Android studio Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt, not loading

Question

Whenever I create a new project or open the exciting one, gradle not building shows me this error

Failed to open zip file.
Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)

Then I change distributionUrl from https to http and perform Invalidate Caches / Restart, Gradle starts building.

Be sure that you are connected to the network.

Then open Android Studio and execute a clean and a rebuild task.

Try syncing gradle using the refresh button located at the top-right of the window more than once time, retry to invalidate cache/restart.

Be sure you added google() and maven() in your repositories -> build.gradle (project level).

If any of that tasks succeded try to delete your .android hidden folder, located at your installation path.

UPDATE: Try to go in your .gradle hidden folder then navigate to wrapper folder and delete the dists folder. Then restarts your ide.

Actually the issue is whenever I create new project this happens – Hamza Afzal Jul 30 '18 at 16:42
Probably you have damaged libs in gradle/wrapper/dists. Delete the folder and restrt your IDE – Roberto Manfreda Jul 30 '18 at 16:45
Did it but same – Hamza Afzal Jul 30 '18 at 18:23
Try to add manually a dist of gradle in dists folder then go in android studio and link the gradle home to your folder. You can download gradle from here [gradle distributions](https://services.gradle.org/distributions/) – Roberto Manfreda Jul 31 '18 at 08:36
