Android-Studio upgraded from 0 1 9 to 0 2 0 causing gradle build errors now

Question

My current project had been building with Gradle just fine  since I created it  about a month ago   after acquiring Android-Studio   I installed some earlier updates to Android-Studio  and had no problems with those    But  today  after I upgraded Android-Studio s newest update to a  July 11th  build  going from version 0 1 9 to 0 2 0  my project started complaining that Gradle now needs to be at minimum of 0 5 0   My project was asking for Gradle 0 4  and this new Studio upgrade flagged my Gradle build and stated it would NOW need this new higher minimum of Gradle   So  what I m unclear about   I ve been assuming Gradle is PART of  bundled with  Android Studio   Do I now need to get a newer Gradle  as a separate product update   I m confused     EDIT   This is happening under Windows-7

if you get this error  Gradle   FAILURE  Could not determine which tasks to execute    What went wrong  Task  assemble  not found in root project  MyProject     Try  Run gradle tasks to get a list of available tasks    You need to edit your Projects  iml file  not the one under src  the one that is like               myappProject iml  delete the whole component name   facetmanager      lt module external system id  GRADLE  type  JAVA MODULE  version  4  gt   lt component name  FacetManager  gt     remove this element and everything inside such as  lt facet gt  elements     lt  component gt   lt component name  NewModuleRootManager  inherit-compiler-output  true  gt     keep this part     lt  component

Ok  I finally resolved this  by completely de-installing Android-Studio  and then installing the latest  0 2 0  from scratch   EDIT  I also had to use the Android SDK-Manager  and install the component in the  Extras  section called the Android Support Repository  as mentioned elsewhere    Note  This does NOT fix my old existing project   that one still will not build  as indicated above   But  it DOES solve the issue of now being able to at least create NEW projects going forward  that build ok using  Gradle    So  basically  I re-created my proj from scratch under a new name  and copied all my code and project xml-files  etc  from the old project  into the newly-created one     As an aside  I ve got an idea  Google  Why don t you refer to versions of Android-Studio using numbers like 0 1 9 and 0 2 0  but then when users click on  About  menu item  or search elsewhere for what version they are running  you could baffle them with crap like  the July 11th build  or aka  some build number with 6 or 8 digits of numbering  and make them wonder what version they actually have   That will keep the developers guessing   really will sort the wheat from the chaff  etc    For example  I originally installed a kit named  android-studio-bundle-130 687321-windows exe  Today  I got the  0 2 0  kit     and it has a name like  android-studio-bundle-130 737825-windows exe  Yep  this version  ing system is about as clear as mud  Why bother with the illusion of version s  when you don t use them

Solution for me without reinstalling or creating a new project   Step 1  Change line in build gradle from   dependencies       classpath  com android tools build gradle 0 4      to  dependencies       classpath  com android tools build gradle 0 5        Note  for newer versions of gradle you may need to change it to 0 6   instead   Step 2  In the  lt YourProject gt  iml file  delete the entire lt component name  FacetManager  gt       lt  component gt  tag   Step 3  Maybe not necessary   In the Android SDK manager  install  if not already installed  Android Support Repository under Extras     Info found here

Gradle should be updated already  you just need to let your previous projects know gradle has been updated    Source  Edit your build gradle file to show this    dependencies   classpath  com android tools build gradle 0 5        This should only be required for projects created with the previous version of Android Studio  New projects you create will have that by default

now you can use the last 1 0 0-rc1 this way    classpath  com android tools build gradle 1 0 0-rc1    This needs Gradle 2 0 if you don t have it Android Studio will ask you to download it
