Android – Configuration on demand is not supported by the current version of the Android Gradle plugin

androidandroid-gradle-plugin

After upgrading to Android Studio 3.1.2 I am getting the following error:

Configuration on demand is not supported by the current version of the Android Gradle plugin since you are using Gradle version 4.6 or above. Suggestion: disable configuration on demand by setting org.gradle.configureondemand=false in your gradle.properties file or use a Gradle version less than 4.6.

I attempted following the suggestion but this did not fix the issue. Any ideas? All help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

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
