Unable to resolve Gradle sync failure (gradle-4.4) in Android studio 3.1.3

Question

Being new to android studio, I have downloaded android studio version 3.1.3 with gradle build 4.4. Everytime I open android studio, gradle sync starts but never succeeds. This time it throws the following error:

A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.

I have tried disabling instant run, but unfortunately in my system there is no way of checking it out.

Rebuild and clear project did not make any changes.

How to sort out this problem as I have a project to be done with android studio?

gradle-wrapper.properties:

,

build.gradle:

Answer 1

Change the gradle version to 3.0.0 and then sync and re build the project. It might help

Answer 2

I hope this will work for you.

Change class path 3.1.3 to 3.1.2

 classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'

and sync project. as per documentation for gradle version 4.4+ requires plugin version higher than 3.1.0+ and make sure requires internet connection.
