Gradle Project sync failed. Android Studio 3.1.3

Question

100% new to android. Installed it and was trying to run the basic hello world program from the tutorial https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/creating-project.

However when I go to activity_mail.xml and then to the design view, it doesn't allow me to see it and it says "design editor not available until a sucesful build".

It also says "Cause: unable to find valid certification path to requested target"

Here are some screenshots. It also says something about dependencies stuff

enter image description here

I have seen somehow similar questions, but the answers don't apply to my case. Also here are my versions: MAC OS X El capitan Android Studio 3.1.3 . May all this have something to do with the version of Android Studio I'm using?

@shizhen pretty sure I have. Is there a way to double check? — dev74, Jul 24 '18 at 00:47
Check your local.properties file under your project root directory, your Android SDK should have been properly configured — shizhen, Jul 24 '18 at 00:58
@shizhen I just checked the file. How do I know if Android DKS is properly configured? — dev74, Jul 24 '18 at 15:53
@dev74 i meant any open android studio tab that contains layout — ygngy, Jul 24 '18 at 18:07
