How to determine the version of Gradle?

Question

Option 1- From Studio

In Android Studio, go to File > Project Structure. Then select the "project" tab on the left.

Your Gradle version will be displayed here.

Option 2- gradle-wrapper.properties

If you are using the Gradle wrapper, then your project will have a gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties folder.

This file should contain a line like this:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip

This determines which version of Gradle you are using. In this case, gradle-2.2.1-all.zip means I am using Gradle 2.2.1.

Option 3- Local Gradle distribution

If you are using a version of Gradle installed on your system instead of the wrapper, you can run gradle --version to check.

You can also add the following line to your build script:

println "Running gradle version: $gradle.gradleVersion"

or (it won't be printed with -q switch)

logger.lifecycle "Running gradle version: $gradle.gradleVersion"

I running the following in my project:

./gradlew --version

Gradle 4.7

At the root of your project type below in the console:

gradlew --version

You will have gradle version with other information (as a sample):

------------------------------------------------------------          
Gradle 5.1.1 << Here is the version

I think for gradle version it uses gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties under the hood.
