+<p>The Android build system uses the Android Plugin for Gradle to support building Android
+applications with the <a href="http://www.gradle.org/">Gradle</a> build toolkit. The plugin runs
+independent of Android Studio so the plugin and the Gradle build system can be updated
+independently of Android Studio.</p>
+
+<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> When you update Android Studio or open a project in a
+previous version of Android Studio, Android Studio prompts you to automatically update the plugin
+and Gradle to the latest available versions. You can choose to accept these updates based
+on your project's build requirements. </p>

+<h2>Updating the Android Plugin for Gradle Version</h2>
+<p>The Android Plugin for Gradle version is specified in the
+<strong>File &gt; Project Structure</strong> menu or the project-level
+<code>build.gradle</code> file. The plugin version applies to all modules built in that
+Android Studio project. This example updates the Android Plugin for Gradle to version 1.1:
+<pre>
+...
+     dependencies {
+         classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1'
+     }
+...
+</pre>
+
+
+<p class="caution"><strong>Caution:</strong> You should not use dynamic dependencies (+) in
+version numbers. Using this feature can cause unexpected version updates and difficulty
+resolving version differences.
+</p>
+
+<p>If you're building with Gradle but using not Android Studio, the build process downloads the
+latest Android Plugin for Gradle plugin when it runs. </p>
+
+
+
+<h2>Updating the Gradle Version </h2>
+
+<p>Android Studio requires Gradle version 2.2.1 or later. To view and
+update the Gradle version, edit the Gradle distribution reference in the
+<code>gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties</code> file. This example shows the
+Android Plugin for Gradle version set to 2.2.1.</p>
+
+<pre>
+...
+distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip
+...
+</pre>
