Why is it that every time I create a new project in Android Studio, it always comes up with:
Error:(23, 17) Failed to resolve: junit:junit:4.12?
When I remove testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
in dependencies it is not a problem anymore.
build.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.okedroid.myapplication"
minSdkVersion 17
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
}
I had the same problem. Solved by adding url for missing repository in the build.gradle
file:
android {
[...]
repositories {
maven { url 'https://repo1.maven.org/maven2' }
}
[...]
}
That's it.
Just remove the "testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'" from build.gradle file:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'//remove this line and sync again... worked for me
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'}) //if available, also delete these two lines
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
}
worked for me and I am Happy! :)
Remember that this is not the actual answer of this question. I mentioned this because it works when you remove above lines.
Go to File -> Project Structure. Following window will open:
https://i.stack.imgur.com/5WvS3.png
From there:
remove the junit library (select junit and press "-" button below ) and add it again (select "+" button below, select "library dep.", search for "junit", press OK ). Press OK to apply changes. After around 30 seconds your gradle sync should work fine.
Hope it works for you too :D
It's not able to get junit library.
repositories {
maven { url 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2' }
}
After adding above line inside android block in build.gradle file, it resolved problem. This can be because your Android studio doesn't have junit library.
add repository in your build.gradle file
repositories {
maven { url 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2' }
}
Probably your gradle is incomplete, I recommend you add the following
android{
repositories {
maven { url 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2' }
}
but in some cases won't work , you can completely delete it from you dependencies in your gradle.
I think it will be OK if you reinstall the android studio with the deleting gradle folder condition which is in user folder .gradle
Here is what I did to solve the same problem. I am behind a firewall, which is same issue as yours I suppose. So I had tried removing the
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' line
but that didnt work for me. I tried adding below lines of code:
repositories {
maven { url 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2' }
}
Even that did not work for me.
I tried removing (-) and readding (+) Junit4.12 from the library dependencies under Module Settings. Still that did not work for me.
Tried syncing and rebuilding project several times. Still did not work for me.
Finally what I did was to manually download the Junit4.12.jar file from mvnrepository website. I put this jar file in the Androids Workspace under the Project folder inside libs folder. Then go to Module Settings > Dependencies Tab > (+) > File Dependency > under Sleect path window, expand the 'libs' folder and you will find the Jar file you copied inside there. Select the File and click 'OK' Now remove the previous version of junit4.12 from the list of dependencies.
You should have one entry "libs\junit-4.12.jar"
in the Dependencies list. Now click 'OK'.
Now Gradle will rebuild the project and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps!
It happens because HTTPS is blocked by Proxy. Try to change from default jcenter (which uses HTTPS) into HTTP.
Before
repositories {
jcenter()
}
After
repositories {
jcenter {
//Default one is HTTPS
url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/"
}
}
Repeat the above step for allprojects.
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter {
url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/"
}
}
}
Or changing from jcenter to mavenCentral also worked
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
I'll tryed everithing, but the only thing that helps me resolve the problem was delete the line
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
from the app gradel.
I received this error after creating a new project. In the build.gradle file, I had this:
jcenter()
I change it to the following and the error went away:
jcenter {
url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/"
}
I think this is because I am behind a firewall and specifying the url like so changes it from https to http
Probably you are behind proxy. Happened to me, used my mobile tethering (no proxy) rebuild project and error disappeared. Returned to original connection (with proxy) and rebuild with no errors.
Are you using proxy? If so, the problem can be in missing network configuration for https in your gradle.properties
file.
AndroidStudio puts automatically your default proxy settings to gradle.properties
file in your project, but only for http and forgets https.
So basically your gradle.properties
file needs to contain both http and https config:
systemProp.http.proxyPassword=xxx
systemProp.http.proxyHost=xxx
systemProp.http.nonProxyHosts=xxx
systemProp.http.proxyUser=xxx
systemProp.http.proxyPort=xxx
systemProp.https.proxyPassword=xxx
systemProp.https.proxyHost=xxx
systemProp.https.nonProxyHosts=xxx
systemProp.https.proxyUser=xxx
systemProp.https.proxyPort=xxx
Mostly this issue will come when ever you update your SDK, at the time of project creation Gradle build fails. If you add the maven and jcenter repositories to your build.gradle(Module:app) your problem will solved.
repositories {
maven { url 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2' }
jcenter { url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/" }
}
These are the two line you have to add after
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
This is how your code look like after adding those two lines
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
repositories {
maven { url 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2' }
jcenter { url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/" }
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.okedroid.myapplication"
minSdkVersion 17
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
Be sure you are not behind a proxy! If you configured your Android Strudio to work with proxy be sure to disable that option under the Android Studio preferences Go to gradle.properties under Android view in Android Studio and delete all proxy configuration Sync your gradle now Enjoy coding!
