Gradle 4 Java 11

Question

I have an Android project with Gradle 4 that I'm trying to analyze with Sonar. The sonar tasks must run with Java 11 so I configure the java version on 11 in my CI of Azure Devops but I receive this error:

Could not determine java version from '11.0.12'.

I saw that Gradle 4 is not compatible with Java 11 and that version 9 of sonar is not compatible with Java 8.

How to Perform Sonar Analysis on a Gradle 4 Project

Answer 1

The minimum version of Gradle that supports Java 11 is 5.0 .

You would need to upgrade to version 7.0 or above for Android .

Answer 2

as @Asif A Fasih mentioned, Gradle added official support for Java 11 with Gradle 5.0 - but they also provided a patch version for 4.10 which works with Java 11 - 4.10.3
