Android Studio says to use Gradle 1.10 - but new version is 1.12?

Question

The error:

The project is using an unsupported version of Gradle.  Please use version 1.10.


My `gradle.build` file says this:

dependencies {
      classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.+'
}

As far as I know, the above line is correct. My gradle-wrapper file says:

distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.12-all.zip

This happened when I downloaded the newest Android Studio beta (v.8) and tried to import an app that had, what I assume is an old version of Gradle.

Also, when I hit " Fix Gradle Wrapper and re-import project ", nothing happens.

Answer 1

If you want to change the gradle-wrapper to a lower version you have to change distributionUrl to

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

and then rerun the wrapper task. If this isn't enough just delete the folders .gradle and gradle and the files gradlew and gradlew.bat . The rerun wrapper and he downloads gralde 1.10

Since gradle had some major api changes from version 1.10 and 1.12 you can not build any project with a higher version then the plugins are build with. So if the android plugin is build with gradle 1.10 you have to use the same version

Error: "Gradle version 1.10 is required. Current version is 2.0"

Why it show: Attempting to build an Android project that requires 1.10 version of Gradle while using 2.0 version of it as native.

What should be done to resolve this problem: Updating the gradle version within build.gradle file

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.2+'
}

replacing it with

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.+'
}

There is a difference between Gradle version and Gradle Android Plugin version (0.12.+).
Looks like you need Gradle version 1.10, don't think later versions are supperted by the Gradle Android plugin yet. Anyway, I think making sure that you use Gradle 1.10 version will resolve this issue.
