Cannot enable Gradle's offline mode on Android Studio 3.6

Question

I'm using the new Android Studio 3.6 Canary 9 to test new functionalities, and I cannot enable Gradle's offline mode.

In Android Studio Preferences window, tab Gradle, I cannot find the entry point to enable it. Is this a bug or Google has disabled Gradle's offline mode?

Note that --offline option is still working when using command line.

Answer 1

From the Android Studio 3.6 new features blog post:

New location to toggle Gradle's offline mode To enable or disable Gradle's offline mode, first select View > Tool Windows > Gradle from the menu bar. Then, near the top of the Gradle window, click Toggle Offline Mode Gradle offline button in the Gradle panel..

For Flutter Projects

You WON'T find this option (View > Tool Windows > Gradle)

Spent hours trying to find it.

You have to open your Android project in another Android Studio window.

Go to Open and select the Android project:

When the new window opens, follow the recommended step and voila:

You can now find the Gradle view window to the right.

When working with Flutter, this is how you make Gradle specific changes.

In Android Studio 3.6, You can toggle Gradle from offline to online mode (See screenshotenter image description here) and hit Gradle sync. This solved my issue.

Many people have given correct answer, I am just adding pictures relevant to Android Studio 3.6.2. When I upgraded to Android Studio 3.6.2 I kept getting error while doing build that 'Gradle was in offline mode' but under File>Settings>Gradle> I could not see the option to switchoff Gradle offline mode. So I did a fresh install of Android Studio 3.6.2 and I continued to get the same problem. After checking various answers I found that the placement of Gradle offline switch has changed & you can do the switch in Gradle panel as per the 2nd image below.
