Gradle sync failed: Could not create parent directory for lock file

I checked out a git repository in android studio, but I'm in trouble with Gradle sync failed error.

When project wants to build, the android studio raise an error like as following:

Gradle sync failed: Could not create parent directory for lock file 
C:\Users\username\.gradle\wrapper\dists \gradle-4.10.1- 
all\455itskqi2qtf0v2sja68alqd\gradle-4.10.1-all.zip.lck

How can I solve this problem?

I appreciate you to solve this problem, thanks.

For Linux Ubuntu users. I was able to fix by adjusting Android Studio Gradle Settings to point to /home/YOUR-USERNAME/.gradle/

In my case, the Gradle user home field was changed to a non-default folder. However, that folder is NOT existed anymore (due to disk partition or something similar). Then, just remove the non-default folder to make Android Studio download Gradle stuff again to default folder - C:\Users\user-name\.gradle (or you can specify any other new valid folder I think). `Gradle user home config

Same issue had troubled me long enough before I found this link for same issue in Intellij. After going the conversation, I found this is a permissions issue - which I should have figured out as the error clearly says "Failed to create parent directory".

I simply gave required permissions to the gradle directory and it worked. Similar to below(replace path_to_gradle to your actual path) :

chmod ugo+rwx <path_to_gradle>

For anyone who still encountering this issue, I have just ran the Android Studio as administrator and it worked.

I found this answer:

  1. In the upper-right corner of android studio click on the Gradle tool, then right click on the your project name then click on the Refresh Gradle project as following:

Gradle --> Your project name --> Refresh Gradle project

  1. Then click on the Build -> Rebuild Project as following:

Build --> Rebuild Project
