i think the reason is this line

Caused by: org.gradle.api.resources.ResourceException: Could not get resource 'https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.2.0/gradle-3.2.0.pom'.

how can i fix it?

Answer 1

Open Android Studio preferences. Under Build,Execution,Deployment > Gradle > Android Studio. Toggle Enable embedded Maven repository. I had a similar problem recently and this fixed it for me. Hope it helps.
