Android Studio Upgrade Assistant recommends to update Android Gradle Plugin from version 7.0.0. to x.x.x. However, the problem is that it alerts "Cannot find AGP version in build files". I'm struggling with this message and I found the empty AGP version in my project structure. I've already checked
gradle-7.3-bin
inside
C:\Users\abc.gradle\wrapper\dists' and allocated 'Gradle user home'
as 'C:\Users\abc\.gradle.
That dropdown button below the 'Android Gradle Plugin Version' has nothing and I want to find out why and how to fix it. Is this related with the AGP upgrade?
I got the same error when in Android Studio I tried to use Tools > AGP Upgrade Assistant.
For those who don't know, the Android Gradle Plugin is the dependency com.android.tools.build:gradle: specified in the project-level build.gradle (to be clear, not my module-level build.gradle).
In my case, the problem was that my project-level build.gradle file specified the version of the Android Gradle Plugin using a variable rather than hardcoding the version.
My project had the following variable in my gradle.properties and referenced it in my build.gradle file:
gradle_version=7.2.2
It referenced it in the project-level build.gradle file like this:
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:$gradle_version"
To fix the problem, I changed my project-level build.gradle file from this:
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:$gradle_version"
To this:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.3.1'
After that change, Tools > AGP Upgrade Assistant stopped complaining "Cannot find AGP version in build files". Furthermore, I was able to use AGP Upgrade Assistant to upgrade from com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.2 to com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.3.1.
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).
As I've been using
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:+'
In the build.gradle file, I got the following error since gradle version 2.10 has been released.
The error is :
Warning:Gradle version 2.10 is required. Current version is 2.8. If
using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in
C:\Users\blahblah\myproject\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties
to gradle-2.10-all.zip
at first it looks easy to solve by the guide, but when I'd done the change, I got the error again.
I'm using Android Studio 2.0 with the latest Android SDK Tools 24.4.1 and Android SDK Build Tools 23.0.2
I've even tried to download Gradle 2.10 and put it manually on android-studio\gradle\ folder, but no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
You need to change File > Settings > Builds,Execution,Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle >Gradle home path
On Mac OS, change the path in Android Studio > Preferences > Builds,Execution,Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle >Gradle home
Or set Use default gradle wrapper and edit Project\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties files field distributionUrl like this
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip
Open Preference and search for Gradle or Navigate to Builds, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle
Then change Project-Level setting to Use default gradle wrapper (recommended)
Or keep local gradle distribution option and set Gradle home to /.../gradle-2.10
Make Sure that Gradle version is already setup to 2.10 in Module Settings
On the Project Window, right click on your project then select Open Module Settings (⌘+↓)
Update
Gradle Version: 3.3
Android Plugin version: 2.3.1
An easier way to accomplish this is to go to:
Open Module Settings (your project) > Project > Gradle version and enter 2.10
Download the latest gradle-3.0-all.zip from
http://gradle.org/gradle-download/
download from Complete Distribution link
open in android studio file ->settings ->gradle
open the path and paste the downloaded zip folder gradle-3.0 in that folder
change your gradle 2.8 to gradle 3.0 in file ->settings ->gradle
Or you can change your gradle wrapper in the project
edit YourProject\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties file and edit the field distributionUrl in to
distributionUrl= https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.0-all.zip
For people who are using Ionic/Cordova framework, we need to change the distributionUrl in GradleBuilder.js file to var distributionUrl = process.env['CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL'] || 'http\\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip';
The GradleBuilder.js locates at project/platforms/android/cordova/lib/builders/GradleBuilder.js
First Check your Project-level settings at
File > Settings > Build, Executions, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle
and Select the Option :
Use default gradle wrapper (recommended)
then go to Project's
Gradle > wrapper > gradle-wrapper.properties
and edit version of the distributionUrl
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip
And you are done :)
For Android studio v2.1
Follow these easy steps from images.
Go "File" and click "Project structure".
Then select "Project" from left menu and then change "Gradle version" to the version your sdk manager has installed. In my case it is 2.10 so i change version to 2.10 and then click on "Ok". And then android studio automatically do gradle sync again and error was fixed.
