Android studio socks proxy issue

Due to the political prohibitions (country related), unfortunately i am unable to connect to google servers normally, however i have to be able to develop android applications for educational purposes. So i decided to use socks proxy and redirect my traffic through tor so i can be able to get SDK and other API tools and get android studio running. Previously i did this and worked, but now after a fresh ubuntu install and getting the most recent android studio version and following the official instructions, i can't manage to get android studio connect to tor. I tried using the exact host name and port number with other applications and it worked. but i can't seem to find any realted topic to solve my own problem.

Host name: localhost
Port: 9150

Thank you in advance.

Apparently setting the proxy in android studio's settings was not enough.

Besides the starting script must be run like this:

$ torsocks -P 9150 /opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
