android gradle project refresh fail: The device is not ready

Question

When i have move my project to my laptop and import it in file/import project, Android studio alert me

project refresh failed

Error: The device is not ready

Answer 1

Look inside your gradle file for lines something like this (this is mine):

maven {
    url "D:/Android/sdk/extras/android/m2repository"
}

I do not have drive D:\ with Android SDK on my new laptop. That is why I met the error:

Gradle sync failed: The device is not ready
Consult IDE log for more details (Help | Show Log)

In the Android Studio's log I found the line:

Caused by: org.gradle.api.UncheckedIOException: Could not normalize path for file 'D:\Android\sdk\extras\android\m2repository'.

Hope this post will help other people to handle this error quickly.
