Build Error in Android Studio 2.1.3

Question

I am using android studio 2.1.3. I am getting the following error, in spite of clearing the project and rebuilding it again, restarting etc... How to solve it?

Error:Execution failed for task :app:transformClassesWithJavaResourcesVerifierForDebug.

org.gradle.api.internal.changedetection.rules.DescriptiveChange cannot be cast to org.gradle.api.tasks.incremental.InputFileDetails ay be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.) Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)

The state of a Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupt. Stopping all Gradle daemons may solve this problem. Stop Gradle build processes (requires restart)

Your project may be using a third-party plugin which is not compatible with the other plugins in the project or the version of Gradle requested by the project.

In the case of corrupt Gradle processes, you can also try closing the IDE and then killing all Java processes.

Thanks.

I am using Windows 8.1 I tried deleting the folder .gradle in the application folder. Then I cleaned the project and build it again. IT WORKS FINE NOW.

• Have you cleaned your project through terminal ? If not use ./gradlew clean this from root project.
• Also check your gradle files, Is everything is up-to-date and correctly written there. Check for dependencies also.
