How can I check which Gradle Android plugin version is used in my project?

Question

In my build.gradle file I set the following dependency:

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
} 

This will automatically adapt to the latest released version (like it's described here).

How can I check wich current release is used in my project?

EDIT 2013-08-08:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
    }
}

Answer 1

Showing the resolved dependencies for the build script class path isn't a built-in operation as for other configurations (which can be inspected with gradle dependencies). However, you can write a task to do so. For example:

task showClasspath  {
    doLast {
        buildscript.configurations.classpath.each { println it.name }
    }
}

A variation that just shows the Android plugin version:

task showVersion {
    doLast {
        println buildscript.configurations.classpath.resolvedConfiguration.firstLevelModuleDependencies.moduleVersion
    }
}

Answer 2

Newer versions of Gradle (3.0+, and possibly earlier) support a built-in buildEnvironment task that shows the dependency graph for buildscript.

./gradlew buildEnvironment

Answer 3

To determine what revision of the plugin you are using, check the version declaration in the project-level build.gradle file.

Source

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

In the above example, the Gradle Android plugin version/revision is 1.3.0

Answer 4

try the following code:

com.android.builder.Version.ANDROID_GRADLE_PLUGIN_VERSION

This is the easiest one I think.
