Android Studio Where Is Gradle.Properties File

Android studio where is gradle.properties file?

Just create a file called gradle.properties in your root project:

root
|--gradle.properties
|--build.gradle
|--settings.gradle
|--app
|----build.gradle

Then add inside the file:

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m

where is gradle properties file located in gradle project?

There are 2 possible location for gradle.properties file:

1. project build dir
2. gradle user home

Note, gradle.properties file is not necessary located within your projects files. If it's absent, look for it in your gradle user home directory (as in users guide said: it's defined by the GRADLE_USER_HOME environment variable, which if not set defaults to USER_HOME/.gradle).

It's used to configure Java process, used to build your project.

You can read more about it in the Gradle official user guide

Android Studio does not include global gradle.properties file?

Well, turns out I'm an idiot and didn't show hidden file endings... Therefore I didn't notice that my file was actually named gradle.properties.txt instead of gradle.properties

Where to put the gradle.properties file

Gradle looks for gradle.properties files in these places:

• in project build dir (that is where your build script is)
• in sub-project dir
• in gradle user home (defined by the GRADLE_USER_HOME environment variable, which if not set defaults to USER_HOME/.gradle)

Properties from one file will override the properties from the previous ones (so file in gradle user home has precedence over the others, and file in sub-project has precedence over the one in project root).

Some light on gradle.properties, settings.gradle, gradle-wrapper.properties and local.properties

gradle.properties

Using gradle.properties to create universal variables
This solution is limited to Android projects as far as I know. In /gradle.properties you can define your universal or project level variables as such: Link

myBuildToolsVersion=20.0.0

myMinSdkVersion=10

myTargetSdkVersion=22

myCompileSdkVersion=22

gradle-wrapper.properties

Internally, Android Studio uses the version of Gradle that is defined in the wrapper configuration. That configuration can be found in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties. When Google decides that it is time to use a new version of Gradle, Android Studio will display a message nudging you to upgrade. All you need to do then is click the message and Android Studio will edit the properties file and synchronize the Gradle installation for you. Link

local.properties

The local.properties file goes in the project's root level.

This file should not be included in source control. After (incorrectly) including this in source control, then deleting the file locally, Android Studio re-created the file for me automatically.

Here is the example content of this file:

## This file is automatically generated by Android Studio.
# Do not modify this file -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE ERASED!
#
# This file must *NOT* be checked into Version Control Systems,
# as it contains information specific to your local configuration.
#
# Location of the SDK. This is only used by Gradle.
# For customization when using a Version Control System, please read the
# header note.

sdk.dir=C\:\\Program Files (x86)\\Android\\android-studio\\sdk

Note the sdk.dir= reference to the location of the Android Studio SDK installation (which may be different on different machines).

settings.gradle

• ':lib' is a logical project path, which gets mapped to a physical path based on information provided in settings.gradle.
• A multi-project build can have an arbitrary directory structure, which is configured in settings.gradle. No need to move directories around, unless you want to. Link

gradle.properties file is missing from .gradle folder in windows

The propery file gradle.properties is not created automatically during Gradle installation. You can create this file manually and add your specific configuration into it. Note that there are two places where you can create a gradle.properties file, as described in documentation Gradle configuration properties
