Answer 1

I experienced a similar problem after updating my android studio and fixed it by pressing ctr+alt+s then selecting the gradle tab and fixing the location of my local gradle distribution. somehow after the update the location changed from the correct

"D:/Program Files/Android/Android Studio/gradle/gradle-2.14.1" to

"D:/Program Files/Android/Android Studio/gradle"
