upgrade gradle version with android studio - android-studio

I have a old android studio project, the gradle version is 4.10.1. Today when I try to open it with androidstudio, I got below error:
cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'base-extension'. One of '{layoutlib}' is expected.
I am thinking the gradle 4.10.1 is tool old but how can I upgrade it to latest one?

here is the project git hub link
i am using latest android studio version
Try the following:
Change gradle version in build.gradle , change the version in the following line in the file: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'.
In the file gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties, update the gradle version in this line: distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip . Sync the project again, it should work. If it doesn't restart android studio again. It should build successfully afterward.
PS: See what gradle version you use according to your android studio version.

Ionic Capacitor app give me lots of errors

I'm on Windows 10 and I've created a Ionic 5.0.7 app with Capacitor 2.0.0.
I use this command to build app:
ionic build
After, I use this command:
npx cap sync
And, to finish, I use this command to open Android Studio:
npx cap open android
The first problem come during building on Android Studio:
org.gradle.api.reflect.ObjectInstantiationException: Could not create
an instance of type
com.novoda.release.internal.compat.gradle5_3.AndroidSoftwareComponentCompat_Gradle_5_3.
Caused by: org.gradle.api.reflect.ObjectInstantiationException: Could not create
an instance of type
com.novoda.release.internal.compat.gradle5_3.AndroidSoftwareComponentCompat_Gradle_5_3.
And...
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/gradle/api/internal/java/usagecontext/LazyConfigurationUsageContext
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/gradle/api/internal/java/usagecontext/LazyConfigurationUsageContext
I've other random errors... It's weird...
Update
Check #Carl Pool 's answer
They fixed it in the new capacitor Version, no need to downgrade anymore
Old Answer
To fix this downgrade Gradle and Gradle plugin in Android Studio.
File -> Project Structure -> Project
If you keep the plugin to 4.0.0 it will require a minimum Gradle version of 6 so put it back to a lower version like 3.6.3
Version 6 of Gradle does not support LazyConfigurationUsageContext as mentionened by #NishaBhat, so use 5.6.4 instead.
This issue currently has a ticket on Github:
https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/issues/3003
This issue has been resolved in Capacitor version 2.1.2.
https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/issues/3003
Please update the Capacitor dependencies in package.json to version 2.1.2 and then in Android Studio click the button to sync the project with Gradle.
"#capacitor/android": "^2.1.2",
"#capacitor/core": "2.1.2",
Switch to using gradle version 5.6.4. That did the trick for me. LazyConfigurationUsageContext doesn't have support in gradle versions 6.0+
I was getting an error
Cause: org/gradle/api/internal/java/usagecontext/LazyConfigurationUsageContext
I solved by downgraded distributionUrl(gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties) to https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip
it will give an error if above 6+
Same problem.. had many issues:
Errors and how I solved:
Error 1. Gradle sync failed: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.4-all.zip
Solution - Downloaded the zip file and stored in on my local in the \android\gradle\wrapper folder.
Updated the distribution URL to: distributionUrl=./gradle-5.6.4-all.zip
Error 2. java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError & java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
Solution - Downloaded Gradle version 5.6.4 and updated the environment variables.
Error 3. Failed to install the following Android SDK packages as some licences have not been accepted.
build-tools;28.0.3 Android SDK Build-Tools 28.0.3
Updated as per the image below
i have not downgraded the gradle version 6.1.1 But what i did is that:
I removed these lines from build.gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.novoda.bintray-release' &
classpath 'com.novoda:bintray-release:0.9.1'
The Issue just gone like Boom !!
I think this Bintray Dependencies just conflicting behind the scene.

Android studio preview 0.4.5: The project is using an unsupported version of the Android Gradle plug-in

I got the following error message when I was importing a project from github:
Failed to refresh Gradle project 'XXX'
The project is using an unsupported version of the Android Gradle plug-in.
Fix plug-in version and re-import project
This is not a duplicate of this because your get thee error message before
gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
is generated.
The problem appeared after updates. The updated Android Gradle plug-in did not support the outdated version of Gradle I had. But the error message is misleading, if you don't attempt different build options you won't see what the problem is.
After downloading a newer version of Gradle, Imported the project again, then:
Use local gradle distribution
Then Gradle home set to the folder where the new version of gradle was downloaded
that solved it
Edit: From Scott (below comments) : It's preferable to use the wrapper and to change the Gradle version in gradle-wrapper.properties instead of downloading and installing Gradle yourself. As for the Android-Gradle plugin, that's set in the dependencies.classpath block in your build file; see this
I get this gradle-errors in 4 Studio updates! My solution: I copy the Studio-folder, and if gralde throws an error, I copy the old version back. It's not a good way, but until google is not able to deliver an update without producing always the same errors (even if mentioned in many forums), I stay on 4.9 and wait for the first final release.
