Hi Charles,

I see what you are talking about. Seems like when you were building the project, the gradle was not defined correctly or some other reason revolving around gradle.

However, while importing the project into Android Studio, I chose to build a local repository radio button of the gradle. It downloaded the missing files from the gradle repository and everything worked fine.

Hope this helps. Ask again if you need help

Hi Rustam, I was having the same problem. Try importing the project rather than opening it. It worked for me, I dont know why !

I have the same problem. But I didn't quite understand your solution.

I followed along with Ben in the video and moved my files into a new folder, which created a path nightmare. I couldn't run the app because of Gradle errors, even though I thought I had all the files in the right folder. Maybe I should have changed the path in one of the Gradle files? Well anyways I did what Ivan suggested above and it works now. So thanks Ivan!

I was having the same problem. Selecting Import Non-Android Studio project from the Android Studio Welcome Screen worked for me.

I had the same problem. Following Ben's instruction of moving the content of an old project to a new folder for Git Version Control, I discovered that even though I change the code, the gradle was building from the source code of the old folder.

The solution is to "import" the project rather than opening it from Android Studio. This was the solution offered by Ivan Koch.
