I recently updated my android studio to the latest beta version. But alas, it can no longer run my files and all i get is an annoying error saying
Gradle 'MyApplication' project refresh failed Error:Cause: error in opening zip file
Can anyone please help me solve this horror? Thanks in advance.

Treehouse TeacherIs this a new project or an existing one? Can you post the contents of both build.gradle files from your project? MyApplication/build.gradle and MyApplication/app/build.gradle
Projects from the older Android Studio Preview need some Gradle setting updates to work in the beta.

Courses Plus Student 36 PointsI get that same error on creating a new project or even importing an existing android studio project.
MyApplication/build.gradle contents below
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.+'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
MyApplication/app/build.gradle contents below
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.elitehive.codepippen.myapplication"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 19
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}

Treehouse TeacherIf you open the SDK Manager, which version of the "Android SDK Platform Tools" do you have installed? Mine is 20 and I had to update Gradle settings in my existing project like this:
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"

Treehouse TeacherFor what it's worth, here are my contents of app/build.gradle for a test project:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 'android-L'
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.benjakuben.testproject"
minSdkVersion 'L'
targetSdkVersion 'L'
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}
And for an existing project:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 'android-L'
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.teamtreehouse.crystalballrefresh.app"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 19
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}

Courses Plus Student 36 PointsIts funny that I am having the same configurations when i create a new project and for an existing project but I can't run them. I only get that same error.
