Android Studio 1.0RC4 Gradle build error

Question

I just downloaded Android Studio 1.0RC4 and I can't build any project, even newly created ones.

The error I got is:

Error:Could not run build action using Gradle distribution 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip'.

I was able to download the zip from the browser but it's not working on AS. This is my build.gradle file:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.


buildscript {

    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0-rc1'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

Module build file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "simple.com.car10"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 19
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}

Graddle-wrapper.properties

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip

I Tried to run graddle - build from cmd, and I got this error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Build file 'C:\Users\Giovanni\uild' does not exist.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug
option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 3.093 secs

JDK: 1.8.0_05

When I hit try again nothing happens, I already tried uninstalling everything and installing again but it didn't work.

Any ideas guys? Thanks.

This is general Gradle file. Post the one with the name of your module. — sandalone, Dec 08 '14 at 12:45
Nothing strange in the files. Did you set the SDK path correctly? What JDK are you using? — sandalone, Dec 08 '14 at 12:59
does gradle work on the commandline using "gradlew.bat --gui" on windows or "gradle --gui" on linux — k3b, Dec 08 '14 at 14:20
That "Could not run build action" error message is a generic failure message. You should see more output in the Gradle console; can you add that to your question? — Scott Barta, Dec 08 '14 at 17:18

I finally got it working guys

I had to delete the .gradle folder in 'C:\Users\Username\' and then I opened AS with admin rights and it came back to life!

Thanks everyone.

For the *NIX user, remove the directory under $HOME/.gradle, then restart Android studio. – alijandro Apr 21 '15 at 11:05
If you have x64 bit Intelli J then you must have x64 bit java with JAVA_HOME set to it and a _JAVA_OPTIONS -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true set for some reason it has problem with ipv6. sucks – AZ_ May 06 '15 at 07:08
It's enough removing the caches folder inside the .gradle one and restarting Android Studio with admin rights. Anyway, thanks :) – andrea.rinaldi Nov 11 '15 at 11:11
Same error on Mac Yosemite. Have deleted everything in site - reinstalled multiple times. Always get: Consult IDE log for more details (Help | Show Log) The log says: 2016-04-11 18:40:45,569 [ 13180] INFO - ls.idea.gradle.GradleSyncState - Sync with Gradle for project 'My Application' failed: Could not create an instance of Tooling API implementation using the specified Gradle installation '/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-2.10'. – pcomitz Apr 11 '16 at 22:48

you can probably drop the RC-1 in your build.gradle:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'

Here's a checklist of things that have changed recently

For 64 bit Windows 7, I had to download jdk7 64bit in addition to deleting the .gradle and starting Android studio as an admin. I had also set JAVA_HOME to 64bit JDK and set JAVA_OPTIONS to -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
