Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.1-all.zip'

I am a greenhorn in gradle and i just tried to create a new Android Gradle Project in IntelliJ. After filling up the necessities it started to download something which took hours so i decided to force quit my IDE and open the project again.

And now I am getting this:

And when I open the IDE logs, I see this:

INFO: Running on Mac Yosemite with Gradle 2.2 and IntelliJ IDEA 14 Ultimate.

It could be that the gradle-2.1 distribution specified by the wrapper was not downloaded properly. This was the root cause of the same problem in my environment.

Look into this directory:

ls -l ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists/

In there you should find a gradle-2.1 folder. Delete it like so:

rm -rf ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-2.1-bin/

Restart IntelliJ, after that it will restart the download from the beginning and hopefully work.

If you are on Windows, you can go to:

> C:\Users\{your_name}\.gradle

And delete all the references of the gradle package you can find in those folders:

1. caches
2. daemon
3. wrapper

Then re-open your project and sync gradle

1 Close Android Studio (AS)

2 Delete the folder in C:\Users.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-2.1-all

3 Run AS as admin

4 Sync your project files

First check your Internet conection..

or try with

Tools -> Android -> Sync

or Try

File -> Settings -> Gradle -> Check Offline Work

I had the same problem. (My problem is with gradle 4.4 files)

Actually the problem is incorrect downloading of 4.4 gradle which already I had. When I delete gradle 4.4 version C:\Users\$Your_User\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-4.4-all

Android studio again downloads gradle-4.4 and syncs with my project.

Now it had rectified with the help of Michelin Man

Thanks for your answer Michelin

you should also check if you are connecting via proxy. If there is a proxy set it up using File > Settings > Appearance and Behavior > System settings > HTTP Proxy

I cannot believe the below solution, but it did solve it. in gradle-wrapper.properties file: change

distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1.1-all.zip

to

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1.1-all.zip

If all above solutions is not working and In case of your project was working fine and now getting this issue, then try this,

• go to android studio setting.
• select gradle under build,execution.
• then again just set path of gradle user home (C:/Users/%user_name%/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-6.5-bin)
• just rebuild again, this helps me.

It could be that the corresponding Gradle version was not downloaded properly.

You could delete the broken file at

rm -rf .gradle/wrapper/dists/

and restart studio.

or try

File -> Settings -> Gradle -> Check Offline Work

and download the file from the official site and extract to the destination location

.gradle/wrapper/dists/

https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.1-all.zip

open this link in the browser and download the zip file and extract it to folder

Before extraction please delete the old folder whose name ends gradle-2.1-all and then you can start extracting

if you are window user extract it to this folder

C:\Users{Your-Name}.gradle\wrapper\dists

after that just restart your android studio. I hope it works it works for me .

In Android Studio, if you open the Design window for the app, there is error message about Gradle being not synched properly. Next to the error, there is a 'Try Again' button. If you click on that, Android studio tries to sycn up again.

That worked for me.

In my case I had to go to

File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Gradle

and then I changed the Service directory path, which was pointing to a wrong location.

1. Delete .gradle data
2. CtrlAltS then navigate to File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler then check "Sync project with gradle before building, if needed".

My problem was fixed with this method.

For me, it was just close the android studio and restart as Administrator.

Change the distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.1-bin.zip from the Your project folder\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to new one.

In my case, the problem was that I was not connected to the same VPN with which I installed Android Studio, I do not know why it happens, but even if I have internet access, if I am not connected to the original VPN, the downloads from IDE do not work correctly.

I connected the VPN, I did the gradle again and finally it started to download and install everything correctly. I also checked that I didn't go through any proxy or anything similar in my Android configuration.

One more reason for this error (assuming that gradle properly setup) is incompatibility between andorid.gradle tools and gradle itself - check out this answer for the complete compatibility table.

In my case the error was the same as in the question and the stacktrace as following:

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at java.util.Objects.requireNonNull(Objects.java:203)
	at com.android.build.gradle.BasePlugin.lambda$configureProject$1(BasePlugin.java:436)

	at org.gradle.internal.dispatch.ReflectionDispatch.dispatch(ReflectionDispatch.java:24)
	at org.gradle.internal.event.AbstractBroadcastDispatch.dispatch(AbstractBroadcastDispatch.java:42)
    ...

I've fixed that by upgrading com.android.tools.build:gradle to the current latest 3.1.4

buildscript {
    repositories {
        ...
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4'
    }
}

Gradle version is 4.6

I was facing the same problem in IntelliJ. It was working from command line though.

I found the issue was because of an improper Gradle config in the IDE. I wasn't using the "default Gradle wrapper" as recommended:

On MAC Remove gradle-2.1-all folder from the following path /Users/amitsapra/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-2.1-all and then try gradle build again. I faced same issues with 5.4.1-all.

It takes a little time but fixes everything

For me, the reason is that the gradle.zip IDE downloaded is broken (I cannot uncompress it manually), and following steps help.

