无法在Android Studio 0.8.1中运行任何项目

Question

I cannot run any project. I created a default project with an acitivity and when i try to run it I get this error.

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'.
    > com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException: Failed to run command:
        C:\androidstudio\sdk\build-tools\android-4.4W\dx.bat --dex --num-threads=4 --output C:\projects\app\build\intermediates\dex\debug C:\projects\app\build\intermediates\classes\debug C:\projects\app\build\intermediates\dependency-cache\debug
    Error Code:
        1
    Output:
        The system cannot find the path specified.
        The system cannot find the path specified.
        The system cannot find the path specified.

any dependency it tries to copy to dex/debug im guessing, but fails to do so. Any ideas?

Answer 1

First of all, you should double check that the path C:\\androidstudio\\sdk\\build-tools\\android-4.4W\\dx.bat does indeed exist. It could be that your SDK configuration is pointing at an invalid directory (though that's unlikely, given how far you're getting in the compilation/build process).

After that, this looks very similar to a similar error on OSX , so you might try the proposed solution there, which is to run gradlew.bat --stop using the Gradle wrapper script that should be in the root of your project and then try to compile again.
