Did you use a proxy? If so see this post on SO – Philter

Answer 1

Sorry for my bad English.
i had this problem in windows 10, but may be my solution works for you.
i search about this problem for 3 days! and found out this issue occurs because of:

1. You are using bad VPN:
   for checking this run android studio and manually TYPE (in next item you will know why i am telling this) file address being download in browser. if you can download it, your connection has no problem.
   for example https://dl.google.com/android/repository/addons_list-2.xml
   Android studio download progress image
2. Your regional format is not to set English:
   as you can see in previous image, link contains a number (...addons_list-2) but because of regional format it not shown in English format and so it can not be downloaded. i used fiddler to recognize this; in fiddler link contained a "?" instead of "2"; so just change you regional format

It seems that you have given the reason but not the solution. Does your 'regional format' mean system setting or software setting? – Hundredpercenter

I mean system setting – Roughspoken

Thank you! This is excactly what I wanted – Hundredpercenter

Weird! Changing the regional format setting works for me. Thanks! – Rand

Thanks :) , it work for me , I'd changed format to : English(United States) – Galina

Answer 2

I had gone through this problem,

1. First you have to go to the network icon and then right click on it and select open nitwork and internet sitting.

2. Then click on the change adapter option .

3. Then choose the wifi network, right-click on it, and then click on disable.

4. Then close Android Studio and go back to activate the mode that we made disable by pressing enable.

Answer 3

My problem is that I was using a wrong proxy.

1. disable internet
2. open android studio
3. it would be a pop up for "setup proxy"
4. choose "no proxy"
5. enable internet
6. start android studio

Answer 4

I met this problem this morning.

Because I did not drop Android Studio into Application directory, It disappear after it be drop into /Users/{user name}/Applications directory, you can drop it in /Applications or Launchpad, etc.

or, you can check SDK directory if exist, try to manual create emulator directory, but I think it not best way to try, because we should find the root cause (like access right, etc).

Good luck, hope you fix it already.
