Could not find build gradle 3.0.1

Any clarification on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
I know this has been answered many times but my current issue is that I don't know where or in what file (s) to add this to:
buildscript {
repositories {
...
google() // <-- add this
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
}
}
And this:
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
}
}
Or if that even solves my issue, since I haven't tested it yet.
My initial problem:
The issue seemed to appear after updating both gradle and Android studio.
I'm currently working on a project using libGDX to make an Android app called CastleCrush. When I try to launch a desktop application to test it, it won't launch, and I get this error:
Error:Gradle: A problem occurred configuring root project
'CastleCrush'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':classpath'.
> Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1.

When launching with a virtual Android device it launches just fine.
I'm not working on this project alone and collaboration is done via Git, if that makes any difference. None of the other project members seem to have this issue.

You add this to your Project build.gradle file. its the gradle file that is called build.gradle(Project: your project name). It is usually the first one if you are in the Android project view

Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1.
Gradle trying to find Android Gradle plugin version 3.0.1 artifact from your local maven repo (inside your computer) and from your listed three remote repository (maven2, oss.sonatype and jcenter).
But not succeeded because given artifact is not available on those repository.
Artifact com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1 is available on google repository.
Find build.gradle file inside your libgdx project and add google maven repo inside allprojects tag
repositories {
mavenLocal()
mavenCentral()
maven { // <-- Add this
url 'https://maven.google.com/'
name 'Google'
}
}
If you're using Android Studio 3.0 or latter version
repositories {
mavenLocal()
mavenCentral()
google() //---> Add this
}
Make sure you're proper internet connection.
Cross-check that, you've not ticked offline work in Global gradle settings.
Before proceeding further take a look on LibGdx doesn't working after updating Gradle (Android Studio 3.0)

gradle project sync failed even after upgrading gradle plugin

Gradle project sync failed and did not get answers from other related questions. Here are the details of my situation.
Initial sync attempt yielded the following error message:
Unsupported method: BaseConfig.getApplicationIdSuffix().
The version of Gradle you connect to does not support that method.
To resolve the problem you can change/upgrade the target version of Gradle you connect to.
Alternatively, you can ignore this exception and read other information from the model.
I have Android Studio 3.0. The build.gradle file includes the following dependency:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle-experimental:0.2.1'
The gradle-wrapper.properties file includes the following distribution URL:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.5-all.zip
According to https://developer.android.com/studio/build/gradle-plugin-3-0-0-migration.html#update_gradle I need to make some changes.
First, update the Gradle version for Android Studio 3.0 in gradle-wrapper.properties:
distributionUrl=\
  https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip
(I believe the backslash right after the equal sign is an error and did not make that change.)
Second, add the following buildscript repository to build.gradle:
google()
Third, change the build.gradle dependency:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
The second and third changes apply the latest version of the Android plug-in.
When I try to sync after these changes it fails again with the following new error:
Plugin with id 'com.android.model.application' not found.
The error refers to the first line of build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.model.application'
What is happening and why? I recently added NDK to Android Studio. The project I'm trying to sync includes C code. I'm not completely certain I added NDK correctly. I wonder if that could be part of the problem.

First, the gradle-wrapper.properties is incorrect. You must include \ in it. It should be something like this:
#Sat Jun 17 17:47:18 CEST 2017
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip
Then, add the experimental classpath to project build.gradle. Something like this:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle-experimental:0.7.0-alpha4"
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
Check the Experimental Plugin User Guide for details.

Go to your build.gradle version or update it
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
}

You should change you dependencies classpath
All steps are here :
Open build.gradle and change the gradle version to the recommended version:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0' to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.2'
Hit 'Try Again'
In the messages box it'll say 'Fix Gradle Wrapper and re-import project' Click that, since the minimum gradle version is 3.3
A new error will popup and say The SDK Build Tools revision (23.0.1) is too low for project ':app'. Minimum required is 25.0.0 - Hit Update Build Tools version and sync project
A window may popup that says Android Gradle Plugin Update recommended, just update from there.
Now the project should be runnable now on any of your android virtual devices.

Make sure your Gradle version is compatible with your Android Gradle Plugin.

Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2

A friend of mine copy pasted a libgdx project folder on his pc and sent the project to me(through google drive). We are both using Android Studio. I downloaded and imported the project and it is working properly on the emulator. However it is not working on the desktop. On his pc, it works both in desktop and in the emulator.
When I try to run it in the desktop, Android Studio gives me this error message:
Error:Gradle: A problem occurred configuring root project 'bouncerGDX - Copy'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'.
> Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2.

