You need to set your JAVA_HOME path, which will allow Android Studio to run. Have you done that?
Here is how to do that:

  1. Right click your Computer icon, and click Properties
  2. Windows 8 Users: Then click Advanced System settings to your left.
  3. Now, go to the advanced tab, click Environment variables, under system variables, click New, and add a JAVA_HOME variable, it should look like this (relative to your jdk version, if its the latest it should be identical).

If you already have that covered I found a solution here that can help you:

  1. Go to your AndroidStudio directory where you installed your studio Like D:\User\AndroidStudio
  2. In AndroidStudio go to \AndroidStudio\plugins\gradle\lib and copy gradle.jar
  3. Paste this gradle.jar file to \AndroidStudio\lib directory.
  4. Download gradle directly from Gradle
  5. Copy the contents of gradle-1.7-bin.zip - After extracting zip file - (bin, media, init.d, lib folders) to \AndroidStudio\plugins\gradle
  6. Restart AndroidStudio

  • Dyna - Thank you for the help. After following above mentioned steps, error "org.jetbrains.plugins.gradle.settings.GradleSettings cannot be cast to org.jetbrains.plugins.gradle.settings.GradleSettings" was thrown. – Sudhir Sep 06 '13 at 14:43

Scroll to the bottom.

Troubleshooting

Figure 1. Error dialog when opening an existing project.

Error: Gradle project refresh failed

Android Studio 0.2.0 has updated the Gradle plug-in to 0.5.0, which is not backwards compatible. When opening a project that uses an older version of the plug-in, Studio will display the error shown in figure 1 in the upper right corner of the IDE. To resolve the error, you must change the version of the Android Gradle plug-in to 0.5.0.

Click the link in the error dialog Search in build.gradle files. If the dialog is no longer visible, click Event Log in the bottom-right corner of the IDE, then click Search in build.gradle files. Double-click the line under the build.gradle usage. For example: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4. This opens the project build.gradle file. Edit the classpath to change the gradle version to 0.5.+. For example:

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

For me, I searched for task manager, opened it, went to more options, ended all background android studio tasks, and it worked.\

This happens because sometimes android studio does not fully close properly
