With 0.4.3 Android Studio, error: “Gradle project

Question

I have noticed that several people are having issues after upgrading to Android Studio 0.4.3 (problem with 0.4.2 also I believe). My error and debug steps so far are as follows:

The message I see is "Gradle project sync failed. Basic functionality (e.g. editing, debugging) will not work properly" as shown in snapshot below.

I found this thread and following instructions, but I still have the error. I am not able to do the following instruction in the thread: I went into Gradle settings and clicked on "use local Gradle distribution" and pointed it to*: C:/Users/robot_000/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-1.10-all/6vpvhqu0efs1fqmqr2decq1v12/gradle-1.10

Do I need to have a local distribution of gradle? Where do I download it from and where do i put it? How do I now tell Android Studio to use it? (as you can tell, I don't understand how gradle works). Thanks for any help.

Update 1: I found the gradle files on my computer at C:\Users\home.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-1.10-all\6vpvhqu0efs1fqmqr2decq1v12\gradle-1.10, but how do I do do this: "went into Gradle settings and clicked on "use local Gradle distribution" and pointed it to*" (as per THIS THREAD)

Answer 1

Well, I don't know what worked for them, but for me worked to add little scripts to build.gradle.

Do note that it's important to put them at the top of the page (in build.gradle).
