Configuration with name 'default' not found gradle sync failed [duplicate]

I have an Android Studio app. It has a library dependency (Android-Bootstrap), when I try to sync gradle, it gives me an error:
Configuration with name 'default' not found.
My structure is:
-FTPBackup
-fotobackup
-build.gradle
-Libraries
-Android-Bootstrap
-Settings.gradle
-build.gradle
-Settings.gradle
-Build.gradle
The FTPBackup settings.gradle and build.gradle:
include ':fotobackup'
include ':libraries:Android-Bootstrap',':Android-Bootstrap'
// 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:0.9.+'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
}
And the build.gradle inside fotobackup is:
apply plugin: 'android'
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion '19.0.3'
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 19
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:+'
compile project (':libraries:Android-Bootstrap')
}
The library is downloaded from https://github.com/Bearded-Hen/Android-Bootstrap and it has build.gradle, settings etc.
whats wrong?

For one, it doesn't do good to have more than one settings.gradle file -- it only looks at the top-level one.
When you get this "Configuration with name 'default' not found" error, it's really confusing, but what it means is that Gradle is looking for a module (or a build.gradle) file someplace, and it's not finding it. In your case, you have this in your settings.gradle file:
include ':libraries:Android-Bootstrap',':Android-Bootstrap'
which is making Gradle look for a library at FTPBackup/libraries/Android-Bootstrap. If you're on a case-sensitive filesystem (and you haven't mistyped Libraries in your question when you meant libraries), it may not find FTPBackup/Libraries/Android-Bootstrap because of the case difference. It's also looking for another library at FTPBackup/Android-Bootstrap, and it's definitely not going to find one because that directory isn't there.
This should work:
include ':Libraries:Android-Bootstrap'
You need the same case-sensitive spec in your dependencies block:
compile project (':Libraries:Android-Bootstrap')

compile fileTree(dir: 'libraries', include: ['Android-Bootstrap'])
Use above line in your app's gradle file instead of
compile project (':libraries:Android-Bootstrap')

In my setting.gradle, I included a module that does not exist. Once I removed it, it started working. This could be another way to fix this issue

If you're getting this error with react native, it may be due to a link to an NPM package that you removed (as it was in my case). After removing references to it in the settings.gradle and build.gradle files, I cleaned and rebuilt and it's as good as new :)

Just a note on this question:
I had this exact error in my React Native app when trying to build to android. All you should have to do is $ npm i.

Case matters
I manually added a submodule :k3b-geohelper
to the
settings.gradle file
include ':app', ':k3b-geohelper'
and everthing works fine on my mswindows build system
When i pushed the update to github the fdroid build system failed with
Cannot evaluate module k3b-geohelper : Configuration with name 'default' not found
The final solution was that the submodule folder was named k3b-geoHelper not k3b-geohelper.
Under MSWindows case doesn-t matter but on linux system it does

I had this issue with Jenkins. The cause: I had renamed a module module to Module. I found out that git had gotten confused somehow and kept both module and Module directories, with the contents spread between both folders. The build.gradle was kept in module but the module's name was Module so it was unable to find the default configuration.
I fixed it by backing up the contents of Module, manually deleting module folder from the repo and restoring + pushing the lost files.

The message is a known Gradle bug. The reason of your error is that some of your gradle.build files has no apply plugin: 'java' in it. And due to the bug Gradle doesn't say you, where is the problem.
But you can easily overcome it. Simply put apply plugin: 'java' in every your 'gradle.build'

I also faced the same problem and the problem was that the libraries were missing in some of the following files.
settings.gradle, app/build.gradle, package.json, MainApplication.java
Suppose the library is react-native-vector-icons then it should be mentioned in following files;
In app/build.gradle file under dependencies section add:
compile project(':react-native-vector-icons')
In settings.gradle file under android folder, add the following:
include ':react-native-vector-icons' project(':react-native-vector-icons').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/android')
In MainApplication.java, add the following:
Import the dependency: import com.oblador.vectoricons.VectorIconsPackage;
and then add: new VectorIconsPackage() in getPackages() method.

I am facing same problem, I was fixed it by generating gradle project and then adding lib project to android studio
First, See build.gradle file is present in project root directory
if not then, Create gradle project,
export your required lib project from eclipse then (File->Export->Android->generate Gradle build file
Click on Next->Next->Select your lib project from project listing->Next->Next->Finish
See build.gradle file present in your project root directory
Move this project to Android Studio

Your module name must be camelCase eg. pdfLib. I had same issue because I my module name was 'PdfLib' and after renaming it to 'pdfLib'. It worked.
The issue was not in my device but in jenkins server. So, check and see if you have such modulenames

Step.1
$ git submodule update
Step.2
To be commented out the dependences of classpass

You are better off running the command in the console to get a better idea on what is wrong with the settings. In my case, when I ran gradlew check it actually tells me which referenced project was missing.
* What went wrong:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':test'.
Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':testRuntimeClasspath'.
Could not resolve project :lib-blah.
Required by:
project :
> Unable to find a matching configuration of project :lib-blah: None of the consumable configurations have attributes.
The annoying thing was that, it would not show any meaningful error message during the import failure. And if I commented out all the project references, sure it let me import it, but then once I uncomment it out, it would only print that ambiguous message and not tell you what is wrong.

