Android Studio: Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha2

Recently I have updated my Android Studio to latest version from Latest Android Studio Canary Build: 2.0 Preview

After updating to the new version, my current working directory stop working at all. Every single time when I am trying to clean and build a project they will give me an error like this

Blockquote 'Error:Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha2. Searched in the following locations: file:/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/gradle/m2repository/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.0.0-alpha2/gradle-2.0.0-alpha2.pom file:/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/gradle/m2repository/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.0.0-alpha2/gradle-2.0.0-alpha2.jar https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.0.0-alpha2/gradle-2.0.0-alpha2.pom https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.0.0-alpha2/gradle-2.0.0-alpha2.jar Required by: :android 3:unspecified'

Anyone have an idea how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: I am using a Mac machine and installation directory look like

Solution

  • Apparently the build tools have been moved from maven to jcenter so you need to change the code from:

    buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha2'
    }
}

    to this

    buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha2'
    }
}