How can I fix this? I have no experience with Gradle.

UPD:
It seems can't resolve com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2 dependency for the classpath.
For me, adding the jcenter to build.gradle resolves the issue:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenLocal()
mavenCentral()
jcenter()
}
or, alternatively, the line in build.gradle
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2'
can be changed to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'
^^^ this version exist in repo1.maven.org
WRONG SUGGESTION:
Resolve all dependencies by running gradle task (can be done from Android Studio's terminal):
For Linux:
./gradlew buildDependents
For Windows:
gradlew.bat buildDependents
Also, this commands might also help later
Linux:
./gradlew cleanIdea idea
Windows:
gradlew.bat cleanIdea idea

I was getting the same issue after updating Android Studio 2.2.2 to 2.3.1
Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2.
Solution:
Open the gradle location and make changes in build.gradle accordingly(module and project both)
I replaced
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2'
with
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.1'
And gradle build successfully :-)
gradle location

buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
}
}
add google() below jcenter(),this works for me

Seems like you hav dependency on the library project bouncerGDX
You can open build.gradle of that project and change gradle version which is available with you. e.g.
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'

My fix for the same error was to configure Android Studio for the proxy I'm stuck behind.
Android Studio + Gradle did not assume system proxy settings, at least not on my copy of macOS. Set your proxy settings in Preferences > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > HTTP Proxy, save them and restart Android Studio. It then prompted me to set Gradle's proxy settings to match Android Studio's. Once I did this, no more error.

Adding the maven url solved the issue for me.
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {
url 'https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/'
}
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2'
}
}

[Solution For Android 2.3.1 built in 2017 April]
In gradle.build(Project)
Add missing repositories
mavenLocal() and jcenter()
To
buildscript { repositories { }}
Notice there are TWO gradle.build files!! Pick the right one.

In my case I was updating Gradle as Android Studio recommended
Solution:
When you import the project make sure not to update Gradle (click "Don't remind me again for this project") and it should work.

Note: Use latest gradle version.

How to setup this gradle dependency?

In a crosswalk project I have the following dependency:
repositories {
maven {
url 'https://download.01.org/crosswalk/releases/crosswalk/android/maven2'
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.xwalk:xwalk_core_library:10.39.235.15'
}
This works, however I need version 13 which not available through the method above. I need to include:
https://download.01.org/crosswalk/releases/crosswalk/android/canary/13.41.313.0/crosswalk-13.41.313.0.aar
How would I set this up without downloading it locally first?

As suggested on this SO post, it's not supported so you have 2 options:
Write a gradle task that downloads it to a local lib directory
Manually add it to a maven repo that you have control of, and then depend on it as you would any other maven dependency.

Android Studio doesn't find com.android.support:support-v4:19.1.0

I have imported one project into Android Studio but I got the error:
Could not find com.android.support:support-v4:19.1.0.
Where could I find this file? I have imported the project using Gradle.
I have the Android Studio version 0.5.7 the last android sdk and java 1.7u55.

Just add this code to you build.gradle file
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.+'
}
and press Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files
Gradle will download necessary files by himself

It does not work for me either. It works with 19.0.1
But if (I use gradle) I do this in my build.gradle:
repositories {
def androidHome = System.getenv("ANDROID_HOME")
mavenCentral()
maven {
url "$androidHome/extras/android/m2repository/"
}
}
It finds the artifact.

From the SDK Manager, delete and re-install the Android Support Library 19.1 package.

I had this same problem with morning. I found the Jar file that I needed in /<MySdkFolder>/extras/android/support/ - in there are some sub folders with the different support libraries in them, so the last part of the path depends on which one that you want to use.
I just copied this into the lib folder of the project. I'm sure there is a more technical solution but it worked for me.

Following theory works at me:
Android Studio has problems importing support-v4:19.1.+ library when it comes through a transitive dependency.
Solution Adding support-v4 as own dependency and exclude this lib where it comes transitive. then i could not more see this import issue

Right clicking on the library and select the import as library option from the context menu works for me.

Try to go
Project Structure -> Dependencies -> Add : then select -> File
dependecies
then select the proper library

This artifact is available on google maven repository. So need to add following in the build.gradle:
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenLocal()
google()
}
}

I had a similar problem. This line to build.gradle works -->
implementation 'com.android.support:support v4:28.0.0'
