Gradle 'MyApplicationProject' project refresh failed

Question

My projects simply don't compile anymore. I can not sync my gradle file. The following error occurs when I try to compile:

I do not know what caused this. But I would love to appreciate any suggestion.

Looks like a null Pointer exception .. Can't be certain unless you include the code that caused this error and maybe some background like what you were doing when it first stopped working — mike510a, Nov 12 '16 at 13:06
What happened to me was exactly what is in [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39654466/android-studio-failed-to-complete-gradle-execution) question. @mike510a — Ami Aram, Nov 12 '16 at 13:37
Thanks for the help. I solved the error and I posted [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39654466/android-studio-failed-to-complete-gradle-execution/40565404#40565404) response. — Ami Aram, Nov 12 '16 at 18:37

Take a look at this answer:

Close Android Studio
Go to android-studio/plugins/gradle/lib
Delete (or better move them somewhere to have a backup) all gradle-*-1.8 files
Start Android Studio again and rebuild/refresh.

In my _C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\plugins\gradle\lib_ folder has no gradle-*-1.8 files – Ami Aram Nov 12 '16 at 11:47
" gradle-*-1.8 " - is for Gradle 1.8 now it may be 2.14.1 or something like that – Andrii Omelchenko Nov 12 '16 at 11:49
Thanks for the help, but it did not work. By removing the following error appear: NoClassDefFoundError: Worker exited due to exception: org/gradle/tooling/model/UnsupportedMethodException – Ami Aram Nov 12 '16 at 13:21

Goto File=>invalidate caches/restart and select "invalidate and restart" clean and rebuild it will work.
