Sometimes you must change the gradle versión settings and the wrapper file if you are using a local distribution.

1. File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle
2. Gradle Home to gradle-2.10
3. Apply
4. C:\Users\ ...\project\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-2.10-all.zip

if step 4 is missing, Android studio goes back to gradle-2.8, so i would have to do steps 1-3 every time.

Well it happens to me, i don't know if it is an isolated case.

Your problem is with instant run, because if project builds and APK installs, it can't be Gradle issue.

Instant Run is still under development and has this issue of not working properly.

To disable the instant run:

1. open properties,
2. go to Editor > Build, Execution, Development > Instant Run,
3. uncheck Enable instant Run to hotswap code

There's a quick fix listed on google plus by the android dev team in the comments (post).

Set dexInProcess equal to false in your build.gradle:

dexOptions {  
    javaMaxHeapSize "4g"  
    dexInProcess false  //the magic line
}

Update your plugin to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha6'

You may get “Gradle Version 2.10 is required.” Error. Try this
