Android Studio Gradle Build Error: Read Time Out

Question

I have the latest Android Studio IDE installed on my Windows 10 laptop, and it was working fine until my windows operating system made a huge automatic update.

Now, when start my Android Studio IDE, I get the following error and it doesn't build.

Gradle sync failed: Read timed out Consult IDE log for more details (Help | Show Log) (3m 34s 195ms)

I need help on this.

Answer 1

I encounter this error "Read Time Out", and I simply choose menu item: File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart... to fixed it.

[UPDATE]

I just encounter this error for second time, this time Invalidate Caches / Restart... not able to fix it, but then I try close the android Studio, killall -9 java to ensure all java process has been terminated, then relaunch Android Studio, no more error.

[UPDATE 2] I just encounter this error and I fixed it by replug the phone cable and rerun.

Answer 2

I got around this issue by turning on Offline Mode in the Gradle tool window.