The error is caused by missing jar files. My simple solution is just by copying all the files that does not resolve to the C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\m2repository... (your file path may be different). I got around 6 dependencies that cannot be resolved, junit is one of them and the others are com and org and javax. Since I am behind a firewall, even if I added the code for the repository, the Android Studio doesn't seem to access it. I went to the maven repository and downloaded all the files that will not resolve. Problem solved and the Gradle sync without error. But I am a certified newbie with only 1 day experience so I do not not if this is the proper way to do it.
Example error: Cannot resolve com:squareup:javawriter:2.1.1
Step 1: I created a path C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\m2repository\com\squareup\javawriter\2.1.1\
Step 2: I downloaded all the jar files from the maven repository: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/squareup/javawriter/2.1.1/
Step 3: I manually downloaded all the .jar files from this directory
Step 4: I copied them to C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\m2repository\com\squareup\javawriter\2.1.1\
I repeated this to all the files that did not resolve including the junit.
For junit, here is the directory I created: C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\m2repository\junit\junit\4.12 and then I copied the junit-4.12.jar inside this directory and the junit error disappeared.
CHANGE your build.gradle like with this, work fine for me:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
repositories {
maven { url 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2' }
}
defaultConfig {
applicationId "YOUR PACKAGE NAME"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
}
added
repositories {
maven { url 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2' }
}
to android
Go to File -> Project Structure -> dependency There you will find -> junit:unit:4.12
On the right hand side ..select compile from the drop down. Simple.. its done.

My installation of Android Studio is completely offline. To resolve these kind of problems I have used the Process Monitor. It showed that a few files are missing within "Android Studio\gradle\m2repository". I have downloaded all files from
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/junit/junit/4.12/ http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/hamcrest/hamcrest-core/ repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/hamcrest/hamcrest-parent/1.3/ (I can only post two links...;-))
and copied these files in "Android Studio\gradle\m2repository". You have to create the structure below "m2repository" as it is below "maven2". Maybe there are more missing files, but at this time at least Gradle build is finished without errors.
I was having same problem.
1 option: Download junit 4.12.jar and copy it in your lib folder and restart android studio. Benefit u don't have to create any new project
2 option: Create a new project having a internet connections and copy all the java and XML code in the newly created project. Benefit this problem will be solved permantly
Look through for many answers but nothing works. Fortunately had found the easy solution. No need to comment junit4.12 or delete it. The problem is here:
- androidTestCompile files('libs/junit-4.12.jar')
This part shows us the path to look for the file in the library in your's project. No idea why but for some reason by the default it is empty. In my case the path is:
C:\Users\arzakhar\AndroidStudioProjects\MyApp\app\libs
Sure you can delete this line in code build.grandle(Module.app)
but you may need it later. Here is the solution:
1 - download junit-4.12.jar or copy it from you Android Studio folder, normally it should be there. In my case, it was here:
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\lib
to the directory mentioned above(to your project)
2 - delete & add
https://i.stack.imgur.com/X4gBs.png
3 - rebuild
4 - work hard
Remove the line testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
}
After that sync the project again.
Simply try to compile and run you project while having active internet connection.
it worked for me in Android studio 1.5 Ubuntu 15.04
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
}
Note: Remove testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' line has been solved my problem.
Try this:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
//testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.3.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.3.0'
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.4'
}
If you are behind a proxy. Android Studio will add proxy for http to Gradle, but will not for https. Add proxy settings for https to gradle.properties
if you faced this problem you can completely resolve it by changing :
build.gradle(project: ...)
replace this
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
I had the same problem, but with another problem.
My other problem was that the Gradle build was too slow!
I resolved my problem by doing thisL
If you do like mdew you need to this any time you're creating your project to do this
So if you want to set default option to maven
Do this:
Go to the folder:
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\plugins\android\lib\templates\gradle-projects\NewAndroidProject\root
Then open the build.gradle.ftl
file with notepad++ or notepad and replace all jcenter()
with mavenCentral()
.
EDIT: Why its going down voted? you don't like it?
I couldn't work out why Android Studio was not syncing with gradle. It turned out that it didn't like my VPN, so watch for that!
Go to Go to "File" -> "Project Structure" -> "App" In the tab "properties". In "Library Repository" field put 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2' then press Ok. It was fixed like that for me. Now the project is compiling.
Just connect to Internet and start Android Studio and open your project. While Gradle Sync it will download the dependencies from Internet(All JAR Files). This solved it for me. No Editing in Gradle file ,all was done by Android Studio Automatically. Using Android Studio 2.2 :)
Also don't forget to install Java JDK 1.x(7 or 8 all works fine).
Success story sharing
maven
?buildTypes
, otherwise the error buildTypes cannot be applied to groovy.lang.Closure will occur.jcenter()
? Is it necessary to eliminatejcenter()
from repositories?
