Gradle Error

I am getting an error listed in Gradle Sync Issue " The project encoding (windows-1252) does not match the encoding specified in the Gradle build files (UTF-8). This can lead to serious bugs."

What do I do? I did download the Android Studio 1.2.2 directly from the website. Could that be the issue?

Hey Sonya!

I got the same issue. Your android studio version is fine. This isn't an error you need to worry about, but if you want it to go away you need to follow these steps: For all new projects: File -> Other Settings -> Editor -> File Encodings and then you can change both your IDE Encoding and Project Encoding to UTF-8. This option should set all your projects to use UTF-8. For current project: File -> Settings -> Editor -> File Encodings lets you change the setting to UTF-8 for your current project.

Hope this helps! :)
