Courses Plus Student 1,600 PointsUnable to start Android Studio once installed
I recently installed android studio and tried to run it for the first time. It wouldn't run and this error kept showing up. Is there something I can do to fix this? Thank you.
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'.

Courses Plus Student 1,600 PointsI tried all of those things and it still wouldn't work for me. This is a newly installed android studio. I tried using the one linked in the previous videos and it had the same error. I then reinstalled the program and downloaded the new one on the android site. Both of the versions had the same error and neither let me run the default project.

I then did a restart, downloaded the JDK versrion 6, downloaded JDK version7, Installed JKD v6, Installed JDK v7, restart, download this fix for macs on yosmite: http://t.co/t4eLXf4Hsu, restarted again and it worked like a charm!

Courses Plus Student 1,600 PointsI found the problem. Turns out when I redownloaded it, it was renamed with a (1). Once I renamed it to the base file, everything worked smoothly.

I am not sure of the problem, but here is a common procedure that I try to fix projects that fail to run when they ran successfully before.
If you are migrating/trying to open the eclipse project from android studio, make back up of the project. Try to sync the project with gradle (one of the icons in the menu bar) and rebuild/clean up the project (one of the dropdown menu item).
