title: android studio 0.8.1: Gradle project sync failed. Basic functionality (e.g. editing, debugging) will not work properly
body: <p>Ok here's my problem.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>deleting gradle folder</li>
  <li>downloading latest gradle 1.10 and 1.12 manually and locating using offline mode</li>
  <li>open gradle wrapper properties and build.gradle files and editing as mentioned in other blogs</li>
  <li>Invalidate caches and restart</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Nothing worked, but when I set</p>
  
  <pre><code>"distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.12-all.zip"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in gradle wrapper properties.... it said: "Gradle project syncing.." and I guess it was downloading gradle 1.12 but it didn't download only said "Gradle project syncing.." for a whole day.</p>
