I couldn’t get the project to build. ERROR: Unable to resolve dependency for ‘:app@debug/compileClasspath’: Could not resolve org.jetbrains.anko:anko-common:0.10.8.

Tried to clean and rebuild but still no help. I’m running Android Studio 3.3.2 on a MacBook running Mojave 10.14.3

@nsdestr0yer Can you please help with this when you get a chance? Thank you - much appreciated! :]

Hi @namlu ! This usually happens to me when I was working without an internet connection at some point and Android Studio switched me to offline mode. To make sure it’s not that, in your demo project choose Android StudioPreferences. On the left side choose Build, Execution, DeploymentBuild ToolsGradle. Uncheck the Offline work checkbox and then choose Apply or OK.

Other options are to try FileInvalidate Caches / Restart …. If that still doesn’t work, try to clean up the .gradle and .idea directory under the project root directory. Let me know if that works.

Thank you @nsdestr0yer. I found those solutions via StackOverflow but still didn’t work for me. I gave up for a while and recently solved it by deleting my gradle.properties using $ rm ~/.gradle/gradle.properties

@namlu I’m glad you got it working! :]

This tutorial is more than six months old so questions are no longer supported at the moment for it. Thank you!
