Android Studio :- Failed to complete Gradle execution. Cause: unknown

Question

I am new to android development. My problem is that When i perform Build --> clean project, the following error shown in my android studio:

Gradle tasks [clean]
Error:Failed to complete Gradle execution. Cause: unknown.

The error is shown in messages section and there is no error log except as shown above.

Also project is building on another computer system successfully but not on my system.

Can anybody give some hint on this, please ?

I tried deleting .gradle and gradle folders but nothing works — user7435279, Jan 18 '17 at 11:52

I had the same problem in Android Studio 2.2.3 & I tried all solutions given on StackOverflow. Here is what I did:

1) Uninstalled & deleted everything (with settings).

2) Fresh Install.

3) Run Android Studio with Administrator rights.

4) Added below line in gradle.properties
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

try step 3 first, if it does not solve your problem - 1,2,3,4.

This solved my problem. Hope this helps you.
