Android studio stuck at Refreshing Gradle project

Question

Updated Android studio to 1.2.2 and the background process wont end.(Refreshing 'MemoryCards' Gradle project).

It has been more than an hour now and its still busy?

Is this normal and why is it taking this long? its a small app.

Here is my idea.log : https://www.dropbox.com/s/syf12m3lxbww5k7/idea.log?dl=0

Update:

Disabled my proxy settings in android studio and the refreshing process continued and showed me the following.

It failed at the download of the gradle zip :

So the reason I think that It takes this long it was trying to download the gradle zip file +- 60 Mb and my internet connection is slow...

So the process continues when I disable the proxy settings but then it cant download the gradle zip file... ? so it fails again.

Update :

I used another Internet source and it downloaded the gradle and the process continued.

Answer 1

In Android Studio select:
FileSettingsBuild, Execution, DeploymentBuild toolsGradle
click on the button on the right side showing local gradle distribution path.
you will be taken to the gradle folder.
click ok in this dialog box and your path will be updated!

restart android studio and you are good to go!

The Problem:
in my case path selected after the update was of older version e.g:
C:/Program Files/Android/Android Studio/gradle/gradle-2.4
However, after the update it was changed to:
C:/Program Files/Android/Android Studio/gradle/gradle-2.8

P.S:
This solution also resolves following error:
buildTypes cannot be applied to groovy.lang.Closure
