How to determine the version of Gradle?

Question

How can I know which version of Gradle I am using in my Android Studio? Please guide.

I want to make sure I am using Gradle version 2.2.1.

Answer 1

At the root of your project type below in the console:

gradlew --version

You will have gradle version with other information (as a sample):

------------------------------------------------------------          
Gradle 5.1.1 << Here is the version                                                         
------------------------------------------------------------

Kotlin:       1.3.11                                                  
Groovy:       2.5.4                                                   
Ant:          Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.13 compiled on July 10 2018  
JVM:          10.0.2 ("Oracle Corporation" 10.0.2+13)                 
OS:           Windows 10 10.0 amd64                                   

I think for gradle version it uses gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties under the hood.

Answer 2

Option 1- From Studio

In Android Studio, go to File > Project Structure. Then select the "project" tab on the left.

Your Gradle version will be displayed here.

Option 2- gradle-wrapper.properties

If you are using the Gradle wrapper, then your project will have a gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties folder.

This file should contain a line like this:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip

This determines which version of Gradle you are using. In this case, gradle-2.2.1-all.zip means I am using Gradle 2.2.1.

Option 3- Local Gradle distribution

If you are using a version of Gradle installed on your system instead of the wrapper, you can run gradle --version to check.

Answer 4

I found the solution Do change in your cordovaLib file build.gradle file

dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0' }

and now make changes in you,

platforms\android\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties

distributionUrl=\
https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip

this works for.

2019-05-08 Android Studios needs an upgrade. upgrade Android Studios to 3.3.- and the error with .R; goes away.

Also the above methods also work.

Answer 6

Check in the folder structure of the project the files within the /gradle/wrapper/ The gradle-wrapper.jar version should be the one specified in the gradle-wrapper.properties
