Right im not sure if it will work for others but worked for me.

I changed proxyPort to 8080 and used jcenter instead of Maven. But i had to apply expeption to use HTTP insteadof HTTPS. This is what i have in my gradle.build for build script and allprojects

buildscript {
repositories {
    jcenter {
        url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/"
    }
  }
}

allprojects {
repositories {
    jcenter {
        url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/"
    }
  }
}
