Unexpected end of block data in Gradle sync [duplicate]

Question

I am trying to start a project in Android Studio v0.5.4, but I keep getting the following error:

Possibly related is that I get this error when I try to access my build.gradle:

InvalidVirtualFileAccessException: Accessing invalid virtual file: jar:///home/alex/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.android.tools.build/gradle/0.9.1/15633e70af52912588608f2675c85c4e11813c7/gradle-0.9.1-sources.jar!/com; original:27647; found:-: Accessing invalid virtual file: jar:///home/alex/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.android.tools.build/gradle/0.9.1/15633e70af52912588608f2675c85c4e11813c7/gradle-0.9.1-sources.jar!/com; original:27647; found:-

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Other information:

Using gradle 1.10, and gradle-wrapper.properties confirms this.

Answer 1

buildToolsVersion was set to 19 and I had 19.0.3 installed. I solved it by changing this line:

buildToolsVersion = "19"

to

buildToolsVersion = "19.0.3"

in build.gradle.
