Issue
currently I am using Android Studio 2.1 when I run my App it shows me some error in Message Gradle Build saying the following
Information:Gradle tasks [:app:clean, :app:generateDebugSources, :app:prepareDebugUnitTestDependencies, :app:mockableAndroidJar, :app:generateDebugAndroidTestSources, :app:assembleDebug]

I tried cleaning and rebuilding it but it didn't work. The answer for this question didn't work also. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Updated: Here is the log output
* Exception is:
