Android Studio Gradle failed to complete Gradle execution

Question

I am trying to run appengineUpdate to deploy my backend and am receiving the following error message:

Failed to complete Gradle execution.

Cause:
Gradle build daemon disappeared unexpectedly (it may have been stopped, killed or may have crashed)

Gradle console has the following message:

Configuration on demand is an incubating feature.
 Relying on packaging to define the extension of the main artifact has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 2.0

Anyone know what could be wrong?

Answer 1

What worked for me is this:

Settings-->Gradle-->GradleVM options--> just add inside the box:

-XX:MaxHeapSize=256m -Xmx256m

Answer 2

Rather than what @senimii suggested as a vm option, I used the following instead in AndroidStudio->Preferences->Gradle:

-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/12114284/954643 for an explanation as to what that's doing.
