Failed to complete Gradle execution (new project) - java home different

Question

I downloaded Android Studio version [build 135.1653844] and created a new project. I am getting an error:

Failed to complete Gradle execution.
Cause:
The newly created daemon process has a different context than expected.
It won't be possible to reconnect to this daemon. 
Context mismatch: Java home is different.
Wanted: DefaultDaemonContext[uid=null,javaHome=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45,daemonRegistryDir=C:\Users\gargn\.gradle\daemon,pid=1000,idleTimeout=null,daemonOpts=-XX:MaxPermSize=256m,-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError,-Xmx1024m,-Dfile.encoding=windows-1252,-Duser.country=US,-Duser.language=en,-Duser.variant]
Actual: DefaultDaemonContext[uid=9a6c3945-1d55-46d7-897b-4ed84a5707bb,javaHome=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45\jre,daemonRegistryDir=C:\Users\gargn\.gradle\daemon,pid=1664,idleTimeout=10800000,daemonOpts=-XX:MaxPermSize=256m,-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError,-Xmx1024m,-Dfile.encoding=windows-1252,-Duser.country=US,-Duser.language=en,-Duser.variant]

My Java home is set to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45 and I could not find any setting where I am using the jre path. I searched in all text files and could not find jre path as shown in the error above.

Answer 1

Though I did not find the root cause where the different javaHomes have been taken from, at least I found a workaround that worked for me:

Try setting the following in your gradle.properties (either in %USERPROFILE%\.gradle\ or in your project build dir):

org.gradle.java.home=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45\jre

Answer 2

I deleted the jre from the installation file of inttellij, but when I tried to run intellij, i said that I tried to run a 32bit version of intellij, but no jre for 32bit was found, then I when to the intellij installation directory and run a 64bit version, and the problem was solved.
