my Android studio

Answer 1

If you are on Windows check

C:\Users\YOUR_USER\.gradle\wrapper\dists

whether the gradle 1.10-all is installed there or not inside the directory.

Android Studio downloads the whole distribution first time which is around 60 MB so it takes some time.

Check the distributionUrl in gradle/gradle-wrapper.properties and match the same in your dist directory if it is not available studio will download it. Distribution url will look like :

distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.10-all.zip

change it to whatever already installed will solve the problem.

Note : The directory name in dist and Zip name must same. Directory will be created while trying to download check whether the Zip is installed properly or not.
