gradle behind proxy in Android Studio 1.3

Question

I've just upgraded Android Studio to version built on 28 July 2015. And proxy settings stopped working.

I have them configured in AS preferences and in project's gradle.properties like this:

systemProp.http.proxyHost=some.proxy.adress.com
systemProp.http.proxyPort=3128

And yet gradle build fails suggesting I should configure the proxy in either graddle properties or IDE.

Error:Connection timed out: connect. If you are behind an HTTP proxy, please configure the proxy settings either in IDE or Gradle.

What else can I try?

P.S. Proxy works and is picked-up properly from Android Studio preferences, as git works as expected.

Perhaps you also need to configure the https settings

systemProp.https.proxyHost=www.somehost.org
systemProp.https.proxyPort=8080
systemProp.https.proxyUser=userid
systemProp.https.proxyPassword=password
systemProp.https.nonProxyHosts=*.nonproxyrepos.com|localhost

A project specific file that is checked into GIT is not the proper place for personal proxy settings, especially not for my userid and password. But even the proxy host and port will be different depending on what machine I'm working on. What is the correct solution? Where do I place them IDE specific, not project specific? – Bikales

You can have a gradle.properties file outside the project in your gradle user home directory (defined by the GRADLE_USER_HOME environment variable). You can also pass properties on the command line via -Dprop=value. More info here – Denadenae

Could you maybe add that into your answer/solution? That should be the preferred place for those settings. Only in exotic cases, you want to have your proxy settings to be checked in with your project files. – Bikales

Along with http proxy, add https proxy details also. In my network the parameters for both protocols are same. If I give only http, it is not working. I copied all the lines and made it to https, it worked. – Butene

Answer 2

After finding an answer for days...

As Lance said, you need to set in the gradle.properties settings for https (I write details here for further visitors)

systemProp.https.proxyHost=some.proxy.adress.com
systemProp.https.proxyPort=3128

At the end, your gradle.properties file (on the root of the project) will be :

systemProp.http.proxyHost=some.proxy.adress.com
systemProp.http.proxyPort=3128
systemProp.https.proxyHost=some.proxy.adress.com
systemProp.https.proxyPort=3128

adding the same proxy host and port for https solved my problem, thanks – Copeland

This helped! https.proxyPort wasn't supported though just https.proxyHost was. – Gibun

You saved my day. ;) – Cort
