Android Studio – Android Studio: Failed to initialize editor | Dolphin 2021.3.1

AS: Dolphin | 2021.3.1
Kotlin plugin: 1.7.10
Android Gradle Plugin: 7.0.4
Gradle: 7.1.1
Gradle JDK: version 11.0.13

I’ve upgraded my Android Studio to Dolphin 2021.3.1 from Chipmunk 2021.2.1 and after updating Android Studio I’m facing issue that my project is showing error "Failed to initialize editor" in all my xml files.

I’ve tried the following:

  • Invalidate caches and restart
  • Clean > Rebuild
  • Clean > Rebuild > Sync Project with Gradle Files
  • Sync Project with Gradle Files > Clean > Rebuild

But nothing helped me out!

    Solution 1:

    To Solve failed to initialize the editor in android studio You need to
    update Android Gradle Plugin. First of all, Open your File -> Project
    Structure ( Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S ) -> Project Then You need to
    update Android Gradle Plugin Version to 7.3.0 and Gradle Version to
    7.4. And then You need to invalidate the cache and restart your IDE will resolve your error.

    In build.gradle : Project Level

     dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.3.0'
}

    In gradle-wrapper.properties :

    distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.4-bin.zip
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME

    For you that because of others dependencies cannot update the Android Gradle Plugin:

    You’ll have to wait a little bit, the devs are already aware. There should eventually be a version to correct this.

    For now what you can do to keep working is downgrading the Android Studio Version to Chipmunk | 2021.2.1
