Gradle version 1.8 is required. Current version is 1.9-rc-3 - Android Studio

Question

Gradle updates and error now, I can't import my project.

Error log:

Could not execute build using Gradle distribution 'http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.9-rc-3-bin.zip'.
Build file '/home/luiz/Dropbox/projetos/droido-beta/droido.torpedos/build.gradle' line: 9
A problem occurred evaluating project ':droido.torpedos'.
A problem occurred evaluating project ':droido.torpedos'.
Gradle version 1.8 is required. Current version is 1.9-rc-3. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in /home/luiz/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-1.8-all.zip

How solve this?

Answer 1

I had this issue with android studio 0.4.2, I changed the android tools in build.gradle from 0.6+ to 0.7+

original line in build.gradle:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.+'

Changed to:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.7.+'

Then I just ran Tools->Android->Sync Project with Gradle Files and everything worked.

Answer 2

Gradle 1.9 is not yet supported by the build tools.

Consider using Gradle Wrapper which will download it's own version of gradle that your project is built from.

See (http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html)

Add the wrapper task and set it to 1.8 then run gradle wrapper

You might have to re-import your project to AS and when you do, tell it to use the wrapper.

Hope that helps.
