"Gradle Version 2.10 is required." Error

Question

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

Second option (setting default gradle wrapper AND editing gradle-wrapper.properties) worked for me. Please keep in mind that if you don't have gradle 2.10 installed on your computer, it might take some time to download and build (25 minutes on my computer). And, as kellogs said, you MUST sync again after that. – Mar Bar Feb 17 '16 at 19:45

This is a good useful anwer. However downloading the zip, and extracting the files onto a directory was necessary for me. – The Original Android Mar 14 '16 at 02:56
how can you set it to default? I'm using Android Studio thanks. I don't have any options from my project-level settings. – Kairi San Mar 31 '16 at 03:13
@MorZa your comment really ought to be edited right into the text of the answer. On the mac, I did almost exactly what the answer said, File > [Other] Settings > Default Settings > Builds,Execution,Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle .. and then went searching in the Service directory path... almost lost extra time there. Thanks for the comment – Tom Pace Apr 12 '16 at 18:26
@MarBar doing both as you said, setting Default wrapper and editing still failed for me. Updating the distributionURL does nothing, so I wonder if something else is overriding, methinks I must quit Android Studio. I've never used gradle before this project (hired into gradle project), but I'm attempting to set all the configurations to make sense and be clean, but it's really still feeling like Eclipse. – Tom Pace Apr 12 '16 at 18:47

Can't the Android Studio team provide a bug-less update for once?? Jesus!! – Josh Apr 18 '16 at 12:25
My project is already set to use the default Gradle wrapper, and the distributionUrl is already set as specified, and I'm still getting this error. – Kevin Krumwiede Aug 06 '16 at 06:37
I have tried this in 100 different ways and the error always repeats. This is now Android 2.2.1 and I get Error:Gradle version 1.10 is required. Current version is 2.14.1. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in E:\projects\joxpAndroid\Health@Home\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-1.10-all.zip. Please fix the project's Gradle settings. Migrate to Gradle wrapper and sync project and no matter what one does, the gradle-1.10 always comes up. I have no idea where Android Studio is getting that from. – Brian Reinhold Nov 08 '16 at 22:03

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

open in android studio file ->settings ->gradle

open the path and paste the downloaded zip folder gradle-3.0 in that folder

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.

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"

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
