This is a known bug reported here --> https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=188627

The workaround on Mac is to reboot your computer.

Answer 2

I had the same issue whilst running Android Studio 1.5.1 for Windows 8.1 (64 bit), and what I did to solve the problem was by adding the following two system environment variables:

SLAVE_AAPT_TIMEOUT = 30
JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65

(Please note: The path for the JAVA_HOME system environment variable is dependant on where your JDK is located and that the version of your JDK may differ from the example above).

Answer 3

I had this problem on Windows 8.1 64 bits and what ended up solving everything was running gradle in the command line in debug mode, on the project folder:

gradlew -d assembleDebug

Running without the -d flag had the same problem.

After running the first time, everything was ok, I could even clean and rebuild my project.

Answer 4

I had the same problem with Debian Jessie for AMD64. I did this, and it works:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 zlib1g:i386

Answer 5

I uninstalled 1.2 and installed 1.1, but it did't work.

Because I used local SDK installed previously, I uninstalled and reinstalled 1.1 and installed SDK to new path.

After I used SDK in new path, I don't have those errors any more.

And I upgraded Android Studio to 1.2, and also I don't have errors.
