Gradlew throws java.net.SocketException

Question

So I created a Qt project for Android, but whenever I try to build it I get that exception. I even tried to run the gradlew file in the command line with the same results. Wherever I look online it seems to be a proxy or network issue as pointed out in https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/userguide_single.html#properties section 12.3. I double checked with two different networks, and I'm not using a proxy server.

Here is the auto generated build.gradle (is there something wrong with it?)

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}

android {
    /*******************************************************
     * The following variables:
     * - androidBuildToolsVersion,
     * - androidCompileSdkVersion
     * - qt5AndroidDir - holds the path to qt android files
     *                   needed to build any Qt application
     *                   on Android.
     *
     * are defined in gradle.properties file. This file is
     * updated by QtCreator and androiddeployqt tools.
     * Changing them manually might break the compilation!
     *******************************************************/

    compileSdkVersion androidCompileSdkVersion.toInteger()

    buildToolsVersion androidBuildToolsVersion

    sourceSets {
        main {
            manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
            java.srcDirs = [qt5AndroidDir + '/src', 'src', 'java']
            aidl.srcDirs = [qt5AndroidDir + '/src', 'src', 'aidl']
            res.srcDirs = [qt5AndroidDir + '/res', 'res']
            resources.srcDirs = ['src']
            renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
            assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
            jniLibs.srcDirs = ['libs']
       }
    }

    lintOptions {
        abortOnError false
    }
}

Any pointers or ideas will be appreciated thanks!

[Second Edit]

After changing the url to http (not secure) or having gradlew take a local file I got this:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'android-build'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'.
   > Could not resolve com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3.

Going to need the whole stack trace / detailed error message if you expect a solution. With just this posting, we have no idea where the exception is coming from. — Matt Clark, Jun 02 '17 at 19:39
Looks like `jcenter` might be having problems? Try adding `mavenCentral()` in your _repositories_ configuration. — Matt Clark, Jun 02 '17 at 19:44
How about ( just to test ) remove jcenter all together? Both definitions of it. — Matt Clark, Jun 02 '17 at 19:48
String, do what the output suggests, then [edit] your post body. `-- For more information, run this command with --verbose.` — Matt Clark, Jun 02 '17 at 19:54
it still seems to be the same... Maybe it's failing connection before it can output anything? — Felipe Centeno, Jun 02 '17 at 20:02
I know it will be the same; with verbose, there should be some additional information printed this time. If you could, please [edit] your original question to include this verbose output. It may have some helpful details. — Matt Clark, Jun 02 '17 at 20:02
so the stack trace I originally put was from Qt which runs gradlew, and encounters this problem. I ran it just with "gradlew --verbose" and that is the output. — Felipe Centeno, Jun 02 '17 at 20:11

It looks like you encounter an error right after

Downloading https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.4-bin.zip

So I just tried hitting this via cURL,

$curl --head https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.4-bin.zip

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Date: Fri, 02 Jun 2017 20:13:00 GMT
Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=3600
Expires: Fri, 02 Jun 2017 21:13:00 GMT
Location: https://downloads.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.4-bin.zip
Server: cloudflare-nginx
CF-RAY: 368d121d6ad9568d-IAD

This is showing a 301 redirect, which could explain the Connection reset if the download code is not handling it properly. I do not know where this URL comes from, but you could try replacing it with the new destination:

https://downloads.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.4-bin.zip

Answer #2

Can you upgrade and use 2.3.0? That appears to be the latest and is definitely available in Central.

so that still yields the same error. I did try using http instead, and I got a different error message. – Felipe Centeno Jun 02 '17 at 20:48
That is really odd... How about trying the suggestion posted [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/30017892/1790644), and pointing to the file that you manually download, instead of relying on the internal downloader? – Matt Clark Jun 02 '17 at 20:51
That gives me the same as when I use http. It takes a very long time and then it throws a different error message (the new error message is now appended to the question). – Felipe Centeno Jun 02 '17 at 21:22
yep: Downloading file:/C:/Users/fcente1a/Documents/Chrome/gradle-3.4-bin.zip...... – Felipe Centeno Jun 02 '17 at 21:31
I'm confused. How is different from https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.gradle/gradle-core/3.5 and where would I put these files. This .jar file doesn't seem to have any of the files at gradke_user_home nor in my gradle file in the project. – Felipe Centeno Jun 05 '17 at 15:05

It is not failing on core, it it failing on the first dependency, `> Could not resolve com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3.` Please try changing this to use `2.3.0`. – Matt Clark Jun 05 '17 at 15:13
haha finally a succcesful build! so changing it to 2.3.0 didn't do it, but I changed the repositories in build.gradle from jcentral() to "maven { url "http://jcenter.bintray.com" }" – Felipe Centeno Jun 05 '17 at 15:51
