Answer 1

I was having the same issue after a git pull of a working project from one computer to another. What finally resolved it was making sure the project gradle file listed google() and had it before jcenter(). Final working form in ProjectDir/build.gradle looks like:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}

I am using Gradle 4.4 and the Android Studio Gradle plugin 3.1.3

Why it was working on one computer and not on the other one, I have no idea.

Answer 2

Solved when I wrote this code in Gradle:project

 buildscript {

repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.1'


    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
  repositories {
      google()
      jcenter()
  }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}
