And also another dialog box appears as
Unable to save settings
Failed to save settings. Please restart Android Studio
On the top, in the configuration tab, it now shows Add Configuration where it showed app with an android icon previously.
The project explorer keeps on loading forever. The same problem occurs whenever I try to create a new project as well.
There is no modules.xml file and some folders in the .idea folder are missing which the previous projects have.
What I have tried so far
Invalidated caches and Restarted
Deleted .idea and .app folder and restarted
Created a new project to check if the same error occurs
Uninstalled and reinstalled Android studio
Clicked on Repair IDE and followed the steps
Installed previous android studio versions and checked
But none the above steps seem to help resolve the issue.

I know it's an old post, but it's relating to a similar issue and might still be of use:
Android Studio - Gradle sync failed: Already disposed
As stated,
As it turned out, the problem was that I was trying to open a project directory that was a symlink to the actual location (on the same partition). Gradle (on command line) had no issues building the project from the symlinked location, however, opening it in Android Studio resulted in the obscure and non helpful error described above.
Also, some have reported this worked for them:
Delete module folder and modules.xml file under .idea folder.
Close Android Studio
Reopen and sync
So it might effectively be because your module.xml file is missing

For me what helped was (ignoring the root cause of this issue)
removing the project from my local machine
and cloning it again. Then reopening it in AS.
I am on Mac btw.
(Try to restart AS (or Intelli) and clear cache first, before doing this.)
Basically:
Close Android Studio
rm -rf Project-Directory
git clone via commandline (or AS, both works)
reopen AS and import project
Since I don't have time to fiddle around with all the possible options
that you find on the net, to fix this issue, this was the fasted approach.

Intellij 2019 2.3 Exception in plugin Andriod Support

I need help, when on the design tab in activity_main.xml, clicking on a widget causes the error. Also the attributes panel for the widgets are blank no matter which i click and sometimes shows loading but never appears.Tried switching to the "all attributes view" but still can change any of the attributes.
Already tried to deactivate the instant run, invalidate caches, slightly older version of IntelliJ, deleting and re-downloading IntelliJ and "clean project"
the error msg:

It is the issue with compatibility with 11 JDK that IDE uses to tun. Configure IDE to run under 1.8 JDK: can be downloaded from bintray and set via JDK Switcher as per Switch boot JDK steps or download IntelliJ IDEA with bundled 8 JBR from Other IntelliJ IDEA Versions.

It occurred to me today. I think the reason is that mistakes occurred when fetching Android SDK component information. Here is my way to avoid this problem:
Open the folder bin under the directory where you installed your Android Studio.
Find the file idea.properties and open it with Notepad++, UltraEdit, or other edit tools.
Add disable.android.first.run=true as the final line and save the file.
Restart Android Studio.
Then it won't fetch any information and will be opened directly. I hope that will help you.

Just turn off the Internet connection.

Simply starting Android Studio when the Internet connection is off worked for me.
It will give a warning message that it cannot initiate the first run. Just ignore that warning, and you are done.

Please press okay and restart Android Studio. It will start normally.

Delete the two folders C:\Users\USER_NAME.android and C:\Users\USER_NAME.AndroidStudio. And delete all files in C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Temp
Remove and re-install Android Studio, and I used the SDK that I downloaded before and saved it as backup. Then I opened Android Studio when the Internet connection was off.
The best way is, make sure you do the 1st step up here then
turn off the internet then restart you computer.

I suggest you upgrade Android Studio to the stable 1.3.1 version. From the log, it seems there is a problem with an argument which seems to be null.

It's a known bug found in earlier versions of Android Studio and is reported by many users.
See Issue 183063: Start Failed - parameter 'name' of com/android/tools/idea/welcome/Platform. must not be null.
The best solution for now would be downloading the latest version of Android Studio which is version 1.3.

Android does not support Swing & Awt API. So your project should not depend on swing.* / awt.* packages if you want to run it on Android.
You should use the libgdx GUI elements only if you want your game to be cross-plattform. This guide should get you started: https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki/Scene2d

This is a bug that occurs with IntelliJ 13.x, the fix never made it into that branch.
IntelliJ 14+ and newer versions of Android Studio don't have this issue.

Cannot build project due to gradle project sync in progress

I'm new on using android project version 0.82. I was creating a new apps (from scratch), and then I try to run the app. but the build process take forever because the gradle project sync failed, and in the top of the text editor, it says gradle project sync in progress. this takes forever. I've check the graddle wrapper properties, I've finished download the gradle 1.12 in the project before.
here is the idea log

Finally somehow after trying to invalidate the cache and restart several times doesn't give any effect, I try to restart my laptop and then it just worked. the build can finally be done.

In interest of why it happens, the reason is staring you right in the face, at what it tells you in the beginning of the above error-log: "Failed to load help set" or some such. I'm completely baffled at how a project sync or build could affect this....
The IDE is attempting to launch or read from a HelpSet jar, perhaps because you pushed a help button or clicked a menu item. If the referenced JAR file actually exists at the specified location, then perhaps the internal file is not readable within the JAR.
That a restart "solves" this is again odd; best guess to correct this? In my case, NetBeans IDE has a console log that is accessible from the View menu, and I presume other IDEs have a debug, diagnostic, or "console" log somewhere. Check your IDE log(s); it may take a little bit of time and exploration to see what's being posted as output.
This isn't a strictly android-studio, or idea, or even Java problem, either; any sufficiently-developed bit of software or IDE can also experience this.
