Gradle error: could not execute build using gradle distribution

by

I had the same issue, can’t say I know what caused it, but I just closed Android Studio, renamed the c:\users\MY USERNAME\.gradle directory to old-.gradle and then re-launched Android Studio.

Android studio then re-created the directory and automatically downloaded the gradle zip file and set it all up.

Seems to all be fine but to be honest I don’t know what this directory is nor what the root cause of the problem was either, so proceed with caution and keep the old .gradle folder around for a bit until you’re happy all is working fine.
