Gradle Issues in Android Studio

There's a Java file I'm meant to convert to Kotlin. I'm stuck with this Gradle problem and can't find my way around it. What can I do to resolve this issue?

Go to build.gradle(Module)
and inside dependencies add the following line.
classpath 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.10'
It should look something like this
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-beta6'
classpath 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.10'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}

A problem occurred configuring root project 'DaggerTest'. > Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration ':classpath'

After a while, I opened Android Studio and created a project called 'DaggerTest'. Unfortunately, when my Gradle is getting built, I face this error
A problem occurred configuring root project 'DaggerTest'.

Possible solution:
- Declare repository providing the artifact, see the documentation at https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_repositories.html
Here are the things that I have done and they did not work:
I allowed Android Studio(studio.exe, studio64.exe) and all java executable files in the windows firewall
I have disabled the windows firewall and it did not work.
I have tried some proxies in Android Studio HTTP proxy settings
I have changed my build Gradle file from this:
buildscript {
repositories {
google() // <-- here
jcenter()
maven {
url 'https://maven.google.com/'
name 'Google'
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.0-beta03'
// 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
}
To this:
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.0-beta03'
// 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
}

Build Failing: org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException

I recently added Kotlin to my Java project, my build started failing, and I am getting this message:
"only buildscript {} and other plugins {} script blocks are allowed before plugins {} blocks, no other statements are allowed" and this "Caused by: org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:"
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I have my jdk set as 1.8 (as you see below), so the existing answer to this question does not seem to apply.
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility '1.8'
targetCompatibility '1.8'
}
As for the brackets, here's my project build.gradle file where it's referencing.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
maven { url 'https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/'}
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.3'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3'
classpath 'gradle.plugin.com.onesignal:onesignal-gradle-plugin:0.12.5'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
plugins {
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm' version '1.3.70'
}

I guess I'm at the bleary eyed stage of the day. I moved it before allprojects and it worked. This was helpful:
only build script and other plugins script blocks are allowed before plugins

ERROR: Gradle DSL method not found: 'compile()'

I'm trying to use yelp-fusion-android library. I tried updating the gradle but no luck.
I am getting this error:
ERROR: Gradle DSL method not found: 'compile()'
Possible causes:
The project 'testProject' may be using a version of Gradle that does not contain the method.
Open Gradle wrapper file
The build file may be missing a Gradle plugin.
Apply Gradle plugin
Here is build.gradle:
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.1'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.2'
compile 'io.github.ranga543:yelp-fusion-client:0.1.4'
// 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
}

Remove this line from the top-level file:
//compile 'io.github.ranga543:yelp-fusion-client:0.1.4'
In the app/build.gradle file you can add the same dependency:
dependencies {
...
implementation 'io.github.ranga543:yelp-fusion-client:0.1.5'
...
}

Your problem is here
compile 'io.github.ranga543:yelp-fusion-client:0.1.4'
Compile is deprecated use "Implementation" instead
and you are placing it in the wrong gradle there are 2 gradle files
please note this warning
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files

Place below dependency in app module instead of main project gradle.
compile 'io.github.ranga543:yelp-fusion-client:0.1.4'
and replace compile with Implementation.
e.g (In app module)
Implementation 'io.github.ranga543:yelp-fusion-client:0.1.4'

dependencies section inside buildscript is not for module dependencies. Hence. move out compile 'io.github.ranga543:yelp-fusion-client:0.1.4' from this section and create top level dependencies block and put it there as below:
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.1'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.2'
// 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
}
dependencies {
compile 'io.github.ranga543:yelp-fusion-client:0.1.4'
}
Also, if you have got submodule then you can add this dependency to the sub-module.

Android studio error:Error:(23, 0) Could not find method android() for arguments on root project

I reinstalled android studio, I am using the same project with android studio in another PC so the code is probably fine!
It is the full error:
Error:(23, 0) Could not find method android() for arguments [build_1z9k6ruj47plglocgqknjnoag$_run_closure3#133cf914] on root project 'allthingsvegan-android-9d296805dc64' of type org.gradle.api.Project.
Open File
The solutions I've found on the internet was including changing the code.. So they are not relevant to me
Thanks!!
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:2.2.0-beta1'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
android {
buildToolsVersion '24.0.1'
}

It is the top-level build.gradle file.
In this file you can't use this block:
android {
buildToolsVersion '24.0.1'
}
Remove this block.

you need to apply the android plugin:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
this needs to be done after buildscript like this:
// 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:2.2.0-beta1'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
buildToolsVersion '24.0.1'
}

uncomment android tag present in build.gradle(Project:android-start)
rebuild the gradle it asks to update .
Update the gradle then sync it works
