The Android build system uses the Android Plugin for Gradle to support building Android +applications with the Gradle build toolkit. The plugin runs +independent of Android Studio so the plugin and the Gradle build system can be updated +independently of Android Studio.

+ +

Note: 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.

Updating the Android Plugin for Gradle Version

+

The Android Plugin for Gradle version is specified in the +File > Project Structure menu or the project-level +build.gradle 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: +

+...
+     dependencies {
+         classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1'
+     }
+...
+
+ + +

Caution: You should not use dynamic dependencies (+) in +version numbers. Using this feature can cause unexpected version updates and difficulty +resolving version differences. +

+ +

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.

+ + + +

Updating the Gradle Version

+ +

Android Studio requires Gradle version 2.2.1 or later. To view and +update the Gradle version, edit the Gradle distribution reference in the +gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file. This example shows the +Android Plugin for Gradle version set to 2.2.1.

+ +
+...
+distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip
+...
+
+ + + + +
