'First run of Android Studio. Unable to access Android SDK add-on list

After trying to reinstall Android Studio, everything was fine until the first run.

While it was 'fetching Android SDK component information', it gave me an error saying:

Unable to access Android SDK add-on list

I clicked on Setup proxy, clicked on Auto-detect proxy settings, checked my connection (it said 'connection successful') then pressed ok. After that it just came up with the same error. No progress.

Any ideas on what I can do next?

I have no experience with proxy, so I only used Auto-detect proxy settings to stay simple.

PS. I've searched, but all I can find is to go behind the proxy, but I don't have the permissions to edit idea.properties.

I'm using Windows 8.1 32 bit.

Turn off your firewall, and check if it works perfectly, then add android.bat to trusted files in your windows firewall and restart firewall.

Rather than doing so many steps click on set-proxy click on auto set-proxy and then click on check box and then ok you are done

First of all you must be connected to the internet.

  1. Clear any DNS settings that might be present in your network adapter or router.
  2. Either turn off the firewall (windows or antivirus's) completely or add an exception.
  3. Stop any other application that might be using internet hence slowing it down.
  4. Close android studio completely and run SDK Manager to update all the components that are awaiting an update, especially addons.

Then run android studio.

I have the same issue under Ubuntu 14.04.

I setup my proxy in the network config system (it is ok with internet browser).

I setup my proxy with environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy.

As I use 64 bit machine, I also did:

sudo apt-get install libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 zlib1g:i386

$ javac -version
javac 1.7.0_80

Update the following code to C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin\idea.properties

disable.android.first.run=false

to 

disable.android.first.run=true

Try to enable firewall exception like below to make SDK to get downloaded automatically:

Enviroment: Ubuntu 18.04, system Socks5 Proxy

Problem: When I run the script ./studio.sh, hit the same probem. The GUI and console show it is getting from http://dl.google.com/android/repository/addons_list-3.xml but read times out. Even if I set automatic find proxy in SDK Manager(I click "Checking Collection" and put above URI down, it shows success), it still doesn't work.

Solution

  1. Bypass the Android SDK when running start up script.
  • Edit the file idea.properties in installation folder: {Path}/bin
  • Append a new line disable.android.first.run=true
  1. Run ./studio.sh. At this time you can open Android Studio, but when you click "new project", it will prompt: No Android SDK is available.
  2. Install Android SDK. In SDK manager, go to Android SDK and install.
  3. Disable the previous bypassing. Now AS can be opened suceesfully. All we need to do is undo the bypassing: disable.android.first.run=true

It seems that the system proxy works in the SDK manager, but not in the start up script.

Follow these simple step findout this path on your c drive in programer file C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin\idea.properties

open this file

  1. idea.properties add following line of disable.android.first.run=true
  2. again start Android studio
