I installed Android Studio 0.1.9. Today I got and update to version 0.2 and of course I updated. After the installation I restarted Android Studio but now I get this message:
Project is using an old version of the Android Gradle plug-in. The minimum supported version is 0.5.0. Please update the version of the dependency 'com.android.tools.build:gradle'
How do I do that? I can't find any update tools for the gradle plugin in android studio.
File→Settings→Build, Execution, Deployment→Build Tools→Gradle→Use default Gradle wrapper (recommended)
File→Project Structure→Project
The following table shows compatibility between Android plugin for Gradle and Gradle:
Latest stable versions you can use with Android Studio 4.1.2 (March 2021):
Android Gradle Plugin version: 4.1.2
Gradle version: 6.5
This may not be the exact answer for the OP, but is the answer to the Title of the question: How to Update Gradle in Android Studio (AS):
after release of android studio v 3.0(stable), It will show popup, If gradle update is available
OR
Manually, just change version of gradle in top-level(project-level) build.gradle file to latest,
buildscript {
...
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
}
}
check below chart
The Android Gradle Plugin and Gradle Android Gradle Plugin Requires Gradle 1.0.0 - 1.1.3 2.2.1 - 2.3 1.2.0 - 1.3.1 2.2.1 - 2.9 1.5.0 2.2.1+ 2.2.1 - 2.13 2.0.0 - 2.1.2 2.10 - 2.13 2.1.3 - 2.2.3 2.14.1+ 2.3.0+ 3.3+ 3.0.0+ 4.1+ 3.1.0+ 4.4+ 3.2.0 - 3.2.1 4.6+ 3.3.0 - 3.3.1 4.10.1+ 3.4.0 - 3.4.1 5.1.1+ 3.5.0 5.4.1+
check gradle revisions
On Mac, open terminal and run the following commands as per instructions:
$ curl -s https://get.sdkman.io | bash
then
$ sdk install gradle 3.0
Once the installation is complete, the terminal would ask whether to set it as a default version so type y and make it the default version.
Now open Android Studio -> Terminal and run the following command
Gradle --version
Open your root build.gradle file and change Gradle version like this
Old version:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0'
}
New version:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'
}
For Gradle version compatibility see this.
I can't comment yet.
Same as Kevin but with different UI step:
This may not be the exact answer for the OP, but is the answer to the Title of the question: How to Update Gradle in Android Studio (AS):
Go to File > Settings > Builds,Execution,Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle >Gradle home path
Now, set Use default gradle wrapper and edit Project\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties files field distributionUrl like this
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip
Most of the time you can have Android Studio automatically update the Gradle plugin.
If your Gradle plugin version is behind, Instant Run will mostly likely not work. Therefore if you go to the Instant Run settings (Preferences > Build, Execution, Deployment > Instant Run), you'll see an Update project button at the top right (image below). Clicking this will update both the Gradle wrapper and build tools.
