Gradle 'FunFacts' project refresh failed. Could not find any version that matches com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.+

when opening the android studio in windows 8.1 i get this error. i've tried many things including

  1. create a new project
  2. verify firewall settings
  3. open the fun facts project you provide 4.File -> Invalidate caches / Restart and rebuild.
  4. add Java\jdk1.7.0_67\bin directory to my PATH system variable.

nothing helped :( here is the full error:

Gradle 'FunFacts' project refresh failed Error:Error:Could not find any version that matches com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.+.

quick update, I re-tried "File -> Invalidate caches / Restart and rebuild" and after a few times it manage to download everything and resolve it selves.

I keep this discussion open in case somebody else is having the same problem.

you just have to make this two changes changes inside the build.gradle file. 1

 classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.0'

to 

 classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0' //this is the minimum supported version of gradle now

2

After this you will also have to change runProguard to minifyEnabled

buildTypes {
    release {
        runProguard false // you have to change 'runProguard' to 'minifyEnabled ' 
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }

runProguard was renamed to minifyEnabled in version 0.14.0.

Hello there!

Could you please open your build.gradle file and make the following change:

// (-) DELETE THIS LINE: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.+'. Replace with below line \/
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.0'

This should fix your problem but if it doesn't, please paste your build.gradle contents onto here and I'll take a look :)

ok i deleted the line and added the new one. now here is what i get in build.gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android { compileSdkVersion 19 buildToolsVersion "0.12.0"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "ca.slabber.funfacts"
    minSdkVersion 14
    targetSdkVersion 19
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        runProguard false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

}

dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) }
