[SOLVED] Cannot load Android Project. java.lang.NullPointerException

I updated Android Studio to 2.2.3 with JRE 1.8.3 over the course of yesterday and this morning. I also updated all the packages and dependencies required for the updated.

Then I rebooted the laptop and attempted to open the project again and got the above error.

Cannot load project. java.lang.NullPointerException

Help!!

Now I've popped over to StackOverflow to check the error and it seems the best solution I've found has been to copy the code from all the Android Projects I've started so far into new projects.

Anyone have any better ideas?

And how can I protect myself against this happening again?

Solved by simply closing the instance of Android Studio and reopening! Must have been an instance conflict in Android processes .
