Upgraded AndroidStudio to 3.4.1 and gradle problems

Question

I have upgraded an Android Project from 3.2 to 3.4.1 and now I have gradle Problems.

The only indication is the bar at the top

and a message in the Event Log.

Gradle sync failed: EventQueue.isDispatchThread()=false Toolkit.getEventQueue()=com.intellij.ide.IdeEventQueue@34e0424
            Current thread: Thread[ApplicationImpl pooled thread 19,4,Idea Thread Group] 388194366
            SystemEventQueueThread: Thread[AWT-EventQueue-0,6,Idea Thread Group] 847161915 (1 s 526 ms)

I have cleaned rebuilt project.

Clicking on Open Build View -> nothing happens.

Log File contains:

Howto analyse this, How to get a meaningfull message. Its very frustrating to be blind every upgrade of Androidstudio. Is there a way to execute the sync by console / terminal ?

Update I could restrict the case. I found out this happens only if I am adding a android library (module). I can't understand why thi happens.

Update 2 I found the solution for me. The upgrade process added the following into my gradle script, which caused the problem. After removing it worked:

compileOptions.encoding = 'ISO-8859-1' productFlavors { }

The question is still open. How can we analyse this kind of issue in a professional way. I had to compare files without knowing without any contextual path.

Answer 1

Though not in Android Studio 3.4.1, but I got a very similar error message in a newer version (4.1.3), so I ended up here. For me the problem was that Kotlin version that is used for Gradle differed from the IDE plugin version.

The message was:

Gradle sync failed: EventQueue.isDispatchThread()=false Toolkit.getEventQueue()=com.intellij.ide.IdeEventQueue@3e2d155f
Current thread: Thread[ApplicationImpl pooled thread 6,4,Idea Thread Group] 219783907 
SystemEventQueueThread: Thread[AWT-EventQueue-0,6,Idea Thread Group] 255359391 

Make sure that ext.kotlin_version in your buildscript is the same as the plugin version (File/Settings/Plugins in Android Studio 4.1.3).

Answer 2

It was good for me. Download some components:

Answer 3

I used this trick to fix the problem I had with my gradle. First get a good internet connection and go to your local disk C: \Users \YourUsername. You will see a .gradle file there. Delete it and run android studio again for it to download everything again.
