title: How to fix Android Studio getting stuck executing Gradle tasks?
body: <p>Android Studio (Beta) 0.8.6 gets stuck when I try to build/run the project, as well as clean it. It stays responsive, but the Gradle: Executing Tasks message doesn't disappear (longer than 20 minutes is when I give up) and the app never runs.</p>
  
  <p>This is what I attempted:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Invalidate caches/restart</p></li>
  <li><p>Force quit and restart</p></li>
  <li><p>Remove it from Applications (on Mac) and re-download it from the official website. </p></li>
  </ul>
