I'm facing the below error when I'm trying to import a gradle project in Android Studio.

Unable to start the daemon process.
This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon.
For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used.
Please refer to the user guide chapter on the daemon at http://gradle.org/docs/1.8/userguide/gradle_daemon.html
Please read below process output to find out more:

and this is the output I see:

I've turned off my anti-virus which was mentioned in a solution in SO. But nothing seems to work.

I have solve this problem by just deleting .gradle folder within my application project..

Delete folder .gradle from your project no need to delete main .gradle folder which is located at C:\Users\<username>

If you are on mac try this : 

cd Users/<Your name>

Make sure that you are on the right path by looking for .gradle with

ls -la

then run that to delete .gradle

rm -rf .gradle

This will remove everything. Then launch your commande again and it will work !

I think this is not a good solution; but I changed

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536m

in gradle.properties with this:

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m

And i passed that error.

I tried everything in this thread. From removing .gradle folders to invalidating caches and increasing the org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2512m argument. Nothing helped. I then removed the whole "org.gradle.jvmargs" line (it contained on the -Xmx... argument), restarted Android Studio and it worked.

Not sure why this helped, maybe if it the argument is gone, It automatically uses all the available RAM. I get this problem on Windows only, on Linux version of Android Studio it works fine.

just go to your .gradle folder in pc c:/users/yourUsername/.gradle and delete cached folder
