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

Just as an assist if you go with Android Studio 0.4.x offline mode (because this thread is one of the main ones that google throws up when querying this issue).

From Alex Ruiz (Google+):

If you specify dependency versions using "+" (e.g. 0.8.+) Gradle (not Android Studio) will check that you have the latest version of such dependency periodically (every 24 hours,) even in offline mode

You need to take the plus out.
