Show Gradle Console when running task

Question

How do I get the gradle console to show when I run a gradle task in Android Stduio? When I execute the task, the run dialog pops up but the console does not. I want to be able to see the gradle console so that I can see the output, but I don't want to permantly see the gradle console (pinned mode) as 95% of the time I'd rather have the real estate for the editor.

I was actually looking on how to do this myself, found your answer and that hinted me into it somehow, so thanks – Shujito Dec 06 '16 at 19:02

It's incredible how it's possible that Android Studio doesn't show this information by default. It's not that clear how to find that bit of so important information while debugging. Thanks! – xarlymg89 Nov 07 '18 at 17:50

From Android Studio 3.1 and above, viewing the gradle console has been as Monitoring the Build Process.

build tab
sync tab
restart
toggle view - toggles between displaying task execution as a graphical tree and displaying more detailed text output from Gradle
