Gradle Build Error

Questions & Answers
1

i moved to a new system and now unity won’t build an apk using gradle.
_
unity: 2017.4.8|
jdk: 1.8|
samethings on both system.|
i’m not using any plug-in or 3rd party libraries, just unity itself.
_
i searched and tryed for example changing value of (#org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m) to somethings else(1024-512…) in gradle.properties file in this address (SDK\extras\google\google_play_services\samples\unified\ActivityDemo).
_
I welcome and appreciate any help :slight_smile:

the ERROR:

CommandInvokationFailure: Gradle build failed. 
C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_162\bin\java.exe -classpath "C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\Tools\gradle\lib\gradle-launcher-4.0.1.jar" org.gradle.launcher.GradleMain "-Dorg.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m" "assembleRelease"

This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon.
For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used.

hey guys. after spending hours i figured out the solution. it’s about setting the PATH environment variable. what made me crazy was that i could build apk before and suddenly idk it didn’t work.
here is what i did:
_
Solution:
_
1- Select Control Panel and then System. click on “Advanced system settings” from the left side.
_
2- go to Advanced tab and then “Environment Variables”.
_
3- from the User variables for UserName(mine is Afshin), select “Path” variable and click on Edit.
_
4- click the New button, copy and paste the JDK directory.
mine is this:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_162\bin
_
5- click ok all the windows.
_
Extra Solution:
_
close unity. be sure your internet connection is ok, then turn off your firewall. open unity and hit the build button.
_
everything should be ok now, you can build for android using gradle.
