How to change the version of the 'default gradle wrapper' in IntelliJ IDEA?

Question

I want to use Gradle 1.10 instead of 1.9. I cannot seem to find where to change this.

If I put this:

task wrapper(t         


        

Answer 1

First, let gradle set the correct distribution Url

cd projectDirectory
./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 2.3.0

Then - might not be needed but that's what I did - edit the project's build.gradle to match the version

    dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.0'

    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}

Finally, delete the folders .gradle and gradle and the files gradlew and gradlew.bat. (Original Answer)

Now, rebuild the project.

Answer 2

The easiest way is to execute the following command from the command line (see Upgrading the Gradle Wrapper in documentation):

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 5.5

Moreover, you can use --distribution-type parameter with either bin or all value to choose a distribution type. Use all distribution type to avoid a hint from IntelliJ IDEA or Android Studio that will offer you to download Gradle with sources:

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 5.5 --distribution-type all

Or you can create a custom wrapper task

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '5.5'
}

and run ./gradlew wrapper.

Answer 3

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=5.4.1 --distribution-type=bin

https://gradle.org/install/#manually

To check:

 ./gradlew tasks

To input it without command:

go to-> gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties distribution url and change it to the updated zip version

output:

 ./gradlew tasks

Answer 4

Open the file gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties in your project. Change the version in the distributionUrl to use the version you want to use, e.g.,

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip
