In the root folder of your project, delete the .gradle folder.

C:\Users\VipinSaini\AndroidStudioProjects\MyProject\.gradle

then reboot Android Studio

@aznelite89 You have it, but you have to set finder to show hidden files to see it, or do it from the Terminal. – Olof Hedman Mar 29 '17 at 14:46

Go to your project, there's ".gradle" folder. Delete it and restart Android Studio and immediately rebuild the project. or Go to your project, there's ".idea" folder in this folder delete libraries folder and restart Android Studio and immediately rebuild the project.

@aznelite89,

Just delete the .gradle folder from the project directory. It is hidden in MacOS. Restart the Android Studio. Fixed, continue your work :)

Iv'e ran into this problem and deleting the gradle folder didn't work for me. I was getting NullPointerException: null with no further explanation in Event log whenever I tried to debug.

After looking at the call stack of the exception, what eventually worked was pressing the Sync project with gradle files button:
