Old version of gradle is required error - android

I had a three year old Android Studio which I just upgraded to the latest version(3.2).
I opened a project and tried to run it, but I got this error:
Gradle project sync failed. Basic functionality (e.g. editing, debugging) will not work properly.
Then, I saw this in gradle-wrapper.properties:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2-all.zip
From what I understand Gradle 2.2 is not compatible with Android Studio 3.2.
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.9-all.zip
Now however, if I try building again, I get this error:
Gradle version 2.2 is required. Current version is 4.9.
Why does it ask me for an old version of Gradle?

There are TWO places to be aware of:
Android Gradle Plugin version.
Android wrapper version and Gradle version
Each version of Android Gradle Plugin version requires a minimum version of gradle version. For your case, it looks these two versions are not in sync. So, try to modify your files as below:
Top level build.gradle
buildscript {
repositories {
...
}
dependencies {
// This is the Android Gradle Plugin version
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'
}
}
gradle-wrapper.properties
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.9-all.zip

Android studio doesn't support that version unfortunately. My advice is using 4.4, that's last full supported version.

Unsupported method: AndroidArtifact.getBuildConfigFields()

I have just updated to Android Studio 4.0 and trying to build my project. I keep on getting the below error
Unsupported method: AndroidArtifact.getBuildConfigFields().
The version of Gradle you connect to does not support that method.
To resolve the problem you can change/upgrade the target version of Gradle you connect to.
Alternatively, you can ignore this exception and read other information from the model.
I am already using the latest version of Gradle and Gradle Plugin
Gradle version:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-milestone-1-all.zip
Gradle plugin tools version:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0-alpha10'
Any solution or fix for this problem would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
Use Android studio 4.1 preview
or
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.0'
This is usually due to a mismatch between your Android Studio versions and the Android Gradle plugin.
You can find the version of Android Studio on the project selection window when you first open it (or in "Android Studio > About Android Studio" on Mac, and similar location on other platforms). For example, you might be using Android Studio 4.0.1.
You can find the Android Gradle plugin version for your project in the top-level build.gradle file.
You should find something like the following:
buildscript {
[...]
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1'
[...]
}
[...]
}
You need to make sure that the two version numbers match (in this case they do).

Basic android studio project with errors

I just downloaded the Android 3.1 and I created a new project with a Basic Activity, but it doesn't recognize the Theme and other things, never happen before and sometimes some new activities comes with no ActionBar, its like transparent.
And
Any thoughts ? Thanks!
Gradle App level
Gradle project Level the same version of the Android Studio
I face this error often, that is actually an issue in AS. Your project will still run, and successful build.
This is just a editor error.
To resolve this
update your version of com.android.support libraries in app level build.gradle.
And gradle plugin version as same as your Android studio version in your project level build.gradle.
Update compileSdkVersion and buildToolVersion (or you can remove in with latest gradle version) to latest.
like i have 3.1.2 version of Android studio so i have
buildscript {
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
...
}
}
Clean, Rebuild and Enjoy.

Incompatible version of android studio with the Gradle version used

My android-studio version is the latest 2.1.3,and I am try to update gradle to gradle-3.0-all with plugin 2.2.0-beta3.
When I build it was ok but when run the ide report that "Incompatible version of android studio with the Gradle version used."
How can I resolve this?Should I use android-studio 2.2+?
Just use the latest stable version of the gradle distribution and the gradle plugin for android:
In build.gradle:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'
}
In gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties:
distributionUrl = https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.14-all.zip
Currently the version of gradle 3.x is not officially supported.
Android studio will notify you if Gradle plugin needs update. no need for doing it yourself.

Android build improper gradle version

I am trying to build an android project from the command line.
I am following this tutorial
My project structure and files match the tutorial exactly.
When I run gradle build it tells me that version 2.2 of gradle is required, but I have a newer version of gradle installed, 2.10. So does that mean I must download an older version of gradle to build android?
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'GradleJavaApp'.
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.android.application']
> Gradle version 2.2 is required. Current version is 2.10. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in H:\GradleJavaApp\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-2.2-all.zip
Don't use older version of Gradle! Stick to version 2.10 (or newer).
If you followed the tutorial thoroughly,
you probably used version 1.1.3 of Android build plugin:
buildscript {
…
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.3'
}
}
Build plugin version 1.1.3 is terribly outdated from the view of Android development (released on March 2015 according to the release notes).
Change that to the latest version 2.1.0.
Gradle wrapper should then stop complaining about Gradle version and
you should be able to use Gradle 2.10 normally.
Also replace all mentions of Gradle 2.3 in the tutorial with version 2.10.

Failed to find target with hash string 'android-23' in Android Studio 2.0 preview beta 2

Gradle sync fails in Android Studio 2.0 preview beta 2. My project used to work perfectly in older previews, but since preview 9 gradle sync fails with error:
failed to find target with hash string 'android-23'
I've tried changing compile and target SDK versions but no change.
The build classpath specifies which Java source files and resource
files in a project are considered by the Java builder and specifies
how to find types outside of the project. The Java builder compiles
the Java source files into the output folder and also copies the
resources into it. The build classpath is specified for each project.
You should use
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-beta2' // or beta3
}
alpha9
Sometimes this stage is referred to as a preview version. Sometimes no
more features are added after this release, but bug fixes continue.
This release comes after a pre-alpha version and before a beta
version.
The issue seems to be with gradle plugin. alpha9 is buggy.
avoid 2.0.0-alpha9
use 2.0.0-beta2
in your project gradle file.
Works with preview 9 and beta 2 versions of android studio.
Just change you build.gradle classpath with com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-beta2 like below while using Android studio 2.0 beta 2:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-beta2'
}
