BUILD FAILED

Total time: 7.294 secs

P.S: I tried to clean project, sync gradle, rebuild project and nothing of this didn't help me.

Answer 1

I suppose, this could be caused by corrupted Gradle cache. You can try to delete it, to do that, you have to close your Android Studio, then stop Gradle deamon with gradle --stop command and then delete .gradle folder from the root of your project. After that you have to start Studio and try to build it again.