Easiest way for me to fix this issue:
close IDE.
delete "gradle" folder
re-open project.
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.
Use gradle wrapper (recommended) - select this option to use Gradle
wrapper. Using Gradle wrapper lets you get automatic Gradle download
for the build. It also lets you build with the precise Gradle version.
Newer versions of the Gradle plugin may require newer versions of
Studio to enable the new features in the IDE, but the project should
open in older versions of Studio, and build from there (since Gradle
does the build). We will be very careful about this.
Click on Settings -> Build -> Execution -> Deployment ->
Gradle -> Select default gradle wrapper
You can use
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha3' // or alpha2
Or //classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'
I encountered the same issue before.
In the end, the problem is that you use terminal; it uses system config.
check it, whether you have set
"GRADLE_HOME=.\gradle-2.10"
Hope it helps
If the problem persist, add the following code in the build.gradle of the top project.
buildscript {
System.properties['com.android.build.gradle.overrideVersionCheck'] = 'true'
...
}
For those who uses ionic, go to [project name]/platforms/android/cordova/lib/builders/GradleBuilder.js on line 164 you will see the following: var distributionUrl = process.env['CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL'] || 'http\\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.13-all.zip';This line is used to create your gradle-wrapper.properties, so any changes to the gradle-wrapper.properties wont matter. All you need to do is change the url to the latest version, sync the gradle and the problem is solved.
Just want to change the gradle version in the Android studio, go to File>settings>project and change the gradle version. After you apply, it will sync the project and you are ready to build.
Important:
If you are getting this when you run:
gradle build
from command line you have to use:
gradlew build
instead so that you will use gradle wrapper to downloaded the appropriate gradle version needed by the app.
When you execute gradle build you are using the global gradle installed on your system.
Go to File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Gradle -> choose Use default gradle wrapper
for me all previous solutions failed, so i just edited
Project\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties -> field distributionUrl
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.8-all.zip
to
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip
My problem maybe is different,so I just wanna tell somebody who may have the same problem as me.
I solved this problem by change Terminal path.
when I run gradle clean, the error come cross "Gradle version 2.10 is required. Current version is 2.2.1".
I checked .gradle directory in my project, there are two versions in it: 2.2.1, 2.10.
when I run gradle -v, it shows my current version is 2.2.1.
I change my system environment GRADLE_HOME to 2.10 root directory, then I restart terminal in AS and run 'gradle -v', it still shows the current verision is 2.2.1.
open setting -> terminal change the cmd.exe path to the System32/cmd.exe.
then restart terminal, run gradle clean,everything is fine.
You need to change Prefrences > Builds,Execution,Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle >Gradle home path
Or set Use default gradle wrapper and edit Project\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties files field distributionUrl like this
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip
I had Android Studio version 1.5.1 installed and was running into this error. I have the following buildscript (which was working on Ubuntu but not Windows):
buildscript {
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
}
}
I tried:
gradlew clean
Use default gradle wrapper (recommended)
Use local distribution and linked to downloaded gradle 2.2.1 binary
None of these solutions worked unfortunately. It should be worth noting that upgrading Android Studio from 1.5.1 to 2.1.1 also failed with errors about 2.10 missing so could not be performed.
Solution: What I ended up doing was simply downloaded the latest stable version of Android Studio and installing that instead (2.1.1 at the time). After doing that gradle synced succesfully
What worked for me on Mint 17.03 which is base off Ubuntu 14.04
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cwchien/gradle
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gradle
Reopen Android Studio. Go to Run/Debug Configuration and there should be an icon saying you need to Update gradle. Just click it.
I had the same problem and no answer in stackoverflow helped. But I found the issue in my project. It was because my .gitignore file contained these lines:
# Package Files #
*.jar
*.war
*.ear
and that is why git did not upload the MyProject\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.jar file to remote. So, I added this line to .gitignore:
!/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar
Make sure you had this line too. At least this solved my problem
In Terminal type gradlew clean. it will automatically download and install gradle version 2.10(ie latest gradle verson available)
Eg : C:\android\workspace\projectname>gradlew clean
this work for me.
create a new project in android studio. Open project setting and copy the local gradle path. now open the project having gradle problem and paste that url and select local path.
click apply problem will get solved.
