title: Android Studio: Change location of .gradle directory
body: <p>I am using Android Studio 0.52 with the default wrapper implementation. 
  When I open a project Android Studio downloads the gradle 1.11 distribution files to {user.home}/.gradle directory. Unfortunately this folder is mapped to a network drive, that has only limited space. </p>
  
  <p>I tried setting a global environment variable GRADLE_USER_HOME to a local drive, but that didn't work.
  I also "installed" gradle locally and chose local installation in Android Studio's Gradle settings and set the Service directory path to a local drive. But it keeps downloading files to {user.home}/.gradle</p>
  
  <p>Why does Android Studio ignore the Env Variable? Is there a way to change GRADLE_USER_HOME in Android Studio?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
