I totally messed up my Android Studio and I don't know how to revert it back. When ever I create new project this is what I get.

enter image description here

Please point me to the right way on how to make it work again..

  • does not solve my issue... .AndroidStudioPreview does not exist in my directory... – Rob Dec 15 '13 at 00:49
  • it's look like gradle issue or android SDK doesn't parse. open the android studio and go to settings > project template > SDK and choose the right SDK setting their on the front-window. Secondly delete the gradle and make a project so it will download the latest gradle and will fix for you. on your project you need to use that version if you are using older gradle before. – Anirudha Gupta Dec 15 '13 at 03:54

Don't mash up! Simple, but I only know for windows

Go to this location in your pc C:\Users[Username]

In this location you have noticed a direcctory call .AndroidStudio

Delete it.

Now your android studio is totally reset.

To Get the Preview

You have to set the path of your sdk.

right click on the project folder (app) --> Open Module Settings --> SDK Location on sidebar --> setup your sdk folder

Good Luck

Сreate a file: gradle.xml into your .idea project directory. The file should have the following structure:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project version="4">
  <component name="GradleSettings">
    <option name="linkedExternalProjectsSettings">
      <GradleProjectSettings>
        <option name="distributionType" value="DEFAULT_WRAPPED" />
        <option name="externalProjectPath" value="$PROJECT_DIR$" />
        <option name="gradleHome" value="YOUR_GRADLE_HOME_DIRECTORY" />
        <option name="modules">
          <set>
            <option value="$PROJECT_DIR$" />
            <option value="$PROJECT_DIR$/YOUR_PROJECT_MODULE_DIR" />
          </set>
        </option>
      </GradleProjectSettings>
    </option>
  </component>
</project>

Save project and relaunch Android studio.

Look for folder .AndroidStudioX.X (X.X is software version) at location C:\Users\UserName. Delete that folder and your Android Studio will reset.

if you want to reset it you must to delete this file C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME.AndroidStudio2.2

AndroidStudio2.2 decide about your android studio version for me it is 2.2 delete it and it will work that is it :)
