How do I set up Android Studio to work completely offline?

Question

I have very slow bandwidth, so I\'m trying to keep all the required files on the local machine to work with Android Studio completely offline. When I click on \"New Project\

Answer 1

Android Studio 1.3.1 has neither

Gradle > Global Gradle settings > Offline work

nor a

Compiler

menu. To access the compiler menu, go to :

File > Settings > Build, Execution & Deployment > Compiler > Compiler

and de-select Configure on demand

The above still uses data but is faster, I was able to load images and maps. However, in addition, if you want to be completely offline, you need to do the following:

 File -> Settings ->Build, Execution,Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle -> 

check Offline work

Click the OK button.

For Android Studio 2.0 it is the same procedure.

Answer 2

On Android 0.5.1 you can find the offline option in the File / Settings / Gradle (in the Project Settings section)/ Offline work

Answer 3

Not sure if it was removed before, I heard it was kinda buggy in 0.5.8 but in AS 0.5.9 the settings is there:

Gradle > Global Gradle settings > Offline work

Answer 4

Android Studio 0.4.0 now includes support for offline:

"You can now open the Compiler > Gradle options and enable Offline mode, which will tell Gradle to ignore update-to-date checks"

Updated Nov 2018: Now you can Open preferences, then search for "offline" and in the results select gradle and click "Offline work"

Answer 5

I'm using Android Studio 0.5.4 (Mavericks).

Preferences → Gradle → Global Gradle Settings → Offline work

For enabling Offline mode Android Studio Version Above 3.6, refer the following answer.
