans project thinking I must have done something wrong. This time I received a new build time error when trying to "Check". None of this made sense so I just shut down Android Studio, reopened the Koans project I just created and clicked "Check". Everything seemed to work now.

Had the same problem. Just Sharing how I fixed this problem.
I opened build.gradle of my Kotlin Koans Project and scrolled down to where wrapper was defined.
Pressed play icon right next to it.
Was greeted with an error
Error:Failed to open zip file.
Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
Followed Answer by Hamid
To resolve this issue close Android Studio and delete the following
directory's content, necessary files will be downloaded on IDE's next
launch.
macOS: ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists
Linux: ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists
Windows: C:\Users\your-username.gradle\wrapper\dists
Restarted Android Studio and it worked like a charm.

Failed to open .zip Gradle Cache May be corrupt error

I am facing Gradle cache error and I don't know how to tackle it. I have attached the error snap with my question below. I tried different solutions posted at stack-overflow but none of them worked. Anyone suggest me a solution Any additional suggestions would be helpful.
e.g Error: Failed to open zip file.e.g
Error: Failed to open zip file.

Download the latest gradle package from this directory
Extract it and put it somewhere (for example f:\gradle-1.10)
Go to your Android Studio and load your project then open File->Settings->gradle, in this page click on Use local gradle distribution.
Type your gradle folder address there.

Its because your gradle directory is not the directory of your gradle, to check go to android studio open your project then open File->Settings->Build,Execution, Deployment->Gradle

Hey not necessary to set gradle manually. i have also faced this issue but i deleted all files in gradle folder path "C:/Users/username/.gradle/"
simple steps follow
first goto path "C:/Users/username/.gradle/"
delete all files in above path.
open android studio and sync gradle or build again or create new project.
it will be auto downloaded new gradle version files and auto build.
*Make sure you your gradle settings like this
- checked "Use default gradle wrapper(recommended)
- unchecked offline work

You can download manually but this is another solution:
Change "https" to "http" on 'gradle-wrapper.properties' in root project.
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip
to,
distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip

first :i tried to delete the .gradle folder from project it doesn't
work;
second: i tried use the old version gradle ,but studio force me to
use gradle-3.3,so it confused me long time；
third：I noticed the tips unzip exception"java.util.zip.ZipException:
error in opening zip file", I tried to unzip the file by handset's
really can't unzip, so the problem must happen in the download
process.
solution: I copy the file "gradle-3.3-all.zip " from my colleague who build success，and replace mine in such path ".gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-3.3-all/55gk2rcmfc6p2dg9u9ohc3hw9/gradle-3.3-all.zip "

If you want to use gradle wrapper - delete anything under:
.gradle/wrapper/dists/
and refresh gradle.
The gradle wrapper will download from scratch and everything should work fine.

I solved this problem with the installation of Gradle using HomeBrew on Mac. If you type gradle -v in terminal and shows command not found: gradle, then I think you can use this way to solve this problem on Mac:
First install the Gradle with Homebrew: brew install gradle
Then go to Android Studio, open Android Studio->Preferences->Build,Execution,Deployment->Gradle, under Project-level settings check: Use local gradle distribution and set Gradle home with: '/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/3.5/libexec' (3.5 is my gradle version)
Try again, and if the version is not correct, you can manually download the specified version from gradle website (the version specified in the file <your project dir>/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties: distributionUrl=<url>), extract the downloaded zip file to the location and set the Gradle home to it in Android Studio.
Hope that helps.

From my MAC i just go to the gradle folder (/Users/USER/.gradle) > wrapper > dist and delete the gradle folder with the problem. Then go to studio and re-download the gradle file.

In my case, I changed distributionUrl in gradle-wrapper.properties from
https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-bin.zip
to
https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-all.zip

cd /root/.gradle/wrapper/dists
ls
gradle-5.6.4-all gradle-6.5-all gradle-6.6.1-bin
gradle-6.1.1-bin gradle-6.5-bin
for example (gradle-6.1.1-bin) :
rm -R gradle-6.1.1-bin

Stuck at refreshing gradle project. What is happening under the hood?

I can not build any android project in Android Studio. Recently Android studio was updated to 2.3 as well as the gradle version. I think somewhere the update has messed up I am not sure where it is. I have deleted .gradle directory from the home folder several times by now. Changed the distributionUrl to older version of gradle. But the problem persists. Where to look at what is going on? How to solve this issue?

The reason behind taking too much time on refreshing gradle project is, it was downloading gradle distribution and each time and for some network issue the download was never being completed. The zip file for gradle distribution was 91MB. So the network error + slow internet connection made it impossible task for my Android Studio.
I found two solution for this:
First approach is we have to download the gradle distribution manually from services.gradle.org/distributions. Then follow the process of this answer of the question - Android Studio Stuck at Gradle Download on create new project.
Second approach is somewhat like the first approach but less complex. Download gradle distribution. Extract it somewhere. Then go to:
File > Settings > Build, Execution and Deployment > Gradle
Check Use local gradle distribution. Set the Gradle home to the folder we have extracted.

I had the same problem
What I have done is
1.Close your project
2.Delete folders of .idea , .gradle, gradle folders from my project(not from home). then
3.File=>open your project
press ok in the dialogue box it will automatically set the gradle for you.
or
You can specify gradle path
settings->build excecution deployment->build tools->gradle set your
gradle home path to your downloaded gradle

I faced this case because of slow internet, Each time while beginning with the project, it downloads the gradles taking more time.Finally refreshing complete after waiting for 10 minute.

it works when I uncheck iOS subproject... Have no idea how to fix it

I had the same problem when using a libGDX project with libGDX version 1.5.4.
In your build.gradle file look for something like:
classpath 'org.robovm:robovm-gradle-plugin:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT' and change it to: classpath 'org.robovm:robovm-gradle-plugin:1.0.0-beta-04'
Do the same for: roboVMVersion = '1.0.0-SNAPSHOT' and change it to: roboVMVersion = '1.0.0-beta-04'
This should work otherwise try changing both to: 1.0.0-beta-01.
After this it should ask you to sync your project, click sync now!
Hope this helps!
Here are some helpful links:

http://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/news.html

For those who are using the latest version of Android Studio 4.0.0, if your Generate fails in libGDX it says
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
Don't worry you need to downgrade Gradle version to 6.0 by dragging the file you created in libGDX into Android Studio, then going to Gradle Script> gradle-wrapper.properties
And change
distributionUrl = https : //services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-zip.zip
change into
distributionUrl = https : //services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.0-all.zip
Please note you will also need to install java jdk 8!
This worked for me, I had to spend a lot of time including uninstalling Android Studio but it didn't work at all. From above experience is how I got it solved very quickly and inexpensively!
