Android Studio Gradle version - Gradle version 2.8 is required

问题

I'm trying to build an Android project but the following error occurred

Error:(10, 1) A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.android.application']
   > Gradle version 2.8 is required. Current version is 2.4. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in C:\Users\...\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-2.8-all.zip

It seem something's wrong with the Gradle version, however I checked the gradle-wrapper-property and it's already 2.10.

Also in File-Project Structure-Project, gradle-version is also 2.10

No idea how this happened, I've also restarted android-studio many times.

For those that still need help, an answer on another post did it for me link.

You need to change Settings > Builds,Execution,Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle >Gradle home path

Or 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

I don't think that changing Gradle tools to version 1.5.0 is necessary, but if you're using 2.0-snapshot or beta version of gradle, I recommend you to change it to 1.5.0.

This error:

Error:(10, 1) A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.android.application']
   > Gradle version 2.8 is required. Current version is 2.4. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in

C:\Users...\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-2.8-all.zip

only tells you that your project's Gradle system is a bit outdated and need to be updated to newer version.

Open your project Android Studio and in navigator on the left find file called gradle-wrapper.properties. It should have a content like this:

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.4-all.zip

Change the last line with distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.8-all.zip

It should work.

Go To Android Preference and Just change Project level Settings to Use default gradle wrapper (recommended).

There is a bug in version checking in older android plugins. To fix this you can either go back to gradle 2.9 or use the newer plugin

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'
    }
}

But I see from your error message that it tries to run with gradle 2.4 so this is maybe another problem.

Updating the version of android studio from 1.4 to 1.5.1 fixed this problem for me.
