title: Android Studio installation doesn't work with gradle
body: <p>I am absolute beginner with Android Studio (especially Gradle) and having big trouble getting Android Studio to work. I downloaded and installed the most recent version of Android Studio (0.8.0). I have set the JDK_HOME variable. However, after I create a new project, I always receive the following message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error:Unknown host 'jcenter.bintray.com'. 
  Enable Gradle 'offline mode' and sync project.
  Learn about configuring HTTP proxies in Gradle
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I try to compile the project, I get the following message dialog:</p>

  <p>After reading a post, I manually downloaded the Gradle binaries (latest, 2.0), extracted it onto the local drive, went to Settings and set the Gradle path to the respective directory using the following:</p>

  <p>I also tweaked the build.gradle file under the project to point to the latest Gradle 2.0 version. However, now I get the following error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error:A problem occurred configuring root project 'HelloAndroidStudio'.
  Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'.
  Could not resolve com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.+.
  Required by:
    :HelloAndroidStudio:unspecified
      Failed to list versions for com.android.tools.build:gradle.
      Unable to load Maven meta-data from     http://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/maven-metadata.xml.

  <p>Please can someone help. Being my first time with Gradle, I have been trying for so many days without any clue to the problem. Thanks.</p>
