Gradle gets stuck at either 'build' or 'assembleDebug' when using the 64bit or 32bit version of Android Studio

Question

The issue I\'ve had over the past few months is that Android Studio would often get stuck on Gradle: build, as seen here. Android Studio itself would stay respo

Because there is no answer to this problem I will share, what I have done, to solve this issue. From what I have seen, the problem is that there is a dependancy(or many) from a maven repo that can not be loaded. So you have to take all dependacy one by one and check if exist on the maven repo.

For example I was having a dependancy for "org.jraf:android-switch-backport:1.3.1" from "http://JRAF.org/static/maven/2" that at that time could not be opened.

My build.gradle looked like this:

  repositories {
      mavenCentral()
      maven {
        url "http://JRAF.org/static/maven/2"
      }
  }

  compile "org.jraf:android-switch-backport:1.3.1