HERE maps Android: where is the RouteManager class?

trying to integrate a HERE map into my application. I have a trial key for now.
Cant seem to find RouteManager. Its not on the classpath:
The only thing I have found is a class named "RouteManagerImpl":
Here is RouteManager in the SDK documentation:
https://developer.here.com/documentation/android-starter/topics_api_nlp/com-here-android-mpa-routing-routemanager.html
Any ideas why is this?

In the Premium Edition of the HERE SDK, this was renamed some time ago to CoreRouter. RouteManager is only the name in the StarterSDK.
You should use the Premium documentation instead: https://developer.here.com/documentation/android-premium/topics/routing.html

It might be a bit late to answer your question, But this scenario caused because I try to replace Premium-SDK (AAR file) with Starter-SDK and then Gradle build started failing with error Cannot find the package... even if I can see the Decompiled version of RouteManager class from AS.
Anyway, Following steps worked for me:
Delete the HERE-sdk.aar from 'libs' folder.
Remove the implementation(name:'HERE-sdk', ext:'aar') dependency from app-level build.gradle file.
Clear your project.
Download the latest HERE SDK from developer console and copy it into the 'libs' folder.
Add the implementation(name:'HERE-sdk', ext:'aar') dependency after the implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs') (in case if you have any JAR added).
Clean & Rebuild the project.
That's it. You can now import RouteManager class in your app.

Unable to instantiate application android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: on path: DexPathList

how are you ?. i've searched this question carefully but there seems no complete answer as to why and how to solve this issue.
okay, at first i am running Android Studio 1.5.1 with completely out dated gradle and sdk version but at that time i felt enough to use those old versions but now i updated all of those to android 2.3.1 latest SDK and latest Gradle.
as you may already know if i run directly from Android Studio it works fine, but when i copy my app_debug.apk file it suddenly showing the error
Unable to instantiate application android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.asd.asd.asd1/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/vendor/lib, /system/lib]]
i've applied many solution to this particular error, one which being successful was changin my gradel version in modul:app gradle from
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.1'
to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'
but then i tried all other app that i've made before and applying the same method. strangely, it didn't work.
and i think there is something that i am missing here but i dont know what, i dont want to enable multiDexEnabled because i dont think that's a good way to solve this problem.
thanks.

what you have to do is enable Multidex in gradle
defaultConfig{
multiDexEnabled true
}
else you need to minimize the use of heavy dependencies. if you insist to use those dependencies, you need to exclude module android support module in those dependencies..
for example, i already have appcompat-v7 in my list. so exclude module appcompat-v7 from third party library.
compile ('uk.co.chrisjenx:calligraphy:2.2.0'){
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat-v7'
transitive = false
}

com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: android/support/v4/os/ParcelableCompat.class [duplicate]

I am not sure what this error means.

I am currently using android-support-v4.jar for my libraries

compile files('libs/kooaba-api-v4-java.jar')
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}
Error does not show up during gradle sync. Just when I try to run the application
What could be the problem?

You've probably fixed this by now but just so this doesn't stay unanswered,
Try adding this to your build.gradle:
configurations {
all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
}

You need to check that you have inserted v4 library and compile library? You must not repeat library in your app or your dependence program.
delete the repeat library so that just one V4 remains.
in your app dir build.gradle file
add this command:
android{
configurations {
all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
}
}
it works for me! You can try it!

I also came across this kind issue when re import old eclipse project. It occurred some old dependency as jar file in the project.
just remove
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
in gradle file
and add dependency in the gradle file.
It works for me ..

In my case the mentioned "duplicate entry" error arised after settingmultiDexEnable=true in the build.gradle.
In order to fully resolve the error first of all have a look at Configure Apps with Over 64K Methods (espescially "Configuring Your App for Multidex with Gradle").
Furthermore search for occurences of the class that causes the "duplicate entry" error using ctrl+n in Android Studio. Determine the module and dependency that contains the duplicate and exclude it from build, e.g.:
compile ('org.roboguice:roboguice:2.0') {
exclude module: 'support-v4'
}
I had to try multiple module labels till it worked. Excluding "support-v4" solves issues related to "java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: android/support/v4/*"

My understanding is that there are duplicate references to the same API (Likely different version numbers). It should be reasonably easy to debug when building from the command line.
Try ./gradlew yourBuildVariantName --debug from the command line.
The offending item will be the first failure. An example might look like:
14:32:29.171 [INFO] [org.gradle.api.Task] INPUT: /Users/mydir/Documents/androidApp/BaseApp/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/theOffendingAAR/libs/google-play-services.jar
14:32:29.171 [DEBUG] [org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.execution.ExecuteAtMostOnceTaskExecuter] Finished executing task ':BaseApp:packageAllyourBuildVariantNameClassesForMultiDex'
14:32:29.172 [LIFECYCLE] [class org.gradle.TaskExecutionLogger] :BaseApp:packageAllyourBuildVariantNameClassesForMultiDex FAILED'
In the case above, the aar file that I'd included in my libs directory (theOffendingAAR) included the Google Play Services jar (yes the whole thing. yes I know.) file whilst my BaseApp build file utilised location services:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:6.5.87'
You can safely remove the offending item from your build file(s), clean and rebuild (repeat if necessary).

check your dependencies versions, you must have compatible versions put attention specially to com.google packages, must have same version like:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.3.0'
Both are 8.3.0, if you have another version compilation will throw that exception.