1. gradle sync, and it says could not install from ${link}, ${gralde.zip} ...
2. download from ${link} manually
3. go to the ${gradle.zip}'s location
4. replace the ${gradle.zip} with the one downloaded, remove the .lck file on the same path.
5. gradle sync.

Note:

• ${link} is something like https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.6-all.zip
• ${gradle.zip} looks like ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-${version}-all/${a-serial-string}/gradle-${version}-all.zip

I have also recieved this issue inside of InteliJ.

Go to the gradle/wrapper folder and modify distributionUrl inside of gradle-wrapper.properties to a correct version.

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-bin.zip
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists

It also disturb me a lot but now it is fine The solution is very simple (written blow) [window (android studio)]

1. go to C:\Users\your user name.gradle

2. open wrapper/dists and delete the folder that is distrubing you in my case --gradle-6.5--

3. then go back to .gradle folder and this time open daemon folder and delete the folder with same number that is disturbing you in my case --6.5--

4. Then again go back to .gradle folder and this time open caches folder and delete the folder with same number that is disturbing you in my case --6.5--

5. now if your android studio is open then close it and again start it but this time with administrator mode by right clicking on the icon of android studio icon it is important

6. you should have internet connection and now your android studio will setup every thing by its own (please don't distrub it while it is doing its operation)

I solve it by downloading zip file from https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.1-all.zip manually, put it inside C:\Users\<username>\.gradle, and sync.

(Only for Mac Users) download the gradle file from the link and then close the project then at the front page ,under the creat project option there is option called Import project(Gradle,Eclipse ADT,etc) here you have to select the gradle file which you have downloded earlier . Then restart the Android studio .....hope your problem is solved now

In my case I solved the problem with

1. Ctrl + Shift+ F

2. Type 2.1 or just type the version of the gradle that can't be installed

3. replace the version of gradle with the correct one in the gradle-Wrapper.properties File in my case I replaced it with 6.1.1

Guys In my case the gradle is not properly install thats why this issue is happan with me.

Resolution:

1. Go to User Directory

2. Then Go to .gradle\wrapper\dists

3. Remove the folder which you are facing error

4. Invalidate cache and restart your android studio

1. Download directly from Gradle: https://services.gradle.org/distributions/ Choose the relative version, pay attention to the name behind the version
2. Open the folder as shown enter image description here You can delete the contents in the wrapper folder before, replace it with the Gradle file you just downloaded, and unzip it. After unzipping, you can delete the compressed file.
3. Open Gradle settings. Modify the path problem, and then synchronize it. There should be no problem

Here is what worked for me on windows 10.

Close my project. Close Android Studio. Run Android Studio. Open project.

Android studio takes a few minutes while everything sorts itself out.

I thought that maybe Android Studio just needed sufficient rights to extract and put the files in all the right locations and possibly set the path variables.

Add username and password in distributionUrl:

distributionUrl = https://username:[email protected]/vdca-mobile-maven/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip

Note: no need to encoded base64 for either username or password.

TL:DR

I encountered the issue when I tried to download gradle in android studio from our custom maven artifactory.

It forbids 'anonymous' access of artifacts in Artifactory

> This initiative aims to disable 'anonymous' access of artifacts in > Artifactory and enforces users to authenticate to read any artifact > from Artifactory. This is done for obvious security reasons and to > create an audit trail for artifacts accessed.

I can verify it when I open logs of Android Studio idea.log (Help -> Show log in Finder)

BTW, this way below does not work for me

Using system properties can be done in the .gradle/gradle.properties file in the user’s home directory

Specifying the HTTP Basic Authentication credentials using system properties

systemProp.gradle.wrapperUser=username
systemProp.gradle.wrapperPassword=password

Reference: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html

For the peeps that are using Ionic/Cordova, remove node_modules, platforms, and plugins folders

rm -rf node_modules platforms plugins

Re-install everything

npm i && ionic cordova platform add android

After that open platforms/android/project.properties file

It was like this for me

target=android-29
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
android.library.reference.2=app
cordova.system.library.1=com.android.billingclient:billing:3.0.0

Build your project

ionic cordova build android

And all should work then.

1. Go to the project gradle folder --> gradle-wrapper.properties

2. change the distributionUrl to another(you can found this in your .gradle\wrapper\dists folder)

3. Click Sync now

Try to remove the wrapper, daemon and caches files in C:\Users\{userName}\.gradle and the in your Android Studio select the option File/Invalidate caches and restart And that's all!!! It worked for me!!

I download from the link and locate the gradle to specified location in dowloaded gradle folder

Hope it help :)

Method 1:-

go to:

C:\Users{your_user_name}.gradle

And go to each folder and check that your gradle(gradle-x.x-all)

which mentioned in the error exists, delete all the references Gradle package from all folders.

Then open Android Studio as "Run As Admin"

Method 2:-

go to error message link and download mentioned gradle : https://downloads.gradle-dn.com/distributions/gradle-x.x.x-bin.zip

after that extract in .gradle\wrapper\dists and open Android studio again but as "Run As Admin"**

I dont know if it will help anyone else, But after working through each answer and none of them working a full re install of android studio did the trick for me.
