IntelliJ Idea Android Project: Gradle Failed to Sync Project

Question

EDIT:

The solution suggested by @Percy Vega on this one worked for me.

Running idea64.exe instead of idea.exe when you have a 64 bit JRE seems to do the trick.

I never used Gradle, so I'm pretty confused right now: I've been trying to get this to work for a long time, but without any success. I am trying to create an Android project in IntelliJ Idea 2016.3.2 , but as soon as I create it, I get this message:

In the message log:

Gradle sync started Gradle sync failed: The newly created daemon process has a different context than expected. It won't be possible to reconnect to this daemon. Context mismatch: Java home is different. Wanted: DefaultDaemonContext[uid=null,javaHome=C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3.1\jre,daemonRegistryDir=C:\Users\xico\.gradle\daemon,pid=5660,idleTimeout=null,daemonOpts=-Xmx1536m,-Dfile.encoding=windows-1252,-Duser.country=US,-Duser.language=en,-Duser.variant] Actual: DefaultDaemonContext[uid=08e53ecc-a9ee-405c-afc9-a7ba8779d6ee,javaHome=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_112,daemonRegistryDir=C:\Users\xico\.gradle\daemon,pid=2336,idleTimeout=60000,daemonOpts=-Xmx1536m,-Dfile.encoding=windows-1252,-Duser.country=US,-Duser.language=en,-Duser.variant] Consult IDE log for more details (Help | Show Log)

I downloaded Gradle 3.3 and saved it at:

 C:\Program Files\Gradle\gradle-3.3 

Below is the Gradle parameter inside IntelliJ. Iv'e also tried to test "battery life", but it gives the same result:

Root build.gradle file :

And the build.gradle application file :

How can i fix this? Thanks in advance.

PS: If you need more information, just ask.

Answer 1

One indicates the version of Gradle inside the gradle-wrapper.properties file, the contents of which are as follows:

 #Thu Oct 06 00:21:08 IDT 2016 distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME distributionPath=wrapper/dists zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME zipStorePath=wrapper/dists distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip 

Assuming your project structure:

 my-project |- app |+ libs |+ src |- gradle |- wrapper |- gradle-wrapper.properties << here 

Then AS downloads it and usually installs it (on a Windows machine):

 C:\Users\<username>\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-<version>-all 

Answer 2

Regarding your error, Java home is different . This is some configuration issue that you have in the OS / application, and not in Android, Gradle.

Anyway

 classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0' 

This line does not match the version of Gradle. This is the Android Gradle build library. Starting with this post, 3.3.0 not a valid version .

It is also worth mentioning that although the Android docs say that Gradle 2.14.1 and higher will work, be careful that at some point there may potentially be some violations.
