Testing creation of new projec on this C10 release (unofficial achieved when you asked me to test, among them: https://issuetracker.google.com/155218380) build :

Android Studio 4.1 Canary 10
Build #AI-201.6487.11.41.6475897, built on May 8, 2020
Runtime version: 1.8.0_242-release-1644-b01 amd64
VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Windows 10 10.0
GC: ParNew, ConcurrentMarkSweep
Memory: 1886M
Cores: 4
Registry: ide.windowSystem.autoShowProcessPopup=true, documentation.show.toolbar=true, ide.new.welcome.screen.force=true, debugger.watches.in.variables=false

And got this message:

Minimum supported Gradle version is 6.5-milestone-1. Current version is 6.4-rc-2.

Please fix the project's Gradle settings.
Fix Gradle wrapper and re-import project
Open Gradle wrapper properties
Gradle Settings.

Which is a somehow known problem (to old gradle), upgraded gradle to 6.5-milestone-1, (restarted AS) and compiled the app, and it worked flawlessly.

This tells me it is AS4.1C10 is broken between 201.6487.11.41.6475897 and 201.7223.91.41.6507185 somewhere...

Just confirming: Tried reinstall of AS (unizp, move), but same thing happened.

#1 Thanks so much for the report and for the attached log!

Looking at the logs, I can see 100+ exceptions similar to:

java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <:> at index 93: C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio Preview 4.1 Canary 10 up\bin\studio64.exe.vmoptions,C:\Users\Roar\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudioPreview4.1\studio64.exe.vmoptions
	at sun.nio.fs.WindowsPathParser.normalize(WindowsPathParser.java:182)
	at sun.nio.fs.WindowsPathParser.parse(WindowsPathParser.java:153)
	at sun.nio.fs.WindowsPathParser.parse(WindowsPathParser.java:77)
	at sun.nio.fs.WindowsPath.parse(WindowsPath.java:94)
	at sun.nio.fs.WindowsFileSystem.getPath(WindowsFileSystem.java:255)
	at java.nio.file.Paths.get(Paths.java:84)
	at com.intellij.openapi.application.PathManager.isUnderHomeDirectory(PathManager.java:129)
	at com.intellij.diagnostic.VMOptions.getWriteFile(VMOptions.java:198)
        ...

It seems the problem starts somewhere inside getWriteFile()

Looking at getWriteFile() method and the call stack:

  @Nullable
  public static File getWriteFile() {
    String vmOptionsFile = System.getProperty("jb.vmOptionsFile");
    if (vmOptionsFile == null) {
      // launchers should specify a path to a VM options file used to configure a JVM
      return null;
    }

    vmOptionsFile = new File(vmOptionsFile).getAbsolutePath();
    if (!PathManager.isUnderHomeDirectory(vmOptionsFile)) {
        ...

If I get the exception right, it seems that System.getProperty("jb.vmOptionsFile") is returning two comma separated files (instead of the expected one):

C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio Preview 4.1 Canary 10 up\bin\studio64.exe.vmoptions\ , C:\Users\Roar\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudioPreview4.1\studio64.exe.vmoptions

If I search for jb.vmOptionsFile I can see a few references in windows batch files, and we recently made changes to them (ie executable-template.bat).

Dana, Raluca, any ideas?

My remedy for this is to start up a pre C9 version and create the project there, close that IDE after one primary build and open it again in C10. Pre C9 creates the directories correctly.

Note that this is also a problem with AS 4.2 Canary 1:

Android Studio 4.2 Canary 1
Build #AI-201.7223.91.42.6568795, built on June 8, 2020
Runtime version: 1.8.0_242-release-1644-b3-6222593 amd64
VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Linux 5.3.0-59-generic
GC: ParNew, ConcurrentMarkSweep
Memory: 1927M
Cores: 8
Registry: ide.new.welcome.screen.force=true, debugger.watches.in.variables=false
Non-Bundled Plugins: CheckStyle-IDEA, siosio.kodkod
Current Desktop: ubuntu:GNOME

Fixed by Change Ic738804749 for 4.1 Beta 2 and 4.2 Canary 2.

Found a remedy that might work (tested in AS4.2C1):

1. Create project with project template (I.E 'Navigation Drawer Activity').
2. Wait for creation process to silence... your project structure may be expanded and may look strange, but nothing seems to happen.
3. Quit AS
4. Start AS, open your newly created project (if it isn't already opening), the project structure seems more familiar.
5. Build->Rebuild project.
6. Run project.

Note that this is still a bug in Android Studio 4.2 Canary 2:

Linked issue (https://issuetracker.google.com/156772383) says that that issue should be fixed in AS4.2C2, but there is no reference to it in Android Studio Release Updates blog. AS4.1B2 has a link to that issue in the blog (https://androidstudio.googleblog.com/2020/06/android-studio-41-beta-2-available.html). Will the fix will be in AS4.2C3 ?

Confirming #13 that issue is not solved in AS4.1C2, remedy in #12 still works in AS4.2C2.

Have not checked AS4.1B2.

RG

Confirming that AS4.1B1 and B2 still has issues with this situation, you should unlink this as a separate situation.

Remedy in #12 is still valid for AS4.1B2.

Note that this is still a bug in Android Studio 4.2 Canary 3:
