Please help with problems on Gradle sync failed:

Please help to solve this in Android Studio: Gradle sync failed: Connection timed out: connect. If you are behind an HTTP proxy, please configure the proxy settings either in IDE or Gradle.

Hey Noel,

Seems like gradle is trying to connect to the internet to download project dependencies and is failing to do so - hence the sync failed message. You will essentially need to tell gradle how to access network by configuring the gradle.properties file in your machines root. You can look at configuring your network settings as follows:

Configuring an HTTP proxy

gradle.properties

systemProp.http.proxyHost=www.somehost.org
systemProp.http.proxyPort=8080
systemProp.http.proxyUser=userid
systemProp.http.proxyPassword=password
systemProp.http.nonProxyHosts=*.nonproxyrepos.com|localhost

There are separate settings for HTTPS.

Configuring an HTTPS proxy

gradle.properties

systemProp.https.proxyHost=www.somehost.org
systemProp.https.proxyPort=8080
systemProp.https.proxyUser=userid
systemProp.https.proxyPassword=password
systemProp.https.nonProxyHosts=*.nonproxyrepos.com|localhost

You can also try marking - work in offline mode to see if the error message changes - to confirm that the problem actually occurs when gradle tries to connect to the network.

Refer to this link for more information: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html#sec:accessing_the_web_via_a_proxy
