Could not find method dependencyResolutionManagement() for arguments

I'm trying to use a project which my teacher gave to me, but it shows me an error
Settings file '/Users/admin/AndroidStudioProjects/HTTPNetworking/settings.gradle' line: 1
A problem occurred evaluating settings 'HTTPNetworking'.
> Could not find method dependencyResolutionManagement() for arguments [settings_d1xerae4a210x6r7efckrwyki$_run_closure1#580a3803] on settings 'HTTPNetworking' of type org.gradle.initialization.DefaultSettings.

settings.gradle contains:

repositories {

mavenCentral()
jcenter() // Warning: this repository is going to shut down soon
}
}
rootProject.name = "HTTP Networking"
include ':app'
What's wrong with it?

in gradle-7.3 and lower method dependencyResolutionManagement have #Incubating annotation. To use this method in your settings.gradle or settings.gradle.kts file you need to add the line:
enableFeaturePreview("VERSION_CATALOGS")

This error can be caused by defining the dependencyResolutionManagement block in a build.gradle file instead of in the settings.gradle (which is where the doco clearly tells you to put it).
Not that I did that or anything.
Feel free to upvote this answer if you also totally did not make that obviously dumb mistake.

This error could be caused due to having an older gradle-version, the issue got resolved for me after i upgraded my gradle version to 7.4.2 for my project

Copy and replace below codes in Top-level build file :
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.3'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
mavenCentral()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
and make comment these lines in settings.gardle(:) :
pluginManagement {
repositories {
gradlePluginPortal()
google()
mavenCentral()
}
}
dependencyResolutionManagement {
repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
}
}
Note that Gradle Version better to be 6.6 for Gradle Plugin 4.1.3

Go to gradle/gradle-wrapper.properties and change your distributionUrl
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.4-bin.zip

How does Android search for dependencies on GitHub?

i want to implement a dependency from GitHub in my android project but it gives me this error
Could not find com.github.RobertApikyan:SegmentedControl:1.2.0
I'm implementing this:
implementation 'com.github.RobertApikyan:SegmentedControl:1.2.0'
I think is the case because by build.gradle file doesn't search on GitHub for repos.
This is my build.gradle file:
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.72'
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.3'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Workaround 1:
You can host a project release into mavenCentral using github, it is located at:
https://github.com/{user}/{repository}/packages?package_type=Maven
And in order to pull packages from it, add new repository in your build.gradle:
mavenCentral()
Wordaround 2:
You can host your project's any branch or version at jitpack.io
and the great thing is that you don't need to setup anything it'll build your packages in their server and notify you. Your project will be located at:
https://jitpack.io/#{user}/{repository}
And in order to pull packages from it, add new repository in your build.gradle:
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }

we recived this error from my android studio when run my projects
we used online and offline mod but they not worked corectly
This error has confused me
The following code is related to wrapper
ext {

var1 = '3.5.2'
}// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {

This problem basically occurs when you are trying to load an old project. The best solution as of my knowledge is to download the links one by one, the project is showing and sync it. Check out the build Gradle files for any outdated dependencies.
Check out if you have
google()
repo in your project. Make sure you find this line in your dependencies.
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0'
}

I also had this problem on Linux (ubuntu)
I tried different ways but the problem still didn't work out.
Finally, I remove /home/(user)/.gradle directory and restart Android Studio and this error fixed.

Follow these steps:
Copy paste the below code into Project level build.gradle file:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.2'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
Clean your project from Build > Clean Project
Rebuild you project from Build > Rebuild Project
Make Project from Build > Make Project
Then, File > Invalidate Caches/Restart

Cannot resolve symbol 'services' import com.google.api.services;

I am trying to follow this sample for google-api-java-client for android app but in my andoid project it is not resolving the symbol services and drive. I downloaded the lib files of google-api-java-client and copied it to the apps lib folder.
Included following to app build.gradle
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-drive:15.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:15.0.1'
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:15.0.1"
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:15.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.apis:google-api-services-storage:v1-rev134-1.23.0'
and added the following to project build.gradle
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
maven {url "https://maven.google.com"}
jcenter()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.8'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
maven {url "https://maven.google.com"}
jcenter()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
but still I am getting the error that can not resolve the symbol.

com.google.appengine:appengine:+ vs com.google.cloud.tools:appengine-gradle-plugin:+

I am new to gradle concept. I'm doing gradle for app engine (I don't know maven or ant) and I gone through in [https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/tools/gradle] but I can't able to understand the difference between the:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.google.cloud.tools:appengine-gradle-plugin:+'
}
}
and:
repositories {
jcenter()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
providedCompile 'javax.servlet:servlet-api:2.5'
compile 'com.google.appengine:appengine:+'
}
I searched in the internet I can't able to understand? Can anyone explain this?

It may be confusing at the very beginning but is quite easy. With gradle you do manage the project but both gradle and the project that is managed can have their own dependencies. So, if you'd like e.g. use guava to compile your project files it will be:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.guava:guava:22.0'
}
but if you'd like to use guava in build.gradle file then the following piece of code is necessary:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.google.guava:guava:22.0'
}
}
So buildscript is used to configure build.gradle itself.
In the example provided buildscript block is used to configure dependency for plugin that is applied later on in build.gradle and the second block configures the dependencies for the project itself.
