Failed to sync Gradle Project ‚HelloGlass‘
Error: Cause: failed to find target with hash string 'Google Inc.: Glass Development Kit Preview:19' in D:\Project\Android-SDK

Strangly, this error didn’t appear 3 days ago when I last built the project. I haven’t changed anything or used Android Studio since then.

These are the steps that I’ve tried to solve the issue:

  • restarted Android Studio and tried to build again
  • made sure that both gradle and my project use the same path for the Android SDK
  • made sure that I have the Google Glass Development Kit Installed in the SDK Manager (and all other packages for API 19 as well), also deleted and re-installed it
  • installed the latest Build Tools via the SDK Manager and consequently changed buildToolsVersion „23.0.1“ to „23.0.2“ in my gradle file
  • Replaced 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha3' in my top-level gradle file with 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha6' since this is the latest version
  • in gradle-wrapper.properties changed this line distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.8-all.zip to this line: distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip and chose „use default gradle wrapper“ in the project options
  • cleared gradle caches in project/gradle and %HOME%/gradle
  • tried to build a new Google Glass Project from scratch in Android Studio – same problem

This is the relevant part of my gradle file:

android {
    compileSdkVersion "Google Inc.:Glass Development Kit Preview:19"
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.helloglass"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    ...

And my top-level gradle file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha6'
    }
}

I don’t know what else to do. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I haven't found the reason for the problem, but after re-installing both Android Studio and Android SDK I can finally build the project.

  • In case anyone else is wondering how to fix this. If you get a new SDK probably will fix the problem straight away. Aparently the cause of the issue is that there are some duplicated packages on the SDK folders.

Replace 

compileSdkVersion "Google Inc.:Glass Development Kit Preview:19"

with 

              compileSdkVersion 23

then rebuild the project, hope it will work
