I extremely new to Android Studio.

After installing it, I started a new project. When the project opened, I got a Gradle sync error:

Error:Could not create an instance of Tooling API implementation using the specified Gradle installation 'C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio1\gradle\gradle-2.8'

I started googling around for solutions. I've tried numerous solutions such as deleting the .gradle file, re-installing the program, invalidating cache and restarting and I then tried installing gradle separately. Entering the gradle command got me this error message:

    java.lang.ClassCastException: ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext cannot be cast to org.gradle.logging.internal.slf4j.OutputEventListenerBackedLoggerContext

I've looked around the internet but have not found any solutions for these errors. The closest I've found was this. That question was for Macs and I'm on Windows 7. According to the post, the user never got Android Studio to work.

Versions:

  • Android Studio: 1.5.1
  • OS: Windows 7
  • Java: 1.8.0_73
  • Gradle: 2.8

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:1.5.0'

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

    allprojects {
        repositories {
            jcenter()
        }
    }

    task clean(type: Delete) {
        delete rootProject.buildDir
    }

I'd appreciate any and all help to get Android Studio up and running.

  • Android Studido to 2.0 ,Gradle to 2.11 ,Gradle Plugin to 2.0 – tiny sunlight Mar 17 '16 at 01:23
  • @tinysunlight How do I upgrade to 2.0? All I'm finding is a 2.0 preview. It's not even a full IDE image. Do you recommend any alternatives? I found gradle 2.11. I was unable to find Gradle Plugin 2.0. Do you mean Android Plugin for Gradle? If so, they're on version 1.5. Do you recommend any alternatives for the Gradle Plugin? – jdub7 Mar 18 '16 at 03:49
  • Yes. Android Plugin for Gradle 2.0.Now you can get Android Studio 2.0 beta. – tiny sunlight Mar 18 '16 at 03:51
  • I see common to all sub-projects/modules. in your build.gradle. Can you comment it out? – tiny sunlight Mar 18 '16 at 03:53
