If you encounter difficulties setting up the Gradle environment variables in Android, you can try the following troubleshooting methods:

  1. Ensure that Gradle has been installed correctly and added to the system’s environment variables. You can verify if Gradle has been installed correctly by running gradle -v in the terminal.
  2. Verify that the installation path of Gradle is correct and has been properly configured in the system’s environment variables. In Windows systems, this can be done by configuring it in the “Environment Variables” section under “System and Security” > “System” > “Advanced System Settings” in the Control Panel. For Mac or Linux systems, you can edit the ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc file to configure the environment variables.
  3. Restart the computer in order for the environment variables to take effect.
  4. Make sure that the versions of the system and Gradle are compatible. Using an incompatible version of Gradle with Android Studio may result in failed environment variable configuration. You can confirm compatibility by checking the official documentation for Gradle and Android Studio.
  5. If you are using Android Studio, you can try specifying the version of Gradle in the build.gradle file of your project to avoid relying on system environment variables. For example:
  6. buildscript {
    repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
    classpath ‘com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.3’
    }
    }
  7. Also specify the Gradle version in the project’s gradle-wrapper.properties file, for example:
  8. The URL for distribution is pointing to the Gradle version 6.7.1 zip file on the services.gradle.org website.
  9. Then re-synchronize the project.
  10. If the issue persists, you can try reinstalling Android Studio and Gradle, making sure to follow the correct steps for installation and configuration.

If none of the above methods resolve the issue, it is recommended to consult the official documentation of Gradle and Android Studio, or to ask questions in relevant developer communities for more detailed assistance.
