Question

Question:

How do I find the version of libraries that are being used when my Gradle file mentions a dependency using the \'+\' operator in the version number of the dep

Answer 1

Look under .idea folder of your project

In the Project Pane on the left, browse to .idea/libraries

All the library dependencies that your project has have been mentioned, with each one getting its own xml file. You can see the version number included in the xml file title. The xml itself has the library file path.

(OR) Use Gradle's built in task to get dependencies

gradle dependencies
