Android studio, configure gradle project takes forever

Question

After changing the gradle build file to use gradle build tool 0.8.+,

classpath \'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.8.+\'

my Android studio

Answer 1

I have centos 7 64 bits installed on a virtualbox 5.0.16 virtual machine and gradle version 2.10 with Android Studio 2.0

The log file of gradle is located at $HOME/.gradle/daemon/2.10 Log file: daemon-.out.log

By inspecting this log file I found out that libz.so.1 was not found by aapt.

Despite that command "locate libz.so.1" output was

/usr/lib64/libz.so
/usr/lib64/libz.so.1
/usr/lib64/libz.so.1.2.7

aapt was not able to find it.

In order to solve the issue I had to execute

yum install zlib.i686

Once installed, Gradle started compiling. Good luck!
