Can we change gradle plugin version in Android studio

Question

My Android studio is 1.5.1 and I found 1.3.0 and 1.5.0 in

/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/gradle/m2repository/com/android/tools/build/gradle

But I'd like to user gradle plugin 1.1.0, I changed the gradle version in build.gradle. But it is userless, so how can I change the gradle plugin version?

Solution 1

The standard way is to go to "File/Project Structure":

and then to set your plugin configuration in the "Project" section of the window that opens:

(You can also directly modify your gradle files).

Solution 2

Each project (but you can force each module) can use a different version.

You can define the plugin inside the build.gradle file in the project (root level, or inside the module).

For example:

  classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.1'
  classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'

Otherwise you can use the menu in:

File -> Project Structure -> Project.

It will edit automatically the same build.gradle file.

Solution 3

**Easy way

Just Open Gradle -> wrapper and change vercion to 5.5.1 and delete gradle -wrapper.jar and run Your Project

but in the path /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/gradle/m2repository/com/android/tools/bu‌​ild/gradle, plugin 1.1.0 is not exist

@chefish You must have a more recent version available in that case. It is best to upgrade when an update is available anyway. Should you absolutely need the 1.1.0, you'll have to install it first.