Some cases it does not work-out because there is no problem in your project gradle or android-studio.
Step 1:
Minimum supported Gradle version is 2.14.1. Current version is 2.11. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl
Check gradle version in your system gradle -version
Older version upgrade gradle version brew install gradle
Step 2
Go to android-studio-> Preference-> Build,Execution,Deployment-> Gradle
Use default gradle wrapper and un-mark offline work
Step 3
Check distributionUrl in gradle-wrapper.properties
Upgrade if older version.
Clean Project
I had to upgrade my version of Cordova to support the latest version of Gradle. Updating the distributionUrl in GradleBuilder.js didn't work for me.
if your has this error that "supported Gradle version is 2.14.1. Current version is 2.4. ", on terminal. means your should update your gradle.
On Mac OS: you can use brew upgrade gradle
In my case the problem was indeed in the distributionURL in gradle-wrapper.properties file and Android Studio auto-fixed inserting
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.0-20170417000025+0000-all.zip
But this was a wrong URL. The correct one is
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions-snapshots/gradle-4.0-20170417000025+0000-all.zip
Apparently the url changed in gradle's API but not in Android Studio so fixing it by hand solved the problem for me.
Latest gradle
Download the latest gradle-3.3-all.zip from
http://gradle.org/gradle-download/
1.download from Complete Distribution link
2.open in android studio file ->settings ->gradle
3.open the path and paste the downloaded zip folder gradle-3.3 in that folder
4.change your gradle 2.8 to gradle 3.3 in file ->settings ->gradle
5.Or you can change your gradle wrapper in the project
6.edit YourProject\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties file and edit the field distributionUrl in to
distributionUrl=
https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.0-all.zip
shown in android studio's gradle files

I have recently updated my Android Studio.
After updating it, When I am trying to import or open a project it gives me following error :
Gradle Sync Issue
Error:Error:Gradle 2.4 requires Android Gradle plugin 1.2.0 (or newer) but project is using version 1.1.0.
Please use Android Gradle plugin 1.2.0 or newer.
Fix plugin version and sync project
Is there any solution for this problem ?
In your build.gradle you should use a newer version of the gradle plugin.
Use classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.1'instead of classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'. Or at least 1.2.0, as the error points out.
change in your progect build.gradle file
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.3'
}
As Android Studio was just officially updated to 1.3 (Gradle as well).
Please Change gradle version to 1.3.+ in build.gradle . It should now look like this:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.+'
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
I met this question,too. Modifying dependencies stuff is confuse me. From#Mykaelos answer, For Windows Android Studio, Go into File > Settings > "Build, Execution, Deployment" > "Build Tools" > Gradle and change it to "Use default gradle wrapper (recommended)", I tried it in early hours, and it works for me.
I'm trying to execute gradle wrapper for an Android project, and this error is raised:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'myapp'.
> Gradle version 1.10 is required. Current version is 1.12. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in /Users/dude/myapp/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-1.10-all.zip
My wrapper task in build.gradle looks like this:
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = "1.12"
}
I recently updated to Gradle v1.12 via Homebrew. Is it not supported or something? If so, where can I check this sort of thing?
A particular version of the Gradle Android plugin requires a particular version of Gradle (at least for now), and it seems that your version of the Gradle Android plugin requires Gradle 1.10. You might find more information on this in the documentation for the Gradle Android plugin.
PS: The wrapper task above creates the files necessary to run Gradle with the (generated) gradlew script, which is the preferred way to run Gradle (no manual install, every build can specify in its gradle-wrapper.properties which Gradle version it needs).
The version of Android gradle plugin needs to be compatible with the version of Gradle. Checkout the version compatibility mapping table here：
http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/version-compatibility
I had the same problem. It turned out that the old Android Studio created gradle related files one level above my application folder. In my case, the path was in ~/git/, and my project was at ~/git/myproject. I used Android Studio RC2 now, and no matter how I changed the config within the project, gradle still wanted to use the old 1.10 version. Therefore, I re-checked out the project a new path, and updated the gradle version reference within the project, then it compiled.
