I was trying to make an ANDROID application. But after updating it isn't working. Any solution?



Solution 1:[1]

Try to turn off Gradle Offline mode from Gradle tool located at right side of Android Studio. then please follow below steps:

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 dowloads all the libraries again so it takes time but also resolves this issue.

Solution 2:[2]

At Gradle I used rm -rf ~/.gradle/ Then gradle clean build And ./gradlew test
