Answer 1

I had this problem and I was using a proxy before. I figured out that my proxy is not working any more so i went to settings and changed the proxy config to Automatic but still the same error was being shown.

I finally found that the proxy was also automatically set to gradle as well but when I disabled it, it wasn't removed from my gradle config. so I went to C:Users/User/.gradle/gradle.properties and in that file there was something like this:

## For more details on how to configure your build environment visit

#enter code here
# Specifies the JVM arguments used for the daemon process.
# The setting is particularly useful for tweaking memory settings.
# Default value: -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
# org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
#
# When configured, Gradle will run in incubating parallel mode.
# This option should only be used with decoupled projects. More details, visit

systemProp.https.proxyPort=8118
systemProp.http.proxyHost=fodev.org
systemProp.https.proxyHost=fodev.org
systemProp.http.proxyPort=8118

so I just edited this file and commented the last 4 lines and it solved my problem.

I am also using a VPN service.
