Android Studio: Re-download dependencies and sync project

Question

I downloaded an open source game "ChaseWhisplyProject" source code from Github.

I imported the project in my Android Studio (Version 1.5.1).

It shows following error message:

Error:Failed to open zip file.
Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)

I changed all the dependency versions to latest one bu still it is showing the same message.

It has two modules under the main project 1) BaseGameUtils & 2)ChaseWhisply. The above modules are not shown in bold letters (I think it should be shown in bold letters like module "app").

Following are the gradle files.

1) Root Gradle:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to         all sub-projects/modules.
allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }

}

2) BaseGameUtils Module Gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
}

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
}

3) ChaseWhisply Module Gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.nineoldandroids:library:2.4.0'
    compile project(':BaseGameUtils')
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

    lintOptions {
        // TODO fix and remove !
        disable 'MissingTranslation', 'DuplicateIds', 'ExtraTranslation'
    }

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 22
        versionName "0.3.6"
    }
}

4) Settings.gradle

include ':ChaseWhisply', ':BaseGameUtils'

What is wrong over here? Please help.

Answer 1

While importing a libGDX project I got the same message from Android Studio 2.2.

Went to File->Project Structure then selected Project and set

Gradle version

and

Android Plugin Version

to values identical to another project I had recently created with Android Studio 2.2 and updated SDK. Could then sync gradle. Did Build->Build Clean with no issues. Then did Run->Clean and Rerun and project ran fine.

Hope this helps.
