Error when adding CardView to layout

Question

I wanted to try out the new toys that google gave us and I\'ve run into some trouble.

Here is my build.gradle:

apply plugin: \'com.android.applicatio

This is a bug in Android Studio, see https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79071

One of the comments of the patch reads: "This was causing card view rendering to fail. CardView declared styles of the form CardView.Dark due to which the generated R class failed to load."

Next version should have this fixed according to the bug report (the patch is on branch studio-1.0-dev). They say to build the project once as a workaround, but this does not fix it for me (even though I have exactly the same error and stack trace).
