Determining the latest stable Android SDK

I use these links to find the latest. Mostly the android website:

compileSdk & targetSdk: Scroll down to platforms table. Both are equal to the latest platform version's API i.e. 27

supportLibVersion: Whichever one is a stable release

gradle & plugin version: Be sure to updgrade gradle & plugin from this page

googlePlayServicesVersion: Scroll to the table and whatever the tailing number is on each row

buildToolsVersion: Apparently you dont need to declare build tools anymore after gradle version 3.0.0 but just in case you need it

firebase: Find all libs as needed

I usually set the following in my project level build.gradle and set a variable for it to use in my other build.gradle:

ext {
    compileSdkVersion   = xxxx
    targetSdkVersion    = xxxx
    supportLibVersion   = "xxxx"
    buildToolsVersion   = "xxxx"
    googlePlayServicesVersion = "xxxx"
}

If you keep those bookmarked you should be able to find the latest for each easily
