Thought i'd write something on this blog. So here we go...
Today after booting up Android Studio (And this may apply to IntelliJ as well) I was greeted with an error from gradle complaining that there was an issue with my build.gradle.
gradle Error:(1, 0) Cause: org/codehaus/groovy/runtime/typehandling/ShortTypeHandling
From a quick Google it looked like many people were talking about this class def being missing and that it didn't even exist until groovy 2.3.0.
At this point i wondered if some dependency had been pulled in which was conflicting the internal version of gradle. At this point I looked for an Android Studio update... There was one. Woo!
Aww. After refreshing gradle I had a new error message.
Error:(1, 0) Gradle 2.0 is required.
No problems though, after a quick trip to File > Project Structure I set the Gradle Version to 2.1.
Hazzar! It works.. And we're back on track.
