android studio gradle sync error

Question

After trying a preview version that gave me odd errors, i just did a fresh install of Android Studio 1.1.0 on Ubuntu Linux. I also removed the preferences directory to start from scratch.

Now even with new projects gradle sync fails with this error and i cannot find the cause or other informations that can give me hints about the cause:

Error:Cause: org.jetbrains.plugins.gradle.tooling.ModelBuilderService: Provider org.jetbrains.plugins.gradle.tooling.builder.ExternalProjectBuilderImpl not found

Does anybody knows how to fix this?

Answer 1

Solved by deleting the $HOME/.gradle folder.

I guess executing the preview version messed up something there.

Answer 2

I had to delete the .AndroidStudioPreview, .gradle/ and the .android. Basically it's like to uninstall android studio, but it worked for me.
