title: AndroidStudio (0.8.9 Mac) New Project Gradle Failed to Sync
body: <p>I'm kind of blocked during my evaluation of Android Studio (0.8.9 on Mac) due to a gradle synchronization error.</p>
  
  <p>I have already searched for other issues like that on StackOverflow (such as <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24786604/gradle-project-refresh-failed-as-0-8-2-mac">Gradle project refresh failed (AS 0.8.2, Mac)</a>) but without finding a solution. </p>
  
  <p>Immediately when I create a new Android project using Android Studio, I got the following error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error:Unable to find method 'org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger.log(Lorg/slf4j/Marker;Ljava/lang/String;ILjava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V'.
    Possible causes for this unexpected error include:<ul><li>Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
    Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)</li><li>The state of a Gradle build process may be corrupt.
    Stop Gradle daemons and sync project</li></ul>In the case of corrupt Gradle processes, you can also try closing the IDE and then killing all Java processes.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>My build.gradle file is the following: </p>
  
  <pre><code>buildscript {
      repositories {
         jcenter()
     }
     dependencies {
         classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.2'
  
         // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
      }
     }
  
  allprojects {
      repositories {
          jcenter()
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and gradle-wrapper.properties is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
  distributionPath=wrapper/dists
  zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
  zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
  distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.12-all.zip
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I hope you can help me to find a solution.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
