Answer 1

the error is not because of hamcrest-core-1.3.jar file. it seems gradle cannot connect to jcenter and download the junit.jar . So, make sure of your internet connection and rebuild your project. normally gradle downloads all necessary jars. if it dosent try to update your build tools.

Answer 2

Try this on your build.gradle Module:app

configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy {
            force 'org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.3'
        }}
