9:13 PM Gradle sync failed: Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.2.
                Searched in the following locations:
                https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.6.2/gradle-3.6.2.pom

I thought it because that not update the dependencies and I change compile to implementation like this and update all the dependices like the below.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 29
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.shivam.openmrs"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 29
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

android {
    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
    }
}

repositories {
    maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    //noinspection GradleCompatible,GradleCompatible

This is a photo of that error um getting after run it.

Error: .

How I fix this and run it ?

Answer 1

Change the gradle version to newer version such as 4.0.2 in build.gradle and sync project

Answer 2

Please find this panel at the left of Android Studio to check offline mode

---

Please click on sixth logo

After this please run following command to clear gradle cache:

rm -rf ~/.gradle/caches/

after that please click on Invalidate Caches/Restart from File menu then further processing will happen which downloads all the libraries again so it takes time but also resolves this issue.

Answer 3

It would definitely give a lot of errors because your android studio configuration is too different from any other project configuration.

It also happens with me many times. If I found one error then more other errors came out. but I solved the way to get out of here

The main stuff to run the projects is the XML and Java and little bit of drawable and value. So just copy all of that and paste into your project Because this stuff doesn't get changed with time.

I hope it would help you And if it is much important to you so you would definitely do the steps given. So, have a nice day!!! Stay learning, Stay safe

Answer 4

please try it

Click File > Settings (on macOS, Android Studio > Preferences ) to open the Settings dialog.

In the left pane, expand Build, Execution, Deployment and then click Gradle .

Under Global Gradle settings, uncheck the Offline work checkbox.

Click Apply or OK for your changes to take effect.
