Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have
set up your Android development environment:

Answer 1

Upgrade your build.gradle project file; com.android.tools.build:gradle version from 2.2.3 to use as below:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'

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

You may or may not, also encounter this issue, please update your build tools.

The SDK Build Tools revision (23.0.1) is too low for project ':app'. Minimum required is 25.0.0

Solution: update inside your project /app/build.gradle as below:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.1"
