Answer 1

I had the same problem when I upgraded Android Studio to 3.0.1. All projects had this error message. (Windows 10 Pro 64 bit)

I tried reinstalling Android Studio and Gradle manually, poiting to use another gradle version with no effect.

As a last resort what worked for me was a clean reinstall.

• Uninstall android studio

• Delete gradle from Path in "Environment variables" and GRADLE_USER_HOME

• Delete .AndroidStudio, .android, .gradle folders from Users

• Delete AndroidSdk

• Reboot PC

• Reinstall Android Studio and sdk

Programs compiled with no problems after that.
