Hello,

Your first message is just saying that you are not building your project for the current version of Android(which will be the case if you use the default project files since they're a little dated). I don't believe that this should be a problem, especially for learning.

Your second message is what's causing the real problems. Android Studio needs to download some files from the internet when you first start a project, files like the gradle plugin, and any other dependencies listed in the project. You need to make sure you have an internet connection available at the time you are starting up. You should be able to redo the process by trying to sync your project again.

Please let us know if this helps or if you need more assistance and we can try to help further.

Hey James/Natansh,

I have got the below error when creating a new project.

Gradle 'FunFacts' project refresh failed. Error:Connection timed out: connect. If you are behind an HTTP proxy, please configure the proxy settings either in IDE or Gradle.

Please help resolve this error. Thank you!
