Build Android Using Gradle

Question

I am still getting the error

"A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.

Gradle version 1.10 is required. Current version is 1.12. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in D:\\AndroidStudioWorkspace\\HelloGradl e\\gradle\\wrapper\\gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-1.10-all.zip"

Though I updated my build.gradle as follows:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.10.+'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'android'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "19.0.3"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 8
        targetSdkVersion 19
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+'
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}

I did it by creating a fresh workspace and creating a new project in it.

Then do File>Export>Generate Gradle build files.

Once the build.gradle file is generated as follows:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.10.+'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'android'

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "19.0.3"

    sourceSets {
        main {
            manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
            java.srcDirs = ['src']
            resources.srcDirs = ['src']
            aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
            renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
            res.srcDirs = ['res']
            assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
        }

        // Move the tests to tests/java, tests/res, etc...
        instrumentTest.setRoot('tests')

        // Move the build types to build-types/<type>
        // For instance, build-types/debug/java, build-types/debug/AndroidManifest.xml, ...
        // This moves them out of them default location under src/<type>/... which would
        // conflict with src/ being used by the main source set.
        // Adding new build types or product flavors should be accompanied
        // by a similar customization.
        debug.setRoot('build-types/debug')
        release.setRoot('build-types/release')
    }
}

Go to command prompt, go to the project directory and run the command: gradle build

Thats it! U will see the following output:

Open the following file: project_root/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties .

Make sure the distributionUrl is set to 1.10 :

distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.10-all.zip
