Answer 1

Disable your antivirus, and it will work.

Answer 2

This is a Gradle issue and you can find it here. So as of now just disable Instant Run. It worked for me.

Answer 3

In android studio,

1. Open the Settings or Preferences dialog: On Windows or Linux, select File > Settings from the menu bar. On Mac OSX, select Android Studio > Preferences from the menu bar.
2. Navigate to Build, Execution, Deployment > Instant Run.
3. Uncheck The box next to Restart activity on code changes.
