Gradle 0.9.+/0.9.2 error: Unable to load class 'com.android.builder.testing.api.DeviceProvider'

Question

This morning, all Android Studio projects started failing Gradle sync/build/clean with:

> Could not create plugin of type \'         


        

Answer 1

In order to use the latest Gradle version 0.9.+, you have to update gradlewrapper.properties file too.

Open gradlewrapper.properties file which locate under youProjectPath/gradle/wrapper/gradlewrapper.properties path:

change distributionUrl url From

distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.10-all.zip

To

distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.11-all.zip

After that, I changed build.gradle dependencies to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.9.+'

and synced gradle files and everything when good.

Cheers
