Gradle from behind a proxy, part deux

In July I wrote a post documenting how to build a project in Android Studio from behind a proxy. Essentially you need to tell Gradle Studio your proxy settings.

As of updating to Android Studio 1.0, the issue has come back! After a combination of swearing and research I’ve found the missing necessary steps.

So the new definitive steps for getting Gradle working from behind a proxy

1. Navigate to the “.gradle” folder in your user directory (e.g. C:\Users\bob\.gradle)
2. Create a “gradle.properties” file
3. Edit the file to have the following contents (replacing your own values)

   systemProp.http.proxyHost=<proxy_host> 
   systemProp.http.proxyPort=<port> 
   systemProp.http.proxyUser=<user> 
   systemProp.http.proxyPassword=<password> 
   systemProp.http.nonProxyHosts=*.nonproxyrepos.com|localhost

4. Go to Files > Settings > HTTP Proxy
5. Select “Manual proxy configuration”
6. Enter the same details you filled into the grade.properties file above: host, port, etc
7. Tick “Proxy authentication”
8. Fill in your username and password

Tadaa. This should get you back up and running again.
