Create new project on Android, Error: Studio Unknown host 'services.gradle.org'

After installing Android studio and creating a new project, I get the following error:

Unknown host 'services.gradle.org'.

Please ensure the host name is correct. If you are behind an HTTP proxy, please configure the proxy settings either in Android Studio or Gradle.

Consult IDE log for more details (Help | Show Log)

How can I fix it?


I was also having the same problem. I tried the following and it's working for me now:
Please try the following steps:

Go to..

File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > HTTP Proxy [Under IDE Settings] Enable following option Auto-detect proxy settings

On Mac it's under:

Android Studio > Preferences > Appearance & Behaviour... etc

you can also use the test connection button and check with google.com to see if it works or not.


I have same problem after update android studio to 1.5, and i fix it by update the gradle location,

  1. Go to File->Setting->Build, Execution, Deployment->Build Tools->Gradle
  2. Under Project level Setting find gradle directory

Hope this method works for you,


I tried above answers and they didn't help in my case.

I solved it with this link help: http://vjscrazzy.blogspot.co.il/2016/02/failed-to-sync-gradle-project.html

step 1) file>Setttings>appearance and behaviour> system setttings>HTTP proxy> set No Proxy

step 2) build,execution and deployment> Build tools > gradle> now under project level settings > select local gradle distribution> gradle home = F:/Program Files/Android/Android Studio/gradle/gradle-2.4

After that, I did these changes(because it still wrote me some other errors)

Android Studio asked me:

  1. Android Studio asked me to update my Gradle version (which he didn't before)

  2. Enable - Tools> Android> Enable ADB integration.

Also, if your working in a team with repositories, it's important to check that the version of the Andorid Studio is the same.


Go to setting option which is on upper strip of android studio and follow the below steps to solve the problem.

setting > Appearance&behavior > HTTP and proxy > click on Auto detect Enable option.(The option with radio box)select this one...
