Can't find “Sync Project with Gradle Files” button in IntelliJ IDEA

Question

I just added the google-play-services-lib library to my project and am stuck where I need to \"sync the project with gradle files\", but this button does not exist

Answer 1

As alternative you can use Refresh all Gradle projects button in Gradle tool window.

I also have not found this button so I made my own :)

1. Open Gradle tool window with View -> Tool Windows -> Gradle
2. Start Macro Recording with Edit -> Macros -> Start Recording Macro
3. In Gradle tool window press Refresh all Gradle projects button
4. Stop Macro Recording with Edit -> Macros -> Stop Recording Macro
5. Save Macro with name Gradle sync
6. Press with right mouse button on IntelliJ IDEA toolbar and choose Customize Menus and Toolbars...
7. Under Main menu -> Edit -> Macros -> Macro Actions find your Gradle sync Macro, select it and press Edit Action Icon...
8. Download this icon Sync Project With Gradle Files icon (from documentation http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html) and select this icon in IDEA dialog window
9. Now in Menus and Toolbars select last item in Main Toolbar group, press Add After... and select All actions -> Macros -> Gradle sync
10. Now you have Sync Project with Gradle Files button!
