I have started using Android Studio on Windows 7. Created a simple app and have deployed it to my phone (via USB) and on the emulator numerous times without any problems.

All of a sudden I am not able to deploy my app anymore. When I open Android Studio a message at the bottom says: "Gradle build using tasks: [clean, :ProjectName:assembleDebug]" This process just keeps running for ever preventing me from doing anything in Android Studio.

This message does not go away and I am not able to do anything. Has anyone experienced this before? Seems Eclipse might be a better option for me...

The real problem is that previous version of Android Studio misconfigured the IDEA file (e.g. MyProject.iml). It added an extra <component name="FacetManager"> XML element that shouldn't be present.

In the case above, the solution is to edit MyProject.iml and remove the <component name="FacetManager"> part as shown here:

<module external.system.id="GRADLE" type="JAVA_MODULE" version="4">
  <component name="FacetManager">
    ...remove this element and everything inside such as <facet> elements...
  </component>
  <component name="NewModuleRootManager" inherit-compiler-output="true">
    ...keep this part...
  </component>
</module>
