Cordova 6.1.0 with Gradle error

After updating cordova to new version 6.1.0 and android platform in cordova to 5.1.1, when run coroda build android.

What went wrong:

A problem occurred configuring root project 'android'.

Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'.

Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0.

Try:

Do you have any idea how to solve my problem?

It looks like a proxy authentication issue. The reason you might not have seen this issue before upgrading cordova is, that you had all your deps in the gradle cache and gradle didn't need to resolve any dependencies online anymore. — Rene Groeschke, Mar 29 '16 at 08:44
I try http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26675814/gradle-could-not-head-https-pom-peer-not-authenticated but it doesn't help, @Rene what does it mean proxy authentication issue? — Tazani, Mar 29 '16 at 08:55
You can build without gradle too: `cordova build android -- --ant` — Ali Gonabadi, Jun 18 '16 at 08:31

I have faced a similar problem behind a proxy, and I have not been able to let maven download gradle, so I did this solution.

Download gradle manually, place it in your root of folders project.

My folders schema

1. Developer (folder)
  1.1 Projects (folder)
     1.1.1 project1 (folder)
     1.1.2 project2 (folder)
  1.2 gradle-2.2.1-all.zip (file)

Then I made this hook, to override the url to gradle in the gradeBuilder.js, to a local one

#!/usr/bin/env node

//Hook to change the path to the gradle to find the local one, because the proxy doesn't allow
//to connect o an https server

var fs = require('fs');
var path = require('path');

var rootdir = ".",
  androidroot = rootdir + "/platforms/android";

function replace_string_in_file(filename, to_replace, replace_with) {
  var data = fs.readFileSync(filename, 'utf8');

  if(data.indexOf(replace_with) > -1){
    console.log('File already contains required text. Nothing to do.');
  } else {
    console.log(new RegExp(to_replace, "g"));
    var result = data.replace(new RegExp(to_replace, "g"), replace_with);
    //console.log(result);
    fs.writeFileSync(filename, result, 'utf8');
    console.log('Changed Build Gradle Path to local successfully');
  }
}

if(fs.existsSync(androidroot)){
  var targetFile = androidroot + '/cordova/lib/builders/GradleBuilder.js';
  try{

    replace_string_in_file(targetFile, 'http\\\\\\\\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip', '../../../../../../gradle-2.2.1-all.zip');
  } catch(e){
    console.log("File " + targetFile + " modified successfully");
  }
}

And placed it in the hooks/before_build folder of the project.

Hope it helps!
