Can't open Android samples using Android Studio

Question

I just started using Android Studios and wanted to look at some of the sample code that Google already provides in their apk samples.

However, when I try importing a project, it tells me: "You are using an old, unsupported version of Gradle. Please use version 1.8 or greater. Please point to a supported Gradle version in the project's Gradle settings or in the project's Gradle wrapper (if applicable.) Consult IDE log for more details (Help | Show Log)"

In my .gradle/wrapper/dists, I have gradle-1.6-bin and gradle-1.8-bin. I tried updating the gradle to 1.8 from 1.6 in the gradle-wrapper.properties file in the project itself, but I can't seem to save the file after editing it.

Answer 1

Step 1: Change line in build.gradle:

dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.+' } Step 2:

In the YourProject.iml file, delete the entire component name="FacetManager" tag.

Step 3

(Maybe not necessary): In the Android SDK manager, install (if not already installed) Android Support Repository under Extras.

Refer to these 2 links. It answers your question.
