Could not find com.android.tools.build:aapt2:4.0.0-6051327 [duplicate]

Question

when I run a java file in android studio, this error happens:

Could not find com.android.tools.build:aapt2:4.0.0-6051327.
Searched in the following locations:
  - https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/aapt2/4.0.0-6051327/aapt2-4.0.0-6051327.pom
If the artifact you are trying to retrieve can be found in the repository but without metadata in 'Maven POM' format, you need to adjust the 'metadataSources { ... }' of the repository declaration.
Required by:
    project :objects

to give some information, build.gradle project:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.0'

    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

build.gradle Module:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 29
    buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 17
        targetSdkVersion 29
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

}

gradle-wrapper.properties:

distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1.1-all.zip

I have tried Gradle Sync Failed: could not find com.android.tools.build, but the problem remains. android studion 4.0. I am new to android. any help is highly appreciated...

Answer 1

add google() dependency in your build.gradle file.

allprojects {
  repositories {
      google() // this one is missing in your code
      jcenter()
  }
}

and use implementation instead of compile as it was deprecated.
