Android Studio 0.5.8 freezes when new project is imported. This issue is observed only for "import project" and opening existing projects works fine. Also for freezing projects the build executes successfully on the command line via the gradle wrapper I am using Android studio 0.5.8 in a multiproject setup with gradle plugin 0.10
Just before the project freeze Android Support Repository related warning can be observed in Gradle sync window. Not sure if this is related to the freeze issue though. I have the Android support repository correctly setup via the SDK manager and the project structure in Android studio points to the correct android sdk path.
I've logged a bug for this issue as well. Open Bug Logged If someone has faced a similar issue, kindly advise (orz)
