Answer 1

You can try out the following to resolve the issue,

On Windows, Change File -> Settings -> Builds,Execution,Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle -> Gradle home path

On Mac OS, Change Android Studio -> Preferences -> Builds,Execution,Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle -> Gradle home path

Else use default gradle wrapper and edit Project\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties file's distributionUrl like this:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip

Answer 2

This was happening to me because I wasn't building with the latest version of cordova-android. so:

cordova platform rm android
cordova platform add android@latest

Take not of the @latest directive. Also be sure to update download the latest version of gradle and include it in the appropriate directory, as pointed out in the other answers.
