I'm getting the same error when building on Android Studios 2.2. Please can you let us know how to fix this.

I had the same issue on Windows 10.
I'm not sure if this is any good, but it works.....

in gradle.properties comment out
#JAVA7_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_79.jdk/Contents/Home
#JAVA8_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_92.jdk/Contents/Home

in \app\build.gradle\app and \data\build.gradle make these changes
jdk System.getenv("JAVA8_HOME")
oldJdk System.getenv("JAVA7_HOME")
//oldJdk JAVA7_HOME
// jdk JAVA8_HOME

add system variables JAVA8_HOME JAVA7_HOME in windows

Yeah, this project uses https://github.com/orfjackal/retrolambda so you'll need to be sure JAVA7_HOME and JAVA8_HOME point to the JDKs on your local machine. Your paths may be different depending on OS and JDK versions.
