Cause: error in opening zip file (android-studio)

Question

When I create a new project I finish the steps and click on \"finish\" and wait for the project to open. But instead I see an error:

Answer 1

In my case it caused because of not properly configured HTTP proxy settings. Android Studio created the gradle-1.x-bin.zip file with the HTML error page of my proxy server inside. Obviously it won't be able to open the zip file afterwards.

The error disappeared once I configured the HTTP proxy settings under File > Settings > HTTP Proxy, deleted the existing archive and restarted Android Studio.
