Could not create an instance of Tooling API implementation using the specified Gradle installation

I just downloaded and installed the latest version of android studio (v 1.4). After creating a new project, I see this error about the gradle refresh failure:

Error: Could not create an instance of Tooling API implementation using the specified Gradle installation '/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-2.4'.

I've tried so many different things that I have found online and no fix. When I open the layout window of the project it says "Gradle project sync failed..."

I am not sure what the error means at all and also do not know how to use any other different version of it.

Add lines at the end of eclipse.ini

--illegal-access=warn
--add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/java.io=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED

Deleting everything in /Library/Java/Extensions/ fixed this for me.
