Android Studio 2.2 Stuck at Building Gradle Project Info on importing existing project

Question

I am using Android studio 2.2 on windows 10.

I am trying to import an existing android project. The problem that it took forever and still showing the message

Building 'ProjecTName' Graedle project info

after that android studio is totally getting stuck and i kill it from the task manager !

I tried the available options on Android Studio list:

1. Open an existing Android Studio Project

2. Import Project (Eclipse ADT, Gradle, etc.)

Solution 1

I had deleted all gradle folder and copied it from another project and pasted it, this worked for me

Solution 2

There is downloading of Gradle going on at the background. Just wait for it to finish.

Solution 3

Just Remove Gradle files from your project folder and retry.

Hope this will help.

Solution 4

I also had the problem.

I downloaded the gradle 3.5 binary distribution zip file, deleted the gradle folder from my project, then went to settings of Android Studio, checked "Offline work", used "Use local gradle distribution" and set the path of unzipped gradle folder on the "Gradle home" and "Service directory path" text fields.

Then I tried to open the project with Android Studio 2.3.

Then a message is shown and I pressed cancel to manually configure the gradle, then I located the unzipped gradle folder again. This solved my problem.

Solution 5

Try the following :

1> Try Removing(Deleting) the gradle files from the project folder and then re-try.

2> Try to go into the android studio and then Files>Invalidate Caches/Restart and then try.

3> If the above two don't work do check the gradle,android Studio versions and see if those need updating.

4> Above 3 usually work for me , if it still persists, then you need to check the dependencies for the project. Also try importing some other project and if the same issue occurs, try a new installation of a STABLE version of the android studio.

looks so stupid but ...... very true ..you can check in network operations in background for android studio :-D

[Mark Amery]

Took a couple of minutes for me to progress past this step.

[CodeToLife]

@MBH yes, as you said I just replaced that 'gradle' folder with one of a project I worked on recently.

I waited more than half an hour once. But it doesn't look like always it is network problem.

[Muhammad Warraich]

Same here. It took 3 to 4 minutes. Just wait for it.

[George Daramouskas]

That seems to be the case, we should get informed of the operation somehow though...

[MBH]

[Nishchay Zacariah]

Windows + R, type in temp or %temp%
