You can download the three changed files in the Pull Request and use them to replace the existing files in your project directory. On each of these pages, use the "Download raw file" icon in the upper right:

1. gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties:

https://github.com/google-developer-training/android-basics-kotlin-sql-basics-app/blob/62ddadeb1ac43a8d23d6d67366c2f488258a35c4/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

2. build.gradle:

https://github.com/google-developer-training/android-basics-kotlin-sql-basics-app/blob/62ddadeb1ac43a8d23d6d67366c2f488258a35c4/build.gradle

3. app/build.gradle

https://github.com/google-developer-training/android-basics-kotlin-sql-basics-app/blob/62ddadeb1ac43a8d23d6d67366c2f488258a35c4/app/build.gradle

An alternative is to use git and checkout the PR's commit into a local repository.

However, I tried updating the files, and it didn't help. The project still has fatal build errors.

@daveTheOldCoder what build errors are you getting? The other piece of the puzzle might be the device you're using for emulation. I think you need an image that has the play store. I was originally using the Pixel 8 API 34, I've changed to Pixel 9 API 34. You might want to give it a try

[daveTheOldCoder]

I'm using Linux (Ubuntu 24.04).

Build error:

Build file '/home/dave/Documents/AndroidStudio/Projects/AndroidBasicsWithCompose/SQLDemo/build.gradle' line: 39

A problem occurred evaluating root project 'SQLDemo'.
> Build was configured to prefer settings repositories over project repositories but repository 'Google' was added by build file 'build.gradle'

BUILD FAILED in 64ms

Is the emulator relevant at build-time?

[daveTheOldCoder]

This problem is not preventing my continuing with the course.

This Codelab's apparent purpose is only teaching the fundamentals of SQL, and I'm already very familiar with SQL.
