Setting up Android Studio but how?

Question

I am pretty new to the android programming. I had programmed a test app 1 year ago on eclipse. Now there is android studio and I wanted to try this because it looked nice and useful.

After installing, I ran into some problems even if everybody said its so easy to do this... It wasn't for me until now! but that's my personal luck, i always run into some weird issues :)

What I've done until now:

• I have downloaded JDK (jdk-7u51-windows-i586) and installed it
• I have downloaded and installed Android Studio (AS) + upgrade to AS-Version 0.4.6.
• I have set JDK_HOME under sysvars to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51

First running AS said I'm using the wrong supportversion... Didn't know what exactly it was then I tried to debug my error with gradlew clean build in console.

tried to change

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:19.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.0' <===
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}

into

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:19.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.0.1' <===
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}

which seems to solve my problems until there...

but is still have this error:

Gradle project sync failed. 
Basic functionality (e.g. editing, debugging) will not work properly.

and

Gradle 'ProjectName' project refresh failed: 
A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

I tried THIS with no results

Can someone help me with that?

Additional informations:

• Google Reposetory 6 and Android Support Library 19.0.1 are installed.

• Terminal (ProjectFolder): gradlew clean build

  Results:

  Ran lint on variant release: 12 issues found

  BUILD SUCCESSFUL

• Gradle Version: gradle-1.10-all

If you want to use automatic gradle magic you have to download first google repository and android support repository shrough SDK manager (an icon on the top of AS widow - android with down arrow).
