Answer 1

No need to downgrade!

Disabling configure on demand requires two steps:

1. Remove org.gradle.configureondemand from gradle.properties.

2. In Android Studio,
   For Mac go to the Preferences > Build, Execution, Deployment > Compiler and uncheck the configure on demand.
   For Linux/Windows go to the File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Compiler and uncheck the configure on demand.

Note, there are 2 gradle.properties files

1. In your project gradle.properties
2. ${HOME}/.gradle/gradle.properties
