Gradle android application build failed with IntelliJ (java not found issue, but set correctly)

I've problem with build my Android project from IntelliJ. I set up default Android project and try to compile, then:

Error: Gradle: Execution failed for task ':app:preDexDebug'.

(...)

/android-sdk/sdk/build-tools/android-4.4W/dx: line 89: exec: java: not found

I use gradle wrapper from ide. I have java on the PATH, and JAVA_HOME properly. So what is the reason of error?

I've solved my problem.

I've set my java on the path in .bashrc file. Probably dx runs from shell without read that file, so I set that in '/etc/profile' and it works.

Your using android. So you selected the Android API in "Project SDK" in File > Project Structure, and when you click on edit next to the android api, there is a java jdk selected? Your build.gradle file should also contain 

apply-plugin: 'android'

and your sourcedir must be set in sourcesets in your build.gradle:

srcDir 'src/java'

more info about getting started with gradle build-files can you find here: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide
