Error: org.gradle.api.internal.changedetection.state

Error: org.gradle.api.internal.changedetection.state

I am trying to test the application on my phone. Whenever I create a project, the following error appears in Android Studio 2.2.

Error: org.gradle.api.internal.changedetection.state.FileCollectionSnapshotImpl could not be passed to org.gradle.api.internal.changedetection.state.OutputFilesCollectionSnapshotter $ OutputFilesSnapshot Possible causes of this unexpected error:

The gradle dependency cache may be corrupted (this sometimes happens after a network connection timeout). Restart dependencies and synchronization project (network required).
The state of the Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupted. Stopping all Gradle daemons can solve this problem. Stop Gradle build processes (reboot required)
Your project may use a third-party plugin that is incompatible with other project plugins or the Gradle version requested by the project.

In the case of corrupt Gradle processes, you can also try closing the IDE and then killing all Java processes.

build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 24
    buildToolsVersion "24.0.3"
    defaultConfig {

        targetSdkVersion 24

        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}
