After updating to Android Studio 2.3 build gradle is not able to build

Question

Error:Failed to open zip file.

Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupted (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)

<a href="syncProject">Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)</a>
<a href="syncProject">Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)</a>

This happened yesterday. I'm not able to run any of my old project and I can't download this dependency though I have good internet connection.

I had a similar issue today after updating to Android Studio 2.3.

I had to update my build tools to 25.0.0 you can do this by changing the buildToolsVersion and changing the compileSdkVersion to 25 in the build.gradle file in your main module.

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.0"
    ...
}
