There are 2 solutions mentioned in existing answers that might work  but the preferred one - manually download gradle for gradlew  is lack of essential details  and cause it fail  So  I would add a summary with missing details to save the unnecessary time wasted  in case others encounter into the same issue    There are 2 possible solutions     Solution A  Use location gradle  and delete gradlew related files   not recommend     Refer to this answer from this post  https   stackoverflow com a 29198101     Tips    I tried  it works  though this is not suggested for gradle use in general    And  with this solution  each time open project  android-studio will ask to confirm whether to use gradlew instead  it s kinda annoying      Solution B  Download gradle distribution manually for gradlew   recommended   Android Studio will download gradle to sub dir named by a hash  To download manually  need to download to the exact sub dir named by the hash   Steps    Get the hash    Start android-studio  Create a basic project  Then it will create the hash  and start to download gradle  e g  gradle wrapper dists gradle-4 10 1-all 455itskqi2qtf0v2sja68alqd  Close android-studio  Find the download process  by android-studio  e g ps -aux grep   android Kill all the related android processes  Remove the blank project   Download gradle by hand    Go to the hash folder  e g  gradle wrapper dists gradle-4 10 1-all 455itskqi2qtf0v2sja68alqd  There is a partly download file  e g gradle-4 10 1-all zip part Download the exact version by hand  from website    https   services gradle org distributions  e g https   services gradle org distributions gradle-4 10 1-all zip Remove the   part file  And copy the download file there instead  e g  gradle wrapper dists gradle-4 10 1-all 455itskqi2qtf0v2sja68alqd gradle-4 10 1-all zip  Start Android Studio and try again    Create a new blank project again  Then it shouldn t need to download gradle again  It will uncompress gradle in the the same dir  e g  gradle wrapper dists gradle-4 10 1-all 455itskqi2qtf0v2sja68alqd gradle-4 10 1  And starts to sync dependencies  indexing  and build     Tips    After restart Android Studio  amp  creating blank project again  if you see it says waiting for other process to download the distribution  That means you didn t kill the previous download process  kill it first  then remove blank project  then create a new project to confirm again  Each version of Android Studio might use different gradle version  thus might need to repeat this process once  when Android Studio is upgraded    BTW    Here is the dir layout on my Linux  For Android Studio 3 3 1  which use gradle 4 10 1   eric eric-pc    gradle wrapper  tree -L 4      -- dists      -- gradle-4 10 1-all          -- 455itskqi2qtf0v2sja68alqd              -- gradle-4 10 1              -- gradle-4 10 1-all zip              -- gradle-4 10 1-all zip lck              -- gradle-4 10 1-all zip ok       Suggestions to Android-Studio   Since it s so slow when download gradle distrbution within Android Studio  It s better to provide an option to choose local gradle installation dir or  zip file to be used by gradlew

Like   said  https   services gradle org distributions   Download The Latest Gradle Distribution File and Extract It  Then Copy all Files and Paste it Under   C  Users  USERNAME   gradle wrapper dists   but you have to first make Android Studio try downloading the zip file and cancel it   That way you can get the hash and copy the file and put it under the hash

I m not sure why there are so many contorted descriptions of doing  this  Perhaps because Android Studio  AS  is constantly  changing evolving  Nevertheless  the procedure is this simple   Assuming you have already installed Gradle in a suitable directory  mean that you probably also defined an environment variable for GRADLE HOME  if not define it now  and restart AS   For my example  GRADLE HOME C  Gradle gradle-5 2 1  Then fire up AS and navigate to  File   Settings   Build  Execution  Deployment   Gradle  Now  all you need to do is to select   o  Use local gradle distribution   AS will then tell you it found your local Gradle paths     Hit Apply and Ok and restart AS    Now all the Gradle data can be found in your HOME directory  usually located here  in this case on Windows      tree -L 2  USERPROFILE  gradle    tail -n  2   -- build-scan-data         -- 2 1         -- 2 2 1  -- caches         -- 3 5         -- 5 2 1         -- jars-3         -- journal-1         -- modules-2         -- transforms-1         -- transforms-2         -- user-id txt         -- user-id txt lock  -- daemon         -- 3 5         -- 5 2 1  -- native         -- 25         -- 28         -- jansi  -- notifications         -- 5 2 1  -- workers  -- wrapper      -- dists   Tested on latest AS 3 3 2

Unpack it where ever you like  In Android Studio under Settings is category Gradle where you can specify external gradle location if you want  It probably makes sense to put gradle bin folder into your path
