android studio 0.4.2: Gradle project sync failed e

Question

After updating to 0.4.2 I get this error when opening a project: 'Gradle project sync failed. Basic functionality (e.g. editing, debugging) will not work proprerly'

The event log shows this:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Version 0.4.1 was behaving very well for me.

Answer 1

This is what worked for me with Android Studio 1.0.2:

File -> Settings-> Gradle Set 'Use default Gradle wrapper.'

The other methods didn't seem to work for me.

Answer 2

Load Project:>Build, execution, Deployment:>(Check on)compiler Independent modules in parllel.
