I had the same problem, my problem was that the user running studio android did not have permissions to affect the root directory of android. In my case I gave permissions to that directory with the command:

chdown -R myuser /opt/android-studio/

Are you behind a firewall? You might need to do this in the project build.gradle: 

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