Gradle Project Update Error (AS 0.8.2, Mac)

Question

With an empty new project, I get the following:

Gradle 'HelloWorld' project refresh failed
    Error:Cause: org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger.log(Lorg/slf4j/Marker;Ljava/lang/String;ILjava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V

When trying to build, I get the following Gradle Build error:

Error:A problem occurred configuring root project 'HelloWorld'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'.
   > Could not resolve com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.+.
     Required by:
         :HelloWorld:unspecified
      > org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger.log(Lorg/slf4j/Marker;Ljava/lang/String;ILjava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V

This is a new installation of Android Studio, and my build.gradle looks like this:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.+'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

The first lines of the corresponding log error:

org.gradle.tooling.BuildException: Could not run build action using Gradle distribution 'http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.12-all.zip'.
Caused by: org.gradle.internal.exceptions.LocationAwareException: A problem occurred configuring root project 'HelloWorld'.

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger.log(Lorg/slf4j/Marker;Ljava/lang/String;ILjava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V

The project structure is standard for a new project with empty activity:

Answer 1

For me it seems like incompatible versions. So, this problem is related to this problem: Android Studio says use Gradle 1.10 - but the new version is 1.12?

Try using Gradle 1.10 and delete the Gradle wrapper folder.

Answer 2

mavenCentral() jcenter()
