Error in building project in Android Studio

Question

Freshly Installed Android Studio and started new android project. When tried to run it. Got this error from Gradle

Error:Could not open init         


        

Answer 1

In my case, it was the roaming profile issue. Gradle Sync failed every time I switched networks from work to home. Although I was able to access the network drives by connecting with VPN, still it used to give this error. I had to move the Gradle Service Directory Path to a different location that wasn't dependent on the network.

You can do this in AS 1.4 by going to File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle > Service Directory Path. Screen shot below:

You can also add GRADLE_USER_HOME environment variable with the same value of the location for making it a default for every project (http://blog.james-carr.org/2011/05/04/setting-gradle-cache-to-a-common-location/).
