    }

I am new to Android studio I am not able to understand what error means nor i am able to find anything on internet. Pleas help me. Sorry for bad english.

@Shvet I have added it.I am new to Android studio so let me know if it not project level one — Samvid Kulkarni, Apr 11 '15 at 09:19
if you will check there are 2 gradle file one is for whole project and one is for module and it is written in `build.gradle(here)`. — Shvet, Apr 11 '15 at 09:21
yes. there is no problem in your gradle file. it is correct. error is from server to download it. your firewall may be trying to block it. — Shvet, Apr 11 '15 at 09:31
I dont have any firewall and anti-virus is disabled as well. Also i am running in administrator mode just to be on safe side. — Samvid Kulkarni, Apr 11 '15 at 09:37

I just have the same problem, please update if you find a solution :) — George, Apr 11 '15 at 09:44
This worked for me: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29576097/gradle-sync-error-in-android-studio-when-importing-project (removing the .gradle folder) — George, Apr 11 '15 at 09:53
I deleted the main one, the one that was installed in my home directory. (well, deleted = copied it to another directory) — George, Apr 11 '15 at 10:06
I am using Emanuel Fonseca's method and it is working currently. — Samvid Kulkarni, Apr 11 '15 at 10:15

As a temporary workaround you may download Gradle over http instead of https.

Edit gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties, that should be available at the root of your project, and change distributionUrl to:

distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip

I am using your method and AS is downloading gradle so waiting for it to finished downloading. Will post the status after that. – Samvid Kulkarni Apr 11 '15 at 10:11
This is working for me. I guess when the certificate has been fixed, I'll update it back to https – bcpettifer Apr 11 '15 at 10:56
This method is perfect. It worked. The official link to gradles doesnt have https, instead it is http still Android Studio uses https – Samvid Kulkarni Apr 11 '15 at 11:01
As a reminder, this might be a good thing to add to a `git stash` operation so you don't always leave it this way. Awesome catch for what was busted. – Wyatt Apr 11 '15 at 21:07

I think the site, https://services.gradle.org/distributions/ has wrongly configured ssl certificate issue. The certificate used for that domain is not a proper one for the domain name. Not trusted certificate

I think you should wait until Gradleware fixes it, and in the meantime, you can temporarily use Emanuel's workaround.

By the way, I had asked Gradleware about this issue before putting my answer here as I'm having the same one. I hope they'll fix it soon. – Kevin Lee Apr 11 '15 at 10:57
hope they fix it soon. Thanks for the help. – Samvid Kulkarni Apr 11 '15 at 11:05
@user3933143 FYI, I think the certificate issue has been fixed. I no longer have this problem. I guess you should be fine now too. – Kevin Lee Apr 11 '15 at 23:46

I just encountered the same problem.

Please change your DNS server setting and reconnect to the Internet. Afterwards, try Gradle sync again.

Google Public DNS

For example, you can make use of the Google Public DNS, which is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

OpenDNS

OpenDNS is an alternative.

Just add this line in gradle setting so that your service can be update distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip
