I have same problem with Android Studio 3.0 beta 4. I found a solution.
1. From the Build menu, press the Clean Project button.
2. After task completed, press the Rebuild Project button from the Build menu.


For Android Studio 3.0 what I did was to add this to my gradle:
multiDexEnabled true
And it worked!
Example
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.xx.xxx"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 24
versionCode 9
versionName "1.0"
multiDexEnabled true //Add this
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
shrinkResources true
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}


So I solved this issue by doing the following:
Delete the ./gradle folder inside your project
Delete all the build folders and the gradle cache. I ran the following command:
How ?
cd ~/[your project root folder] && find . -name build -exec rm -rf {} \; && rm -rf $HOME/.gradle/caches/
Assuming your gradle config files are in the $HOME/.gradle folder.
Inside Android Studio, went to File > Invalidate caches / Restart... and invalidated the caches and restarted it.


You should be able to get to the cause of this error by inspecting your dependencies with gradle and looking for duplicates like this:
./gradlew -q app:dependencies
In my case, the following error was happening at build time:
Duplicate zip entry [httpcore-4.4.1.jar
and it was resolved by doing this in my build.gradle:
implementation ('me.dlkanth:stetho-volley:1.0') {
exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents'
}


If your minSdkVersion is 21 or higher
android {
defaultConfig {
multiDexEnabled true
}
}
if your minSdkVersion is 20 or lower
1) you must add the following library in dependencies
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
}
2) Create a java class then extend it from Application and override attachBaseContext method.
public class MyApplication extends Application {
#Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
super.attachBaseContext(base);
MultiDex.install(this);
}
}
3) Mention the created class inside manifest in application tag.
<application
android:name=".MyApplication"
.
.
.
</application>


Check your dependencies for latest version usually it is inconsistency with the version of any of your dependencies.
1.Build > Clean Project
2. Rebuild your project
Check the verbose log for the dependency causing the merge issue and update the same. Repeat the same for each dependencies.


I faced same issue in Android Studio 3.0.1, I tried all possible cases nothing worked for me as mentioned above, finally I solved it by
Solution1:
Close Android Studio
Delete .gradle folder located at C:\Users\YourComputerName\.gradle not from app's .gradle
Restart android studio
It will download all the necessary jars and add to your build path
Solution2:
Delete duplicate jar from libs folder in app/libs
Rerun the app again
Because if there is duplicate jar file which already defined in build.gradle file it causes issue.
This solved the issue for me. It may help others..


This error can have multiple reasons.
No clean and rebuild or anythging like that did the job for me.
For me the problem was the dependency:
compile 'org.jetbrains:annotations-java5:15.0'
I removed it and everything worked fine.


Change "compile" to "compileOnly"
this is what worked for me.


In my case the culprit was SendGrid lib, added this and it got fixed:
compile 'com.github.danysantiago:sendgrid-android:1',{
exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'
}


I am using Studio 3.0.0 release. In my case there was the only solution: I have removed old JARs from the "libs" folder in my project: it was "ksoap2" package with dependencies. Packages obtained with gradle usually do not conflict with each other, at least if you are using the most popular ones. But an old JAR in libs folder may crush your build if it includes all own dependencies.


I have tried other comments from removing gradle and bla bla bla, but adding multiDexEnabled true solving my problem, I investigate that my apk has reached Over 64K Method.
Ref: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex.html)


I am using
Android Studio 3.0.1
Build #AI-171.4443003, built on November 9, 2017
I delete jar file from libs folder. And that work fine for me


I am using Android Studio 3.0.1 and was facing the same problem. If others answer doesn't works try this:
Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files
It worked for me Sync Project with Gradle Files


Sometime it can happens due to same library (jar file) present two times or your project has reached 64k methods limit.
Solution:
1) Remove Databinding if your project use this
2) Remove same type library from lib folder or, delete .gradle file from c//user//your_pc//.gradle
3) apply this in your build.gradle
android {
defaultConfig {
multiDexEnabled true
}
}

Updated Answer (Dec. 2, 2020)
Latest Gradle: 6.5
Version check:
./gradlew -v
How to update:
Set URL: ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=6.5 --distribution-type=all
Update: ./gradlew wrapper
Latest Android Gradle Plugin: 4.1.0
If you add the following code snippet to the top of your build.gradle file. Gradle will update the build tools.
buildscript {
repositories {
google() // For Gradle 4.0+
maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' } // For Gradle < 4.0
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0'
}
}
Read more here: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/index.html and about version compatibility here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin.html#updating-gradle and https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/index.html.
Original Answer
I had this same error, you need to make sure your Gradle version is compatible with your Android Gradle Plugin.
The latest version of Gradle is 2.0 but you need to use 1.12 in order to use the Android Gradle Plugin.

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()
}
}

In my case, I download the project from GitHub and the Gradle file was missing. So I just create a new project with success build. Then copy-paste the Gradle missing file. And re-build the project is working for me.

Root-gradle file:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:x.x.x'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
Gradle-wrapper.properties file:
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-x.x-all.zip

In the project level build.gradle file, I have replaced this line
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.3'
with this one
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3'
After adding both of those lines, and syncing, everything became fine.
Hope this will help someone.

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 :)

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!

I still got the error
Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0.
Problem: jcenter() did not have the required libs
Solution: add google() as repo
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0"
}
}

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.

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.

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.

This issue happened when I accidently renamed the line
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
on file app/build.gradle to some other name. So, I fixed it by changing it to what it was.

