Latest version of gradle can't be found

Question

The latest version of Gradle is 2.14.1, right? Therefore, I have this:

gradle-wrapper.properties

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip

gradle.build

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.14.1'
    }
}

But Android studio says it can't find it.

Answer 1

The version of the Android Gradle Build tool is completely independent of Gradle.

For example, yes, the recommended Gradle is 2.14.1 or higher, but the latest stable Android Gradle Build tool is 2.2.2

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2'

EDIT (Mar. 2017) versions are now 3.3 or higher & build tool 2.3

Answer 2

It seems that you have misunderstood about Gradle and Android Gradle Build Tools.

In gradle-wrapper.properties, you can set the version about the Gradle; last 2.14.1

But in build.gradle, you set the Android Gradle Build tool; last 2.1.2

They are not the same thing.
