You changed Gradle plugin version, not Gradle version

Set your Gradle Plugin version to 2.3
Then open gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties and change Gradle version at line distributionUrl

user_10789722 · Answer

Please follow these steps :

Open Your project.
Go to the Left side of the Gradle button.
Click button above image show .
if this type of view you are not in offline mode.
Go to Build and rebucild the project.

The above worked for me.

This version of the gradle plugin doesn't exist.

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3'

use the latest beta release:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-beta6'

Instead if you would like to update gradle, update the distributionUrl in gradle-wrapper.properties.

I resolve my problem removing proxy configuration in file gradle.properties

user_2822643 · Answer

I've got this error, and the problem was the antivirus Avast blocking android studio from download the files.

so I've disabled it temporary and also runned Android studio as an admin. this solved the problem.

user_4198372 · Answer

In my case, I add maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' } at top of build script.

user_14437072 · Answer

Go to the gradle wrapper properties and see if the gradle version in the distribution url matches the one in the build.gradle classpath's

user_1465579 · Answer

I updated following line of

code: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3' 
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'

and distributionUrl in gradle-wrapper.properties 'distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/‌gradle-3.3-all.zip'

and MOST IMPORTANT is FILE>SETTING>Build,Execution,Deployment>Build Tools>Gradles: Project-level settings: checked :Use default gradle wrapper(recommended)
