Use Tor Browser. when your tor browser is connected :

1.Open Menu ->Select Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Connection Setting

then you'll see your Tor socks's name and port.

2.Copy Sock's Host : Ip for example 127.0.0.1:9150

leave tor browser open

4.Go to Android Studio ->Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> HTTP Proxy

5.in the right section Select Manual Proxy Configuration and Socks

6.Fill Host and Port fields with Tor Host and Port

7.OK!!!

if Android Studio asked for HTTP settings leave it empty.

now you can update your SDK and Download Dependencies with Gradle :)

In cmd: 

sdkmanager.bat --proxy=socks --proxy_host=127.0.0.1 --proxy_port=9050 "platforms;android-25"

or in Android Studio: File->Settings->Appearance & Behaviour/System Settings/HTTP Proxy - Manual proxy configuration: SOCKS...

Tor uses Socks4a, not Socks5. So you need a client that implements Socks4a. I resolved this by implementing my own Socket factories for apache httpComponents library. You can check it here.
