Getting Resolve error while importing project in android studio, Unable to load class 'org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.ShortTypeHandling'

Question

I am not able to import a project in AndroidStudio because of following error:

Unable to load class \'org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.ShortTypeHandl         


        

Answer 1

Apparently 'org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.ShortTypeHandling' does not work with the new version of Gradle.

Change your project settings so that your project points to an older version of Gradle, like this:

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'
}

EDIT:

As noted in a comment, you can also do:

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'
}

Or even reference other versions.