Simple Remove Your Jar file from dependencies gardle.project as v7
and run your project

For Expose.class Error i.e
java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: com/google/gson/annotations/Expose.class
use the below code
configurations {
all*.exclude module: 'gson'
}

find out the lib depends on the support v4, and exclude it.
code in build.gradle is like this:
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:2.2.1') {
// http://stackoverflow.com/a/30931887/5210
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat'
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
exclude module: 'recyclerview-v7'
}
In my situation, the lib 'espresso' has a jar called support-v4 and in my project 'app' have the same support-v4, exclude the support-v4 when import espresso.
PS: it seems compile project can not work with the exclude

This is because you have added a library and given its dependency on a module more than once.
In my case, I had added a library as a module and as a gradle dependency both.
Removing one source of adding library (I removed gradle dependency) solved my problem.

For Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug' com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException java.util.zip.ZipException duplicate entry com/google/gson/annotations/Expose.class
Here is what I did:
1) Delete the gson-2.5.jar file.
2) configurations { all*.exclude module: 'gson-2.5' }

I have faced this issue as i have manually copied the jar in libs as well as mentioned the dependency in gradle file. You also check in your project structure, whether the same jar file is copied in any other folder like libs or in project folder.

I had the same problem after upgrading the android SDK. I was able to run the application in the buildToolsVersion '23.0.1', I got the same error when I changed to buildToolsVersion '24.0.3'
I resolved the problem by updating my java version from 1.7 to 1.8 with compileSdkVersion 24

This problem cost me one whole day. I finally downgraded the firebase-ui library version from 2.0.0 to 1.2.0 and added the following code inside Project level build.gradle file:
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
// Add the following code to your project level build.gradle
maven {
url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public'
}
}
}

I also have the issue because of i have compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.0.0-alpha1' but i added recyclerview liberary compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:24.0.2'..i changed the version as same as compat like (24.0.2 intead of 24.0.0).
i got the answer..may be it will help for someone.

In my case the mentioned "duplicate entry" error arised after settingmultiDexEnable=true in the build.gradle.
and exact error which i was getting was below :
Error:Execution failed for task
':android:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException:
java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry:
com/google/android/gms/internal/zzqx.class
So first thing I search for class which causes "duplicate entry" error using ctrl+n in Android Studio and searched for com/google/android/gms/internal/zzqx.class and then it was showing 2 entries for gms class with one version 8.4.0 and 1 with version 11.6.0 .
To fix it i made both to use 11.6.0 and it was fixed example
earlier
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-games:11.6.0"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:8.4.0"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:11.6.0"
After
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-games:11.6.0"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.6.0"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:11.6.0"
Rebuilding Fixed .

In my case exact error was below
':android:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: com/google/android/gms/internal/zzqx.class
I was using another version of google apis i.e. in one modules gradle file
if (!project.hasProperty('gms_library_version')) {
ext.gms_library_version = '8.6.0'
}
however in other modules version 11.6.0 as below
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:11.6.0"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-games:11.6.0"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.6.0"
However to find this i did a ctrl + n in android studio and entered class name zzqx.class and then it displayed 2 jar files being pulled for this class and then i understood that somewhere i am using version 8.6.0 . On changing 8.6.0 to 11.6.0 and rebuilding the project the issue was fixed .
Hope this helps .

For me something similar happened when I had accidently added
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
to my android library module. Removing the line fixes the issue.

I tried all the above solutions but not working for me. I tried update libraries by goto project structure > app. And it works for me! Hope this answer helpful to someone.

Try this:
android {
configurations {
all*.exclude module: 'PhotoView' //去除重复依赖库
}
}

TransformException for duplicate class entry

I got "Error converting bytecode to dex" in a Chromecast project with Remote Display API. I solved this by adding "multiDexEnabled true", but this only generated another error:
Error:Execution failed for task
':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.>
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException:
java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry:
com/google/android/gms/internal/zzlg.class
I have checked my Gradle files, but I can not find any conflict. I read other similar threads and tried their code fixes, but no use here. How can I proceed with this?These are my gradle files:
Gradle files

First, try to clean/rebuild the project because usually that kind of error will be gone after you clean/rebuild the project.
From this documentation, when you add multiDexEnabled true in the gradle.files, make sure you also add compile 'com.android.support:multidex:x.x.x' in the dependencies.
For more information, check these related SO questions:

java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry

You may be compiling the same dependency multiple times. For example, play-services-cast depends on appcompat-v7. You can prevent recompiling the same dependency with:
compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast:8.3.+')
{
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat-v7'
}
Use the shell command gradlew -q YourApp:dependencies to print your app's dependency graph; then in your build.gradle, exclude dependencies that show up multiple times.
