Android Studio 1.0.1 supports gradle 2.2.1+ and Android Gradle Plugin 1.0.0+
How to change the gradle version.
In your project you should have a folder gradle/wrapper.
Inside you will find the gradle-wrapper.properties
file.
Change this line inside
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip
How to change gradle plugin version:
In your project you should have a build.gradle
file in the root folder.
Inside:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter() // or mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'
}
}
Pay attention. Each module has a own build.gradle file. Inside you can override the default configuration.
