Android studio stuck at Refreshing Gradle project

Question

Updated Android studio to 1.2.2 and the background process wont end.(Refreshing \'MemoryCards\' Gradle project).

It has been more than an hour now and its still busy?

Answer 1

A few things to try in the following order:

1. Restart the entire PC, then try again...

2. If that fails then clear the cache for android studio, restart
   android studio and try again..

3. Disable any proxies on your PC / network / Android studio then try again

If that doesn't work then look at clearing the gradle files and re-downloading them. Let me know how this goes please and I can update my answer with further things to do if needed.
