This is quite comman thing at the start.
It actually downloads the gradle.
What you can do is download the gradle manually, just follow the below steps:

  1. Goto platforms\android\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties

  2. Check the gradle version it is trying to download.

  3. Download it manually

  4. Paste the downloaded zip in platforms\android\gradle

  5. Then in platforms\android\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties change the last line to distributionUrl=…/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip (Of course put your downloaded gradle version)

  6. Open file platforms\android\cordova\lib\builders\GradleBuilder.js (NOT GenericBuilder.js)

  7. Some where on line 202: change code to var distributionUrl = ‘…/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip’ and comment the rest of the things in the line

Thats it!!!
You may find it lil hectic… but it works great… You’ll get used to it after building 2-3 projects… :slight_smile:

i did use ionic to build apps for quite sometimes already, it works great a week ago but this just happens with the recent update of ionic.

May be previous versions are smart enough to find already downloaded gradle and newer versions are not. May you can give my advice a try.
