Android Studio: Snapshot Dependencies Don't Update properly

Question

I'm working With Android Studio 8.9

I've got a build.gradle with the following dependency defined:

compile ('my.program.commons:my-program-commons:0.0.2-SNAPSHOT@jar')

This dependency is stored in a private Sonatype nexus repository.

When I make changes in the my.program.commons code, I upload to nexus.

The problem is that when I then try to compile against the new SNAPSHOT android studio will fail to pick up changes.

When run from the command line gradle will build succesfully - but Android Studio will not recognize the new files.

If i do a version tick - say from 0.0.2-SNAPSHOT to 0.0.3-SNAPSHOT Android Studio will understand the new version and download and everything works out fine.

I don't want to have to do a minor version tick on every single change.

You need to configure the cache duration, by default gradle won't look for updates for 24 hours:
