The "com.android.tools.build:gradle:$version" is what we called Android Gradle Plugin(AGP), its latest stable version is 7.0.4 (until 1st Jan 2022), you can check all available versions here.

The 7.3.3 is for the Gradle platform itself, you can check all available versions here.

For their relationship, please check here.

You need to add google in the repositories block in app level build.gradle file: Because android gradle plugin resides on google repository

allprojects {
   repositories {
     google()
     // ...
   }
}

Answer 8

For me the Problem was that the project was building fine and producing the apk. But when I run on the command line commands like:

./gradlew clean

I was getting the same error as you.

After many attempt, including even verifying multiple time that I got the right "Gradle JDK (11)" on Android studio, I figured out that maybe the command line fail since it doesn't use the same jdk as the one used by Android studio when I click the "Build Project" button.

I run the command "java -version" on the command line and I found out it was using "openjdk version "1.8.0_362" (Java 1.8) and that I also never set the environment variable $JAVA_HOME in my computer.

So I figured that by installing the Java 11 in my computer "beside the one used by Android studio" and setting as my default would solve the problem.

So I proceeded as such :

sudo yum reinstall java-11-openjdk

After that you can either choose to set the environment variable $JAVA_HOME as pointing to this newly installed JDK 11 or run the command :

sudo update-alternatives --config 'java'

and choose the newly installed JDK 11 from the menu to be your default.

By doing this, my "./gradlew .." command from the terminal works again.

Finally,

The command are given for a Fedora or RHEL based distros, but should easily translate to other distros.

For windows, you can just check that the $JAVA_HOME environment variable is pointing tot he right location.

Answer 10

just check if your internet/wifi is restricting to downloading Gradle. Because for me my office wifi was restricting so switch to my personal mobile data and re-run the project it should automatically download the appropriate gradle version because it worked for me

I got this error after upgrading the Flutter version to 3.10.0 from 3.7.7 since I was using Android studio Electric Ele so above solution was not working for me.

Answer 11

Check your build.gradle, make sure repositories has those two items.

    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
