Question

Where is the location that gradle downloads dependency in Android Studio?

How to find them?

Answer 1

With my setup, I can find the files at the following location:

~/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/

For example, Picasso artifacts were downloaded at the following location on Mac: emphasized text/Users/USER_NAME/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.squareup.picasso/picasso/

This folder has three directories for .pom file, sources, and actual jar file.

This is not in project specific .gradle folder but is in the global .gradle cache instead.
