Android Studio Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1. Error

Question

Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1.
Searched in the following locations:
  - https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/tools/build/gradle/4.0.1/gradle-4.0.1.pom
  - https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/4.0.1/gradle-4.0.1.pom
Required by:
    project :
Open File

that is the error log. I searched in many websites and all I got was to add google() in build.gradle file witch android studio has already done it.

I tried mavenCentral() too but that error still exist. I installed AS 3.1 then I upgraded it to 4.0.1 which is the latest stable version.

the build.gradle file

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1"

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Edited: I can download https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/tools/build/gradle/4.0.1/gradle-4.0.1.pom manually but anyone knows where to copy and paste it?

make sure you have enabled offline working or you are not connected to active internet so AS can download and save the lib in the cache directory of AS — Faiizii Awan, Aug 03 '20 at 16:41
@faiiziiawan I tried offline mode and I got the error `No cached version of com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1 available for offline mode.` So... Anything else? — Mohammad Mostafa Dastjerdi, Aug 03 '20 at 16:43
