A temporary workaround I managed was to rollback to 2.1.3 of gradle in my project level build.gradle. No more errors and app builds fine. Going to keep it like this until a fix is pushed out. You will be prompted to upgrade to v2.2.0 when you open AS for the project, but you can ignore it.
Error:Cause: org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.DefaultTaskInputs$TaskInputUnionFileCollection cannot be cast to org.gradle.api.internal.file.collections.DefaultConfigurableFileCollection
Possible causes for this unexpected error include:<ul><li>Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
<a href="syncProject">Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)</a></li><li>The state of a Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupt. Stopping all Gradle daemons may solve this problem.
<a href="stopGradleDaemons">Stop Gradle build processes (requires restart)</a></li><li>Your project may be using a third-party plugin which is not compatible with the other plugins in the project or the version of Gradle requested by the project.</li></ul>In the case of corrupt Gradle processes, you can also try closing the IDE and then killing all Java processes.

It affects me too it is caused by gradle not android studio (but it tries to update the gradle)
Temporary solution:
I went back to gradle 2.1.3 (that I used earlier):
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3' ->this works
If I am using classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0' I am also getting tons of warning message and the output is an unaligned file...
