After updating Android studio, my project now throws error The specified Gradle installation directory 'C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\gradle-2.14.1' does not exist.
When checking that installation path, there is no gradle folder.
I also tested a sample project, and that seems to be working.
Update: found the solution in this comment: How to update gradle in android studio?
I have solved like this:
You'll:
In Android Studio -> File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle
In "Use Gradle from" you choose 'gradle-wrapper.properties' file. And in Gradle JDK you choose what you need.
I have the latest version of gradle (7.4) installed on my machine, every time I open a new project on Android Studio or Intellij to write Kotlin codes, it starts downloading old versions of gradle, is there a way to stop it or to run AS/IDEA offline ?
You can modify the distributionUrl property in the gradle-wrapper.properties file to point to a local file. So download a single copy of the necessary Gradle version from https://services.gradle.org/distributions/. Then before you open a project in the IDE, edit its gradle-wrapper.properties file to point to this local copy. It will copy the local file instead of downloading it.
For example, change
distributionUrl=“http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-bin.zip”
to
distributionUrl=file\:///C:/gradle-7.4-all.zip
I found a post about doing this here.
I don't have access to internet all the time. I use dependencies to add libraries to my project when I am online. for example for using cards library I add this to build.gradle:
compile 'com.github.gabrielemariotti.cards:cardslib-core:2.1.0'
so it goes online and download the related files.
Now I'm offline and don't have access to INTERNET. I started another project and want to use that cards library again, But it says:
Error:(29, 13) Failed to resolve: com.github.gabrielemariotti.cards:cardslib-core:2.1.0
Why it try to download the library again while I have it on my system? How Can I use this dependency in other project in offline mode?
I don't want to copy .jar file to my project I want to use the downloaded file by declare it in dependencies.
You can set Android Studio to offline mode in the settings: Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle -> Offline work
Why does Android Studio download gradle every time I try to import a new project?
Initially, I imported one gradle project for which Gradle 2.1 was auto-downloaded. Subsequently, for a second project import, it downloaded Gradle 1.10. Now again while importing a third project, it has downloaded Gradle 2.2.1.
What is happening?
Projects can declare which Gradle they require to run (see gradle.properties file in gradle directory in the root of the project).
Android Studio uses this information to download and run the right version (it's actually not Android Studio, it's the Gradle Wrapper running inside it). And it's a good thing.
What you can do?
Wait. Once you have the version downloaded in ~/.gradle directory, it will be used for any project declaring the same version. It's one-time cache.
Disable the usage of the wrapper when you import the project. I really recommend against it! You project might not build because of that.
Same happens to me.
The answer of JBaruch is allright.
1.- When you're opening a file on the option Gradle project: select the build.gradle that cames on your project
2.- Select the option "Use local grade distribution" and in Gradle home option; go and select in C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\gradle-2.2.1
It will not ask you to download it again (except if needs other version)
...well, here's what I normally do to speed up the initial build on opening a project (target):
1- open a project you already have working and open the file gradle-wrapper.properties a copy the following line (your project most likely will have a different version):
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.7-bin.zip
2- paste it and replace the code on the same file on the target project
3- open the file build.gradle (project code) from a project you already have working and copy the following classpath, (again, your project most likely will have a different version)
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.0-alpha15'
// ...
}
4- paste it on the same file on the target project
This way you can speed up the build of the target project while avoiding the usual 100Mb or so Gradle download.
Basically it downloads the Gradle build files for your current project according to its version and this whole work is done by your gradle wrapper which actually looks towards the basic requirement for your project and downloads the files according to that so whenever you are going to use any another projects of same version or with same requirements then it will not download any additional file at that time.Its just a one time shot!!!!
It usually downloads the Gradle updated version & and external dependencies for each project rather than fetching it from the cache.
So follow these steps:-
Go to settings
Search for Gradle
Untick Download External Dependencies Option.
How to set gradle home while importing existing project in Android studio. While trying to import I need to set up this path.
The gradle plugin (which contains a bundled version of gradle) should be already installed in where/you/installed/android-studio/plugins/gradle so you shouldn't need to manually download it. Depending on the version of Android Studio, that last directory may be where/you/installed/android-studio/gradle/gradle-x.y.z (x.y.z is the version, so check your filesystem for the exact path).
If you intend on doing gradle development outside Android Studio or want a different version, you can download it separately and point it at that path, but if you only want to get Android Studio working with the bundled version, this path should do it.
For Mac OS, you can use the following -
/usr/local/opt/gradle/libexec/ or more generically - path/to/gradle/libexec/ - this is recommended. (the first path is what's achieved after installing gradle via Homebrew)
/path/to/android/studio/plugins/gradle - I don't recommend this because this version of Gradle might be out of date, and Android Studio itself might say it's incompatible.
You should be able to find it in C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\Gradle\Gradle 2.2.1. This is running Windows 7 64-Bit. Android Studio 1.0.2.
