I am new in Android Studio. After setup, When I am trying to import an application I am getting that error So that gradle not able to build.

Error:> Could not initialize class com.android.repository.api.RepoManager

I checked that my classpath setting for Java is fine. I am running Windows OS. Does anyone know the source of the error?

I had this issue while trying to run a 5-year-old android project. Following these steps fixed the issue for me:

1- update gradle version in the project level build.gradle file from

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2' to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.1.1'

2- add google() to the project repositories

allprojects {
repositories {
    jcenter()
    mavenLocal()
    google()
}}

and in buildScript block as well:

buildscript {
repositories {
    jcenter()
    mavenLocal()
    google()
} dependencies {...}}

3- update gradle version in gradle-wrapper.properties file to an up-to-date version, I updated to 7.2

4- In the app level build.gradle file, in the dependencies block, I changed compile to implementation

5- sync the project

A downgrade to Android Studio 4.0 fixed the error for me.
