Answer 1

This is cause by Windows configuration, probably through group policy. The file native-platform.dll is extracted from one of the JAR files, and probably placed in folder in the user home directory, such as c:\Users\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Temp. For malware protection, loading of DLL's and execution of programs from TMP directories may be disabled.
I have a problem with the same symptoms, and I have been able to work around it in some cases by setting TEMP and TMP environment variables to point outside the user directory, such as c:\tmp. That has not been a universal solution and did not work for gradle. The location to which Gradle extracts DLL's can be overwritten by setting the GRADLE_OPTS to point to the desired location. This may work for you:
C:\ mkdir C:\tmp
C:\ set GRADLE_OPTS="-Dorg.gradle.native.dir=/tmp"

Answer 2

In adition, you have to put the set sentence in the gradle.bat located in the ../gradle-2.11/bin folder.
Example:
#rem Add default JVM options here. You can also use JAVA_OPTS and GRADLE_OPTS to pass JVM options to this script.
set DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS=
set DIRNAME=%~dp0
if "%DIRNAME%" == "" set DIRNAME=.
set APP_BASE_NAME=%~n0
set APP_HOME=%DIRNAME%..
#rem agregado por marcgaso
set GRADLE_OPTS="-Dorg.gradle.native.dir=/tmp"

Answer 3

Further to user6823564 solution above, I also came across this issue after cleaning my temporary files.
The cause is a missing native folder. Beats me why Gradle just doesn't restore it like any other bit of missing temporary/cached data.
Answer:
md %GRADLE_USER_HOME%\native
Which is the default location. Or use the setting given by user6823564 and Marcos... using either
set GRADLE_OPTS="-Dorg.gradle.native.dir=%GRADLE_USER_HOME%\native"
or using
%GRADLE_USER_HOME%\gradle.properties
good luck.

1.Open the projects gradle.properties file in android studio
2.Added this line at end of file org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m & Save the file
3.Close & reopen the project
And you just need to restart the android studio and your system. This is getting just because you have no enough free space in ROM
