Yes, this would be expected if you are using ./gradlew with a specific version for the first time AND have disconnected from the Internet.

The Gradle Wrapper (./gradlew) allows each project to use the specific version of Gradle that was intended for that project, but it has to be downloaded the first time a specific version is requested.

If you would rather use a version you installed, you can just type gradle instead of ./gradlew.
