I've downloaded and installed Android Studio with all the required dependencies such as JDK 1.7 and Gradle 1.6. I am able to import the projects and modules quite comfortably in Studio, but when I try to create a new project I am getting errors like this:
Since this is the new born IDE I couldn't find much details on this, except for this and this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
After to pass much time trying to resolve this, i reached a solution :
Are you using "Windows Version" of AS ?
Please follow these steps :
1 - Install the last version of JDK with respective JAVA_HOME variable.
2 - Download and Install Gradle1.6 with respective GRADLE_HOME variable,
http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/userguide_single.html#installation.
2 - Delete these folders:
C:\Users\youruser\.AndroidStudioPreview
C:\Users\youruser\.android
C:\Users\youruser\.gradle
3 - Reopen Android Studio
Now probably it will works
There are a lot of bugs in "Early Access Preview"....
The error dialog mentions Gradle 1.4
Android Studio requires the Gradle plugin 0.4 which requires Gradle 1.6
I tried the environment variable and folder location stuff suggested, also made sure I had the latest version of Gradle, but that made no improvement. Then I ran Android Studio using an admin account, at which point all the errors disappeared. If you are able to, I suggest you do the same.
This was on a Windows 7 box.
For me, this problem was caused by my local.properties file showing a different path to the Android SDK. I do development on both Mac OS X and Windows and the properties file was showing my Mac OS X SDK path. Turns out, this file shouldnt even be checked into source control. Ooops!
The fix for me was on the Known Issues page here: http://tools.android.com/knownissues
I changed
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4'
}
to:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
}
Reopened Android Studio and voila!
The best solution I found is to check-out some empty project, then import it rather than use the "New project" utility.
I fixed the problem by downloading a fresh copy of AndroidStudio. During one of the updates something went wrong so I delete all config files and freshly downloaded the file from the Internet and then it worked fine for me.
(I'm on a Mac)
If you are still receiving this error when creating a new project, then try opening the project (after error) and removing the following from your build.gradle file in your module.
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:13.0.+'
}
I resolved this by installing some extras from Android SDK what I did not think I needed: Google Repository and Google Play services. In addition of Android Support Repository.
When manually running gradle you get more meaningful error messages.
