Android gradle plugin update to version 7.0

If 'preview tool' you saying is about the AGP Upgrade Assistant:

The assistant allows you to toggle the commands that will be executed
on your project to upgrade to a higher version of AGP, preview exactly
which files will be affected by the AGP upgrade, and lastly globally
update deprecated configurations.

The assistant is automatically prompted when you open a project which is using an older gradle version (or select it manually from Tools > AGP Upgrade Assistant...).

When you select Show Usages button:

And for actual preview purpose, I would back up the project folder (e.g. simply compress to a zip or ideally using a VCS as @MartinZeitler suggests) and then execute update with AGP Upgrade Assistant by submitting Run selected steps button.

If I encounter a problem by upgrade, just delete the project folder and extract from the zip or rollback with VCS.

How to update latest gradle version of kotlin library

4.1.2 is android gradle plugin version, it's not related to gradle version.

Android gradle plugin is shipped with Android Studio, if you wanna use latest version mentioned by @Egor, you have to use Android Studio.

IntelliJ IDEA supports them with a delay - the last supported version at the moment is 7.0.4, which works fine to me, the only problem you might have with it is the lack of support for the 32 target version of Android - but it's not required to upload the app and will work fine on 32 devices, also you can build release version in AS with newest plugin, and develop in IDEA, as to me it seems more performant in KMM projects.

How can I change gradle to work offline in Android Studio Bumblebee for a Flutter project

I suspect that the project was not properly linked with the gradle.build file when I opened it since it's a flutter project.

To fix this close the project and then go to Open > Then select the build.gradle file. This will then open the project as a gradle project and the gradle pane will appear.
