Android Studio failed...again...

I hope someone can really help me. I really need it... Please. Thank you :)

This is like, the trillionth time I've uninstalled and reinstalled Android -- first it was Eclipse. Eclipse kept giving me warnings and I JUST downloaded it. So I tried Android Studio. No different. I get warnings saying 'download JDK 7'...but I just downloaded it..I told the software where it was... Then I have rendering problems. 'Missing styles. Is this the correct theme chosen for this layout'? Then is says 'Gradle project sync failed.'

Why is there so many failures when I just downloaded?

Im sorry! Nothing is more frustrating when you want to learn and the program isnt working! Can you give a little more info on what operating system you are on? I had this exact problem last week on OSX Yosemite... I was able to fix it by following the top answer here!

Super quick and easy! Hopefully this helps you out!

I had similar problems both with Gradle and with JDK. A similar StackOverflow post helped me - it was a matter of slightly tweaking the path for the JDK7 as against JDK6. Silly, really but it took me ages!

Let us know if you got fixed - if mot, let's see if we can help!

Steve Hunter , thanks, I'll check stackoverflow. XCode is much easier.
