Android Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt and gradle build not working

Question

I am trying to import this project, even I tried to import other few projects too, I am getting below error.

https://github.com/ashdavies/data-binding

I have spent my 5 hours on it, even I tried many solutions on google but nothing gonna worked for me.

I tried following solutions, nothing worked.

1) delete .gradle directory
2) Restart IDE, 
3) I tested with com.android.tools.build:gradle-experimental:0.7.0-alpha1

I am frustrated because of this Gradle and these issues.

Gradle Version : Gradle-2.13, I do not want to change this version.
Android Studio Version : Stable 2.1.1

Note : My other project is working fine and I can build it too.

Answer 1

You can try different workarounds for this problem :

1- Clean project and Rebuild it.

2- Before importing the project, remove the contents of the Build folders.

Then replace the contents of your gradle-wrapper.properties file with the following lines, to make it use a local distribution for building the project :

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=file\:/opt/gradle/gradle-2.13-all.zip

in which, the last line prevents android studio to download or use a corrupted gradle cache.

In my case, it was happening because i haven’t set the JDK path in environment variable. Please check from your Android studio studio that your JDK path is correct.

Go to Project Structure> SDK Location and check JDK Path. Give it the correct JDK path and also set the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
