I used to run android studio through a proxy, it was called "wall" so I had it configured that way.
I upgraded to Android Studio 3.2 and additionally had to stop using it so I am connected to the internet through a proxy free connection.
I went to my settings->Appearance&Behaviour->System Settings->HTTP Proxy and set the option to No proxy
I search throughout my project for a reference to wall and I couldn't find anything
However when I try to build, gradle tries to download a file ( 'https://jcenter.bintray.com/org/jetbrains/kotlin/kotlin-gradle-plugin/1.2.61/kotlin-gradle-plugin-1.2.61.pom' ) which I can download normally through my browser and I get the Unknown host 'wall'. You may need to adjust the proxy settings in Gradle.
I tried with a brand new project and get the same.
I tried deleting the C:\Users\(username)\.AndroidStudio3.2
folder and again the same message.
Can someone please provide me with a solution?
After some hours of searching it seems that the problem was that gradle seems to keep a backup of gradle.options (or I may have done it through an option in android studio) in
C:\Users\(username)\.gradle\
so even though I removed all references to my proxy, it still kept those and ignored thegradle.properties
file in my project.When I removed the entries to my proxy, it worked fine
