Could not fetch model of type 'IdeaProject' using Gradle installation

Question

I've downloaded and installed Android Studio with all the required dependencies such as JDK 1.7 and Gradle 1.6. I am able to import the projects and modules quite comfortably in Studio, but when I try to create a new project I am getting errors like this:

Since this is the new born IDE I couldn't find much details on this, except for this and this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After to pass much time trying to resolve this, i reached a solution :

Are you using "Windows Version" of AS ?

Please follow these steps :

1 - Install the last version of JDK with respective JAVA_HOME variable.

2 - Download and Install Gradle1.6 with respective GRADLE_HOME variable,

http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/userguide_single.html#installation.

2 - Delete these folders:

    C:\Users\youruser\.AndroidStudioPreview
    C:\Users\youruser\.android
    C:\Users\youruser\.gradle

3 - Reopen Android Studio

Now probably it will works

There are a lot of bugs in "Early Access Preview"....

Looks like the latest patch did not work too. Thanks for the work around. – Keshi Jun 13 '13 at 18:54
Tried this, but it didn't work for me. I don't have the exact same situation though I do have the same "Could not fetch model of type 'IdeaProject' using Gradle installation" with gradle 1.6. This is with a project I created in Android Studio. – Akh Jul 06 '13 at 15:43

Surely deleting .android is a bad idea since this is where all your emulator profiles are? – Ian Warwick Jul 22 '13 at 11:04
I up voted this one too soon, ended up running into the error after all :( – StrikeForceZero Sep 18 '13 at 12:26

The error dialog mentions Gradle 1.4

Android Studio requires the Gradle plugin 0.4 which requires Gradle 1.6

Ok. i've found the solution here. rather than downloading and unzipping the gradle package manually, i've leave it on android-studio. so when you create a new project for the very first time after installing android-studio, it will automatically download all the gradle dependency and install it for you. so you don't need to worry about it. – KunalK May 21 '13 at 10:34

I tried the environment variable and folder location stuff suggested, also made sure I had the latest version of Gradle, but that made no improvement. Then I ran Android Studio using an admin account, at which point all the errors disappeared. If you are able to, I suggest you do the same. This was on a Windows 7 box.

For me, this problem was caused by my local.properties file showing a different path to the Android SDK. I do development on both Mac OS X and Windows and the properties file was showing my Mac OS X SDK path. Turns out, this file shouldnt even be checked into source control. Ooops!

The best solution I found is to check-out some empty project, then import it rather than use the "New project" utility.

The fix for me was on the Known Issues page here: http://tools.android.com/knownissues

I changed

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4'
    }

to:

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
    }

Reopened Android Studio and voila!

I fixed the problem by downloading a fresh copy of AndroidStudio. During one of the updates something went wrong so I delete all config files and freshly downloaded the file from the Internet and then it worked fine for me.

If you are still receiving this error when creating a new project, then try opening the project (after error) and removing the following from your build.gradle file in your module.

dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:13.0.+'
}

I resolved this by installing some extras from Android SDK what I did not think I needed: Google Repository and Google Play services. In addition of Android Support Repository.

When manually running gradle you get more meaningful error messages.
