If you are using the Gradle Wrapper  the recommended option in Android Studio   you enable stacktrace by running gradlew compileDebug --stacktrace from the command line in the root folder of your project  where the gradlew file is     If you are not using the gradle wrapper  you use gradle compileDebug --stacktrace instead  presumably    You don t really need to run with --stacktrace though  running gradlew compileDebug by itself  from the command line  should tell you where the error is   I based this information on this comment   Android Studio new project can not run  throwing error

I installed Android Studio on an old WinXP with only for me option  After install I did the new project wizard and when opening the new project a got some Gradle error with some failed path to my instalation dir  c  Document          and settins      The I uninstalled and did a new install with option for all users  C  Programs     then I opend the previous created project with no errors   So it might be a path problem   Just spent 10 sec debugging  so I might be wrong but it solved my gradle error

Similar to  joe deniable  s answer the thing I found with my own projects was that gradle would output that kind of error when there was a misconfiguration of my system   I discovered that by running gradlew installDebug or similar command from the terminal I got better output as to what the real problem was   e g  initially it turns out my JAVA HOME was not setup correctly   Then I discovered it encountered errors because I didn t have a package space setup correctly   Etc

OK seems like a caching issue of some sort  There was indeed an error in code with the R id some id not being found but the editor was not picking it up displaying that there were no errors
