After upgrading to Android Studio 2.4 Preview 4 I got this error
Error:Could not initialize class com.android.ide.common.util.ReadWriteProcessLock
After some research, I found out it's a known bug and fortunately, the solution is very simple.
from release notes:
After updating the Android plugin version, you need to stop the Gradle daemon to apply the update (Issue 267099). Otherwise, Gradle sync and builds fail with the following error:
Could not initialize class com.android.ide.common.util.ReadWriteProcessLock, Failed to notify build listener or java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError.
To stop the daemon, you can either:
1- restart Android Studio,
or
2- enter the following command in the IDE's Terminal window:
./gradlew --stop
or for windowsgradlew --stop
Gradle restarts the daemon for you the next time you sync or build your project.
The best way is Invalidate / cache restart or open terminal and type
./gradlew --stop
For windows
gradlew --stop
This issue is arising in 2.4 version 4 and above to solve this issue you need to stop the Gradle daemon to apply the update (Issue 267099). Otherwise, Gradle sync and builds fail with the following error: Could not initialize class com.android.ide.common.util.ReadWriteProcessLock, Failed to notify build listener, or java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError.
