Usually this error happens when you're under a company proxy. My solution on MAC was this:

1. Identify the Certificate is being used by your https connections

2. Open Key Chain Tools (cmd+space key chain)

3. Identify the certificate found up and export it to certificate.cer file

4. Open the terminal and navigate to your JAVA JRE security folder:

   cd /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/security

5. Import the certificate with the following command:

   sudo keytool -import -alias somealias -file /PATH_TO_EXPORTED_CERTIFICATE/certificate.cer -keystore cacerts -storepass changeit

That is done. Open Android Studio and it will fix the gradle build.
