How to update gradle in android studio?

Question

I installed Android Studio 0.1.9. Today I got and update to version 0.2 and of course I updated. After the installation I restarted Android Studio but now I get this message:

Project is using an old version of the Android Gradle plug-in. The minimum supported version is 0.5.0. Please update the version of the dependency 'com.android.tools.build:gradle'

How do I do that? I can't find any update tools for the gradle plugin in android studio.

I can't comment yet.

Same as Kevin but with different UI step:

This may not be the exact answer for the OP, but is the answer to the Title of the question: How to Update Gradle in Android Studio (AS):

• Get latest version supported by AS: http://www.gradle.org/downloads (Currently 1.9, 1.10 is NOT supported by AS yet)
• Install: Unzip to anywhere like near where AS is installed: C:\Users[username]\gradle-1.9\
• Open AS: File->Settings->Build, Execution, Deployment->Build Tools-> Gradle->Service directory path: (Change to folder you set above) ->Click ok. Status on bottom should indicate it's busy & error should be fixed. Might have to restart AS

Update gradle easily (Updated March 2018):

Step 1 (Use default gradle wrapper)

File→Settings→Build, Execution, Deployment→Build Tools→Gradle→Use default Gradle wrapper (recommended)

Step 2 (Select desired gradle version)

File→Project Structure→Project

The following table shows which version of Gradle is compatible with specific version of Android plugin for Gradle:

Latest versions you can use with Android Studio 3.2 (October 2018):

Answer 3

Open your root build.gradle file and change Gradle version like this

Old version:

 dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0'
    } 

New version:

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'
    }

For Gradle version compatibility see this.

Answer 4

It works for me:

just go to '/home/your-user/.gradle/wrapper/dists/'

delete everything inside of this

It will be replaced by android studio

on terminal run: ionic emulate android

Its all...

Answer 5

For me I copied my fonts folder from the assets to the res folder and caused the problem because Android Studio didn't accept capitalized names. I switched to project view mode and deleted it then added it as font resource file by right clicking res folder.
