Failed to import new Gradle project: Could not fetch model of type 'IdeaProject'

Question

when i started android studio i get this error:

Failed to import new Gradle project: Could not fetch model of type 'IdeaProject' using    Gradle distribution 'http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.6-bin.zip'.
Unable to start the daemon process.
This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon.
For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used.
Please refer to the user guide chapter on the daemon at     http://gradle.org/docs/1.6/userguide/gradle_daemon.html
Please read below process output to find out more:

Solution 1

IMPORTANT: I done it on fresh android studio!! if you have plugins and such it may not work for you !

I found the solution that worked for me :

1. Go to Gradle
2. Download last version
3. Open grandle location within Android Studio (in my case is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\plugins\gradle"
4. Important: backup your existing Android Studio gradle lib folder (in case things go wrong, as some of the commenters have pointed out)
5. Open download file from 2.
6. Override lib folder within Android Studio with lib folder within downloaded file.

Everything should work like a charm :)

Solution 2

If you upgrade your Studio to 0.2 version, then to fix this, open the SDK manager, and make sure that the "Extras/Android Support Repository" (not just Android Support Library) is installed.

Solution 3

Might be a proxy issue, can be solved by adding proxy address.

Studio-->Settings-->HTTP Proxy-->Use Proxy and add proxy details and verify with check connection.

Solution 4

Another solution is to install the SDK repository as mentioned in the install notes at the very bottom of the page. This happens after upgrading from android studio 0.1 to 0.2 when creating new projects or implementing existing ones.

1. Open Android SDK Manager
2. Install Android SDK Repository from the Extra's tab

Solution 5

I 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.
