Gradle error : unable to open zip file

Question

When I open Project it will give error:

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)

I tried this: Error:Failed to open zip file. Gradle dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)

but not working for me.

this is my build.gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
     compileSdkVersion 26
     buildToolsVersion "26.0.2"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.web"
        minSdkVersion 18
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    productFlavors {
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
      compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.1'
      compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
}
allprojects {
repositories {
    jcenter()
    maven {
        url 'https://maven.google.com'
    }
    maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }

}

Top Level Build File (Project Level)

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

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
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()

        flatDir {
            dirs "${rootDir}/libs"
        }
    }

}

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

What happens if you run `gradlew --refresh-dependencies clean build` from the command line? — Henry, Mar 15 '17 at 09:44

@JJG Can you please post the other project level `build.gradle` and the `gradle-wrapper.properties`? Thanks — Shobhit Puri, Jan 02 '18 at 10:12
@ShobhitPuri Added Project Level File.. and also update the API Of My Project Still Same Error. — Learning Always, Jan 02 '18 at 10:18
@JJG can you please check your libs folder is there any `zip` file — Kaushik, Jan 02 '18 at 12:29
Have you tried to clean (remove) `C:\Users\<>\.gradle\caches`? — Eselfar, Jan 02 '18 at 12:33
@JJG can you please download youtube player from [here](https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/downloads/). One zip folder will be downloaded after extracting that zip you can find the `jar` inside libs folder. Please copy that `.jar` file into your libs folder and delete the `.zip` file from your project's libs folder. — Kaushik, Jan 03 '18 at 04:36

According to the solution here:

Close Android Studio.

Download Gradle 3.3 binary from https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-bin.zip
Extract the downloaded zip file to the gradle folder:
  C:\Users\user-name\.gradle\wrapper\dists\
Now open the Android Studio, go to File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Gradle and set Gradle Home to the folder gradle-3.3 and SYNC.

OR

Close Android Studio.
And delete all the files under this directory:
  C:\Users\user-name\.gradle\wrapper\dists\
Now open the Android Studio and the necessary files will be downloaded automatically.

I also faced same issue sometime ago, I found simple workaround for it.

File ->Invalidate Caches/ Restart -> Select Invalidate and Restart option.

It will clear all local history and restart automatically. All necessary files will be downloaded automatically.

I too had same sort of issue. Try this:

Tools--> Android--> Sync Project With Gradle Files

This worked for me.

Firstly close the android studio then remove all files from /dist folder

**C:\Users\username.gradle\wrapper\dists**

basically, this folder contains gradle

after that open android studio. clear project and build it.
