I have just started a new project and when I sync'd I got this dialog box.
I am just wondering what is the difference between the Android Gradle Project and Gradle.
How would I upgrade to Gradle to version 4.5?
What is the purpose of both of these?
Many thanks in advance

The Android Gradle plugin (AGP) is the official build system for Android applications. It includes support for compiling many different types of sources and linking them together into an application that you can run on a physical Android device or an emulator.
A Gradle plugin is nothing more than a combination of tasks that you'd like to execute together. There are a few ways you can write your Gradle plugin, so this next section will go through each of them. Put the source of the plugin directly into the build. gradle file.
Each module has its own build file, so every Android Studio project contains two kinds of Gradle build files.
Android Studio uses Gradle, an advanced build toolkit, to automate and manage the build process, while allowing you to define flexible custom build configurations. Each build configuration can define its own set of code and resources, while reusing the parts common to all versions of your app.
Gradle is the build system.
You can use it with a lot of plugins. One of these is the Android Gradle plugin.
It is used to provide processes and configurable settings that are specific to building and testing Android applications.
