Question

I've just installed Android Studio 1.3 into my Ubuntu 14.04 (64bit). I created a new project and after finishing the process Android Studio shows "Gradle 'MyApplication' project refresh failed" .

I found same type of questions in Stackoverflow but any of the solution didn't fit for me. I couldn't figure out the problem.

Here are some screenshots:

1. After creating a new project it shows the following message:

2. When I opened the gradle-wrapper.properties file,I found as following:

3. When I checked the directory " android-studio/gradle/gradle-2.4/lib/plugins/ " I found the file " gradle-diagnostics-2.4.jar ".

4. Here is the log file - http://pastebin.com/QdXxCVc6

Please help me to solve the problem.

Answer 1

I had the same problem today when I upgraded from Android Studio 1.4 to 1.5. After some googling and checking stackoverflow threads I managed to found a solution by following these steps:-

1. Create a new project and if that new project gets created successfully
2. Open the gradle-wrapper.properties file
3. Check the following line

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.8-all.zip

4. Take the version (in this example it's gradle-2.8-all.zip)
5. Update the same version number in the gradle-wrapper.properties file where the error is encountered
6. Do a gradle sync

This worked for me!

Answer 2

this is not really an answer, but since i have not enough reputation to post a comment... anyway:

I just downloaded and installed android studio 1.3 on Mac OS. but i installed it on an EXTERNAL harddrive, both android studio and android sdk.

but gradle is still looking for an absolute default-path (/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/.../gradle-diagnostics-2.4.jar). maybe it could help you or somebody else to track down the error.

I also faced the same error when I placed Android Studio into different directory.

The problem was solved by clicking File > Invalidate Caches / Restart .
