Gradle gives NullPointerException when building project in Android Studio

Please may someone help me fix this Gradle (2.14.1) NullPointerException error that has started popping up in my Android Studio (2.2) after it crashed. I'm a newbie, so I don't know how to deal with this.
I've tried:
cleaning the project
reinstalling Android Studio and the SDK
updating the JRE (8u101)
and I don't know what else to try to resolve this.
This is the error in the gradle console with --stacktrace --debug:

Thanks in advance.

Nothing I tried on the Android Studio/SDK side worked.
So I had to do the manual route. I:
went to the AndroidStudioProjects directory and manually changed the name (just added "-backup" to the end of the directory name);
made a new project in Android Studio with the original project name and package name, then closed Android Studio;
returned to AndroidStudioProjects directory and copied the dependencies section in the backup [project]\app\build.gradle file to the same file in the new project;
copied the [project]\app\src\main directory with everything inside from the old project to the new one;
opened Android Studio and selected Build > Rebuild Project
then just ran the project and it worked.
Now to start fixing the VCS... -_-!

Ensure that if you have local.properties, the paths for sdk.dir and ndk.dir (if defined) actually exist. In my case, my project wasn't using ndk, however my local.properties was copied from a project that was, and the ndk directory was not valid. I didn't think it would have mattered, but i downloaded and extracted the ndk into the path in the local.properties, and now it works. I suppose i could have just as easily commented / deleted the line in local.properties, but that wouldn't have been as much fun.. :)

gradle ndk generateJsonModelDebug failed

I have run into trouble while using this support by google described here: Building C++ in Android Studio with CMake or ndk-build
I have a ndk project structured in android.mk, and it can build successfully with the 'ndk-build' command.
While I add this:
externalNativeBuild{
ndkBuild{
path "src/main/jni/Android.mk"
}
}
problem occurred. Here is the log:

Btw, I have updated my Android Studio to 2.2 preview 4.
Thank you in advance.

I was able to continue by switching to Android NDK r12 for a similar issue.
If you are using MacOS + homebrew, then run "brew update && brew upgrade android-ndk".
Also ensure to have "ndk.dir" set in local.properties. This should help if there are multiple NDK installations on your machine.

modify "APP_STL:=stlport_static" to "APP_STL := c++_shared" in Application.mk locating in jni folder can solve the problem.

Add dependencies on an Android Studio nested directory structure project

I'm struggling to add an external dependency in my project, adding the
compile 'com.github.bmarrdev:android-DecoView-charting:v0.9.3'
in my build.gradle file.
I've also added
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
on the top level build.gradle file.
I have an Android Studio project with nested structure (and so nested build.gradle files) and this is my error log:
23:24:23.997 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.

I've stumbled up on the first answer of this question:
Android studio Failed to find: com.getbase:floatingactionbutton:1.3.0
where it says that, on a such structure project, it's not possible to add a dependency in this way.
Can anyone suggest me a solution?
EDIT
I tried the solution proposed by #Sharj. It works fine to resolve the dependency of DecoView-Charting.
Anyway I tried to add this new dependency
compile 'com.getbase:floatingactionbutton:1.10.1'
and the compilation fails with this error:

Build failure due to io.selendroid:selendroid-server:0.16.0 on project app resolves to an APK archive

I am getting below error during build.
09:34:21.819 [ERROR] [org.gradle.api.Task] Dependency io.selendroid:selendroid-server:0.16.0 on project app resolves to an APK archive which is not supported as a compilation dependency.

I have added the dependencies through Maven.
This is how my build.gradle dependencies section looks like:
dependencies {
//compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
compile 'io.selendroid:selendroid-standalone:0.16.0'
compile 'io.appium:java-client:3.2.0'
compile 'io.selendroid:selendroid-client:0.16.0'
}
I am trying to trigger appium tests through android studio and the dependencies included are causing build to fail. Do we have any instruction that can be included in build.gradle which tells build to exclude *.apk files and not compile them ?

If you check the dependencies you can see that there are two dependencies with type "apk".
<dependency>
<groupId>io.selendroid</groupId>
<artifactId>selendroid-server</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<type>apk</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.selendroid</groupId>
<artifactId>android-driver-app</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<type>apk</type>
</dependency>
You can exclude those dependencies in the following way:
dependencies {
compile ('io.selendroid:selendroid-standalone:0.16.0') {
exclude group: 'io.selendroid', module: 'selendroid-server'
exclude group: 'io.selendroid', module: 'android-driver-app'
}
compile 'io.selendroid:selendroid-client:0.16.0'
}

"gradlew connectedCheck mergeAndroidReports" MissingPropertyException: No such property: REPORTS

I have an Android Studio + Gradle project set up with multiple module dependencies. I am trying to get the unit test reports from each module merged together (see http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide#TOC-Multi-projects-reports). When I run ./gradlew connectedCheck mergeAndroidReports --continue It runs the unit tests for each module, they all pass, then I get the following exception for the :mergeAndroidReports lifecycle step.

Is there a reports directory property I should be setting somewhere?

I meet similar problem. I use a copy task and in the original file I use "${NUMBER}" and I forget to add NUMBER in the script like
copy {
from ant.properties['basedir']
into "${dir}"
expand(["NUMBER":"100"])
}
Add the expand will fix such problem.
expand(["NUMBER":"100"])
