Android Studio : Unable to recreate missing debug keystore

I'm sorry if this question is duplicate, but I have spent a few days finding solution to the problem and couldn't find one, also I can't comment in the existing question so I decided to ask a new one.
When I try to run my app in Android Studio I have this error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:validateDebugSigning'.
> Unable to recreate missing debug keystore.

As far as I know, the keystore file is located in the folder (user)/.android (I'm using Windows 8.1) but there IS a keystore file in this folder.

WHAT I HAVE TRIED:
- I deleted the old keystore file and tried to create a new one by running the app in Android Stuidio but like the error said, it couldn't create keystore file.
- I managed to create a new keystore file by running the app in Eclipse, this is the ddms.cfg file:

#Thu Jul 16 17:18:42 ICT 2015
pingOptIn=true
adtUsed=true
pingTime.eclipse=1437041922450
pingTime.adt=1437041922448
pingId=-2893797175409321994

I also checked the permission of the .android folder, all permissions are allowed.
Still, I have the same error when I try to run the app.
Hope someone can help me.
(I know there already is a question with the same title but I couldn't understand the answer, also I can't comment to ask)

you have to check the permission of .android file by the following commands..

$cd ~
$ls -la

then you will see the file ".android", its permission level.. which user its permitted to if there are more than one users. if such a case then give sudo permission by the required user.. In my case

sudo chmod 777 -R .android

You will give sudo chmod -R 777 in .android, see that is a directory not visible located in ~/.
