updating Gradle won't work at all

Question

I am trying to update Gradle to version 4.1 (or 4.3). As the current version is 2.14.1 I have tried almost everything, but Gradle just won't update. Have checked settings, repository, dependency, etc, all seem as it should. I also tried restarting Android studio. But still getting the: Error:(1, 0) Minimum supported Gradle version is 4.1. Current version is 2.14.1.

It is driving me insane.

Did you change the gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties ? – Indiana

Answer 1

1. Go to {root}/gradle
2. Open gradle-wrapper.properties file

3. Set your distributionUrl to:

   distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

Arg, I was looking at the gradle inside the app folder, in the {root}/gradle the distributionUrl was still the old one. Changed it and it works. Thanks – Spirelet

Answer 2

try to run this command:

gradle wrapper --gradle-version 4.3

It will update your gradle wrapper version

[Update] If this command doesn't work. Add this block to your build.gradle project level.

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = 4.3
}

and then run the previous command.

Tried this and getting the following error: Task 'wrapper' not found in project ':app'. – Spirelet
