just click on the error message that says **re-download...** and wait until it finishes downloading and installing. and while doing so make sure you have a stable network connection — phoenix, Mar 04 '17 at 12:52
I have 2.2.3 to 2.3 updating error. I installed the Android Studio 2.3 again. — Roma Darvish, Mar 04 '17 at 13:08
OK. One thing you can try is delete all the files from cache folder of gradle. and then when you try to rebuild your project android studio will prompt you to install the dependencies again. path for the cache folder: **home/.gradle/caches/** .P.S: It's hidden by default. — phoenix, Mar 05 '17 at 06:37
In these situations File --> Invalidate Caches/Restart... --> Invalidate and Restart works for me. — Nemus, Mar 06 '17 at 03:06

Find 'gradle-wrapper.properties' in root project

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

Change "https" to "http".

pls see the picture.

but what are the implications? This seems more like a hack since we are compromising on SSL end point – Sudip Bhandari Sep 24 '18 at 12:29

thanks perfect fix... but it is unfortunate that the default blank activity app has this issue... – Antonin GAVREL Dec 12 '18 at 15:10
In my case `distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4-all.zip` was throwing the same error posted in the question. Now with `distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4-all.zip` it says `Gradle Sync: Download http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4-all.zip`. It looks like it is fixing it for me too. – Jaime Montoya May 13 '19 at 17:22

I tried this steps In android studio 3.6.1 but it failed with: 7:38 PM Gradle sync failed: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.4-all.zip – JeanCarlos Chavarria Mar 23 '21 at 01:39
Instead of changing the protocol, you can add a "?" at the end of the URL and AS will download everything again, like this: "distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip?" – dmastra Jan 25 '22 at 14:21

go to the "home.gradle\wrapper\dists" folder and cut/delete the "gradle-3.3-all" folder, now rebulid the project. This should resolve the issue, as it worked for me.

I face this problem after updating Android Studio from 2.2.3 to 2.3;

Solution

1) In your project open 'gradle-wrapper.properties', change the 'distributionUrl' value

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip

2) In you project open the project's 'build.gradle' file, and change the classpath

        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.0'

3) At last Sync your project.

(This is the latest gradle setting.)

Step 1 Go to your dir (cd ~) and do ls -la , It will show you .gradle folder. Do cd .gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-3.3-all and check it premission

provide full permission

sudo chmod -R 777 .gradle/

it will provide full permision to .gradle folder

Step 2 delete the previous one

rm -rf .gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-3.3-all/

Step 3 Use Restart and invalidate option of Android Studio it will clear previous cache and download fresh gradle-3.3-all file

step 4 Please keep your internet connection proper with good speed. it will download all required file. This issue gennerally comes when your internet connection is not stable or have slow sped. I am saying this as per error log given by AS. Error:Failed to open zip file.

Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)

If everything else fails, an option is to use a local distribution of gradle.

Download a zipped version of Gradle.

unzip it and place it in a directory. Preferably C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle

As at time of writing, I am using gradle-3.4.1-bin

Then, direct gradle to this directory:

File > Settings > Gradle > use local gradle distribution

Sync your project and you are good to go.

Note: Although it is recommended to use the default gradle wrapper, this option is fine.The only "problem" is you have to manually track updates etc

for mac user just go to the ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists and delete all the folders there
for more explanation follow the detail below

open finder
Go -> Go to Folder
type ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists and press enter
delete all the folders in it
now, restart android studio, it will download all the files again

In order to solve it:

Go to gradle-wrapper.properties from the "project" side menu
Change: distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip to distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip

After this studio should be able to download the correct zip file i.e. "gradle-3.3-all.zip".

If this does not help then you will have to make a few efforts:

Download the zip file manually from gradle-3.3-all.zip
Copy the zip file.
Reach the directory wherever your ".gradle" folder exists. It's usually in "C:\Users\user.gradle", if you are on windows.
Navigate to "wrapper" and then to "gradle-3.3-all".
Replace the zip file already there with the newly downloaded zip file.

this case appear to me when try to open another project that I download it from github so I just change all gradle files in all project to the latest gradle build

build.gradle --> module app // compileSdkVersion and buildToolsVersion
build.gradle --> project // classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:currentVersion
build.gradle --> library is exist.
gradle-wrapper.properties --> be accurate to check the distributionUrl is start with https not http

all of this solve the problem for me ..
