UPDATE 17 JULY 2018   Even if the following solution still works as of today I ve found  thanks to the answer posted by Hamid Asghari and to the comment posted by Mahendra Dabi  that simply deleting the gradle dist directory and performing a reboot of the ide  will fix the issue  please read Hamid post for a full answer  and remember that OSX and Linux have the same gradle path    If you still want to follow my original solution  you should at least consider using a more up-to-date version of Gradle  direct link of the gradle distribution repo  https   services gradle org distributions      Original answer  dated 7 March 2017    I ve faced the same issue this morning after upgrading Android Studio to 2 3  To solve the issue   1  Manually download Gradle 3 3 binary  direct link  https   services gradle org distributions gradle-3 3-bin zip   2  Open your android studio root directory  and extract the zip to the gradle folder  for example in my Debian machine the full path is  opt android-studio gradle gradle-3 3   3  Open Android Studio  go to File- Settings- Build  Exectution  Deployment- Gradle and set  Gradle home  to point your new gradle-3 3 folder   4  Sync and you are ready to go

I faced the issue  In my understanding  It is because of invalid combination of Android Studio And Gradle Plugin versions  I was using Gradle version 5 4 1 and Studio version 3 4  hence I updated the Android studio to 3 5 and the issue got resolved

you do not need to clean all files in dir  C  Users   User Name    gradle wrapper dists  and download all of them again  instead you can just delete the folder of gradle version you failed to download  In my case it was gradle-4 4-all so i just deleted that folder and android studio re downloaded gradle-4 4-all for me   In case you don t know version you was downloading   Just go to help menu   show logs in explorer      their you will find idea log open it and search for   Could not install Gradle distribution from  https   services gradle org distribution    once you find it you will find gradle version you failed to download

I faced the same issue 2 days ago and today I was able to solve it like this    Go to this path C  Users user name  gradle wrapper dists where user name is your username if its you own PC or your company s name  Delete the latest gradle-    -all files since your latest update of android studio  ex  2 3 or another version    If your android studio is open  close it then reopen it  A newer Gradle version will be downloaded  it will take time depending on your internet speed  the download size is around 150-200 MB before extraction so if android studio takes a long time to refresh just know its downloading   To check the download progress right click on the new gradle folder  go to properties and check the size

Taking a cue from  Mikel Yang  I found out that instead of deleting the    gradle wrapper dists  folder  which will means downloading the gradle files for different apps on my Android Studio   I decided to change the gradle wrapper properties file to any latest gradle --all zip  So  Find  gradle-wrapper properties  in root project  distributionUrl https    services gradle org distributions gradle- lastest -all zip   this way l get to save some data and time
