I found references to this with an older version, but not the most recent. I updated Android Studio to 0.4.3 and created a new project. The build fails immediately with the below:
Could not create an instance of Tooling API implementation using the specified Gradle distribution 'http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.10-all.zip'.: Could not create an instance of Tooling API implementation using the specified Gradle distribution 'http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.10-all.zip'.

I have tried installing JDK 1.7 and setting my JAVA HOME to that (previously was 1.6) but the same error occurs. My GradleWrapper.properties is:
#Wed Apr 10 15:27:10 PDT 2013
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.10-all.zip
Any ideas?
You need to make sure you're using the correct version of the Android Gradle plugin. For Android Studio 0.4.3 it's the 0.8.X series. Specify it in build.gradle as:
This may be in the top-level build.gradle or the one in your module; the location where we put this has changed in projects newly created in later versions of Android Studio.
