I experienced a similar problem after updating my android studio and fixed it by pressing ctr+alt+s then selecting the gradle tab and fixing the location of my local gradle distribution. somehow after the update the location changed from the correct

"D:/Program Files/Android/Android Studio/gradle/gradle-2.14.1" to

"D:/Program Files/Android/Android Studio/gradle"

Are you sure everything is up-to-date? Update the sdk build tool and update the `buildToolsVersion` in gradle.build with the same. And update the `classpath` to `com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0` in gradle.build(project level). Then go to `File` -> `Invalidate Caches / Restart...` Tell me if the problem persists – jayeshsolanki93 May 10 '16 at 14:53

When open your project do not click on error messages "fix plugin and refresh project" it will led you infinite waiting. Instead go to build.gradle file and change plugin version to your current version and then Sync project.

It's probably because downloading the new version gradle costing too much time. It is wating for the downloading, so studio stucks.

If you don't want to wait, just modify the gradle-wrapper.properties file(It's path is YOUR_PROJECT/gradle/wrapper/) to your previous version, e.g.

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip

and restart the studio.