[FOR FLUTTER] go to your build Gradle then check if you have three paths
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.2'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
}
I somehow removed the android tools classpath and was getting the error.

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.

If you run a the module task with android plugin 1.2.3 in module directory , the problem appears. Try this:
../gradlew -b ../build.gradle -c ../settings.gradle :module:xxx

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.

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.

Check the spelling, mine was 'com.android.aplication'

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.

i had similar problem and i did following things to resolve it.
i referred to https://developer.android.com/studio/build
and copy / pasted these following lines before apply plugin lines
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.0'
}
}

module app build.gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
model{
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
defaultConfig.with {
applicationId "com.iamsafe"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
}
buildTypes {
debug {
minifyEnabled = false
useProguard = true
proguardFiles.add(file('proguard-rules.txt'))
}
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.2'
compile files('libs/asmack-android-8-0.8.10.jar')
compile files('libs/commons-io-2.0.1.jar')
compile files('libs/httpclient-osgi-4.2.1-sources.jar')
compile files('libs/httpcore-4.3.2.jar')
compile files('libs/httpmime-4.1.2.jar')
}
project build.gradle
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.10'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}

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

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

Just make sure you put the http and https proxy correctly when you create the app

Importing project from eclipse to android studio (unresolved resources)

}
Any help or clues would be much appreciated, thank you.

Import eclipse project in to android studio project .you can try this one
n newer versions of Android Studio, the best way to bring in an Eclipse/ADT project is to import it directly into Android Studio; we used to recommend you export it from Eclipse to Gradle first, but we haven't been updating ADT often enough to keep pace with Android Studio.
enter link description here
In any event, if you choose "Import Project" from the File menu or from the Welcome screen when you launch Android Studio, it should take you through a specialized wizard that will prompt you that it intends to copy the files into a new directory structure instead of importing them in-place, and it will offer to fix up some common things like converting dependencies into Maven-style includes and such.
It doesn't seem like you're getting this specialized flow. I think it may not be recognizing your imported project as an ADT project, and it's defaulting to the old built-into-IntelliJ behavior which doesn't know about Gradle. To get the specialized import working, the following must be true:
The root directory of the project you import must have an AndroidManifest.xml file.
Either:
The root directory must contain the .project and .classpath files from Eclipse
or
The root directoy must contain res and src directories.
If your project is complex, perhaps you're not pointing it as the root directory it wants to see for the import to succeed.

android studio execution failed for task- process exception for idk-1.8

I can't seem to fix this error after I add a jar file to the project:
Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'.

The program runs without the jar file but when I add it, everything builds but it gives me this error when I try to run it. I have searched and tried the following solutions but nothing fixed the error.
why java.exe exit with value 1 in android studio
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'. > comcommand finished with non-zero exit value 2

Since none of these solutions worked I thought it my be a over 65k method problem so I edited my build.gradle but the problem still exists.

}
I don't know how to fix this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

I had this error message (also only when running not building) when attempting to add a plain Java module as a dependency on an Android module. Though it only happened in Android Studio, not from the command line.
I solved it by including the following line in the plain Java module's build.gradle:
sourceCompatibility = 1.7
Note that Android Studio marks this line as not used.

Try clicking on File > Invalidate caches / Restart > Invalidate and Restart. Once it builds, run your project again. It worked for me.

I guess this has to do with the number of libraries you are including in your project. Although I am not certain this will help you could put this in your gradle file:
defaultConfig {
...
multiDexEnabled true
}
But even with that I got this error after adding another library. I was lucky that one lib was not crucial for the app, it was a library for catching memory leaks, so I removed it and then it compiled. As I am not an expert here maybe someone can add something to this topic? I will try to find out more about this 65k limit and how to overcome it and will get back to this.

I resolved this error by switching the JDK location of my android studio project. Just right click on the project root directory select Open Module Settings, under the sdk location option, browse the JDK location to a different one if you have 2 or more installation as in my case there were:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_51.jdk/Contents/Home
and
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_65.jdk/Contents/Home

For me, I open SDK Manager, and update all the package that could be updated, and restart my MacBook, then it works.
I am wondering if it relevant with my updated OSX, coz I updated it to 10.10.4 yesterday, my project was good but crashed after, anyway, try to update all the things you could do, even re-install java.
Good luck!

The error comes from you running a Java 8 SDK instead of a Java 7 SDK (which at the time of this writing seems to be required for Android Studio).
I installed Java 7 from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html and pointed Android Studio to use the Java 7 JDK by going to File > Other Settings > Default Project Structure... (Android Studio 1.3)
Now everything works just fine!

Gradle project refresh error : (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)

I'm trying to build my first android app using Android Studio. Unfortunately, every time I open my project, try to run it or gradle assemble it I get the following error :
Gradle 'MalipoBatteryAlarm' project refresh failed:
C:\Users\wickedQuasar\.gradle\daemon\1.10\daemon-6128.out.log
(The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
What file or directory is causing the problem is unclear. I used to overcome this error by rebuilding my project, changing access rights to username.gradle folder or switching b/w using default and customizable gradle wrappers. From last two days nothing seems to fix it and I'm totally stuck. I've also tried this : Gradle: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect but it didn't fix it.
I've wasted tens of productive hours of my life trying to fix it so any help would be appreciated. From my research I found that this error is usually caused by "unnacceptable characters" in file names. i can't seem to find the cause in my case though.
I'm using a 32bit win 7 machine with Android Studio 0.5.5. My java env variables are set properly.
