Hopefully, this should solve your problem.

Do follow the following steps.

1. Clean your Project

Cleaning the project

2. Rebuild your project

Rebuilding the project

3. Finally Build and Run your project

Solution 6 - Android

First, as already mentioned, try cleaning and rebuilding the project. If that does not work for you, try this:

Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment: Un-check Enable Instant Run to hot swap code...

This solved the problem right away for me.

P.S. I posted this answer since it's 2017 and I don't think this feature existed in 2014, so it wouldn't cause this problem.

Solution 7 - Android

Please follow the below steps File > Settings > Build,Execution,Deployment > Instant Run > Un-check (Enable Instant Run to hot swap code)

this is working for me

Solution 8 - Android

This happened with me when I copied a project code from one laptop to another one and tried running the project. What fixed this for me was:

  1. Delete the project's build folder
  2. Clean Project
  3. Build project
  4. Run

Solution 9 - Android

In my case, I had the same issue when the name of my project contains a "&" sign.The solution is to rename the project name,from file browser, so it doesn't contain any "&" signs and then from:

  • Build menu-> Clean Project
  • Build menu-> Build APK

I've tested it two times and it worked just fine.

Solution 10 - Android

For me it's:

Click Build tab ---> Clean Project

Rebuild Project

Build APK

follow some steps:

Clean Project
Rebuild Project
Invalidate Caches / Restart

Now run your project. Hope it will work.

It's work for me.

Work for me:

  1. Delete these folders
  2. Run app

enter image description here

Solution 13 - Android

Try this in gradle project dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3' }

Solution 14 - Android

In my case , there was a single qutation ' in project directory and after removing it resolved

Solution 15 - Android

Delete the Intermediate folder after then run the project is working fine actually that APK builds to another system. Go to app/build/intermediates.

I found its work by restarting my phone :)

Solution 17 - Android

  1. Invalidate cache/restart
  2. Clean Project
  3. Rebuild Project
  4. Run your app / Build APK

These steps are enough to solve most of the problems related to Gradle build in any way. These steps helped me solve this problem too.

Solution 18 - Android

My issue was with my Android Studio install.

I am building out a new CI server and although I installed Android Studio and hooked up the SDK, etc., I did not open the studio with the project -- instead just went to the command line to build. When I subsequently opened the project in the studio, it started prompting for all sorts of updates. Followed the bouncing-ball and then I was able to reach my USB tethered device.

Hopefully, this is helpful for Build Master and DevOps as a "got-cha" to avoid.

Solution 19 - Android

None of the answers here worked, I had to:

  1. Close android studio
  2. rm -rf ./android/.idea
  3. Build -> Build Bundle/APK(s) -> Build APK(s)

Solution 20 - Android

The path may be invalid, if Android Studio is pointing to the wrong version of the file. This can happen if you make gradle automatically rename your built APK, using setProperty(), like:

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.company.app"
    versionName "1.2.0"
    // Rename the built apk file
    setProperty("archivesBaseName", "MyApp-$versionName")
    ...
}

Sometimes, an updated versionName is not properly "refreshed" to Android Studio, so it can point to an old versionName in the file name. In this case, just do a Gradle sync then Build, to ensure the versionName matches the built file path. Gradle sync is either:

  • Android Studio 4.x ➔ Toolbar at the far right ➔ Press the 'elephant + down arrow' icon, which has the tooltip "Sync Project with Gradle Files" ➔ Build ➔ Make Project

Android Studio toolbar - Button: Sync Project with Gradle Files

  • Android Studio 4.x ➔ Help ➔ Find Action ➔ search for "sync" ➔ "Sync Project with Gradle Files" ➔ Build ➔ Make Project

Solution 21 - Android

If none of those solutions work for you just close the Android Studio and open it. It worked for me on Mac.

Solution 22 - Android

Try cleaning the project and rebuild, if doesn't work try disabling the Instant Run from Settings>Build>Instant Run in case you are running someone else's code.
