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

For me, the problem was that I had set Gradle 1.12 in "Settings..>Gradle" as local gradle distribution, however the project was created by a team mate using gradle 2.2.1

I downloaded gradle 2.2.1 manually and set it as local distribution and problem was solved.