OSX (Less han two minutes)
Open terminal
Check if Gradle installed gradle --version, if so, goto step 4
If not brew install gradle and Goto step 2
Copy /usr/local/opt/gradle/libexec/
Paste it in Import Project Window in Android Studio > Gradle Home
Important, Celebrate!
Download Gradle http://www.gradle.org/downloads
Install
Set Gradle home to the install directory
On Linux run: whereis gradle.
For me it was /usr/lib/gradle/1.10.
I ran into same problem. I selected location C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\plugins\gradle as Gradle Home
In Ubuntu 14.04 after $ sudo apt-get install gradle
I've got
$ whereis gradle
gradle: /usr/bin/gradle /usr/bin/X11/gradle /usr/share/gradle /usr/share/man/man1/gradle.1.gz
The path to Gradle was /usr/share/gradle
For Mac,
/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-3.2
Download Gradle as described above, but make sure you download version 1.9 and not the current release (1.11). I just had the same problem and downloaded the current release only to have Android Studio tell me it wasn't supported.
On Arch Linux I could not find it, so I added:
echo $APP_HOME
to /usr/bin/grade (found over which gradle)
The Install dir for me was /usr/share/java/gradle/
For migrating from eclipse to android studio
(Do not need to specify the Gradle home.)
Locate the project you exported from Eclipse, expand it, select the build.gradle file and click OK.
In the following dialog, leave Use gradle wrapper selected and click OK.

I tried byteit101's solution but whether I chose android-studio-path/plugins/gradle or android-studio-path/plugins/gradle/lib the IDE said it isn't correct.
Then I changed the gradle home to android-studio-path/gradle/gradle-x.x.x and it works.
Mac OSX / Linux
Step 1: Open terminal :)
Step 2: Open .bash_profile in vim to edit:
> vi ~/.bash_profile
Step 3: Add line:
> export GRADLE_HOME=/usr/local/opt/gradle
(for me it was this location, it can be different for u)
Step 4: Add line:
> export PATH="$PATH:$GRADLE_HOME/bin"
(to export bin directory of gradle)
Step 5: Verify by reopening the terminal or new tab, and check by echoing:
> echo $GRADLE_HOME
On Linux Mint 17 it was
/usr/share/gradle
for me
If you are on a Windows machine, go to the directory:
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\
Click the gradle-4.4 folder from Android Studio\File\Settings, and then click the Apply button.
This is my solution on AndroidStudio/Idea for Mac
$ env | grep GRADLE
GRADLE_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/2.6
GRADLE_USER_HOME=/Users/leon/.gradle
I used umake to install android studio. For me the path was
/home/user/.local/share/umake/android/android-studio/gradle/gradle-2.14.1
I had to use this
"C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\gradle-4.1"
Change the version if you have a different one.
I am using Lubuntu, I ended up finding it in :
/usr/share/gradle
Don't need to download or specify anything...
Just go to the install Android Studio plugins Path and search for any file like gradle-wrapper-x.xx.jar (x.xx = version number). Copy it to a subfolder of your project root folder named : gradle.
Example :
- file found gradle-wrapper-1.12.jar in plugins folder of Android Studio Install's path
- my project was on D:\android_repo\myProject
- created a folder into D:\android_repo\myProject\gradle
- copy gradle-wrapper-1.12.jar to this folder D:\android_repo\myProject\gradle
- import again my project and no more question about gradle.
In Windows
..\AndroidStudio2.0Beta6\android-studio\gradle\gradle-2.10
I've stumble across this question, trying to build an Ionic + Cordova app using Gradle from Android Studio installation, rather that installing Gradle separately.
On Centos, the Gradle binary was here: /home/YOURUSERNAME/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-VERSION-all/CUSTOM_HASH/gradle-VERSION/bin
So, I've added export PATH=/home/maxim/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-4.1-all/bzyivzo6n839fup2jbap0tjew/gradle-4.1/bin:$PATH to my ~/.bashrc and ionic cordova run android command worked just fine.
If you are on windows machine, go to the directory C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\ and click the gradle folder and apply it on
This worked.
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\gradle-3.2
If you're using MacPorts gradle's home is:
/opt/local/share/java/gradle
For Ubuntu default version is /usr/lib/gradle/default.
In case of update, you don't need to reassign link in idea/studio.
For OSX, if going to Finder, navigate to this category: /usr/local/opt/ if you do not see gradle folder, install your grandle version manually:
https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip
https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4.1-all.zip
If you are looking for specific Gradle version, simply change the version number from the zip links above, unzip and add that in the Gradle folder /usr/local/opt/gradle
If you are on a Windows machine, gradle home is located inside the installation folder of your Android Studio, usually at:
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\gradle-5.1.1
Change the version if you have a different one.
On Windows it was
C:/Android Studio/jre
