New to intellij android studio, can't open sample projects without Gradle error

i just switched to intellij and pretty new to android development.. I've been working on one app for 5 moth and now that i moved it to intellij android studio my options menus became invisible. I've been reading a lot and trying to catch up with newest features that are available now today.

By biggest pain is that im hitting this error ->

Failed to refresh Gradle project 'ActionBarCompat-ListPopupMenu' You are using Gradle version 1.8, which is not supported. Please use version 1.9. Please point to a supported Gradle version in the project's Gradle settings or in the project's Gradle wrapper (

I did search on this problem and some pages suggesting changing classpath to soething like build:gradle:0.7.+ but that doest help..

What am i doing wrong? All i need is just to make those examples from android to work..

Thanks

Just a note to say : Scorr Berba's reply was probably the correct one. Also I'm not sure 1.11 can be used - I used the wrapper (there is a lot of confusion here : the wrapper is the gradlew ["gradle*w*"rapper] to set the gradle used for my samples to 1.10 and you must set up your project to use the wrapper OR you can build from the command line e.g "./gradlew build".

I think i figured this out.. Big thanks to Scott and Jaap.

I did updateof my intellij to 0.5.2, also i installed 19.0.3 ( newest build tools). On few of the existing projects i had to change distributionUrl to distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.11-all.zip

After rebuilding the project it worked like a charm.

The Gradle wrapper file is at the path (project-root)/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties. The distributionUrl property is where you set the Gradle version; it's embedded in the URL:

distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.9-all.zip

First make sure you've updated to the newest Android SDK Build-tools version, the most current one is 19.0.3; if you haven't, then open the Android SDK manager and update.

Then look in the build.gradle file inside your project folder (not the one in the root folder). This first couple of lines should resemble something like this:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.9.+'
    }
}

Set the class path to com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.9.+.

Then further along in the same file:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 18
    buildToolsVersion "19.0.3"
    ...
}

Set buildToolsVersion to 19.0.3 (the newest version).

Make sure Android Studio syncs the Gradle file changes. If it doesn't, restart Android Studio and/or rebuild the project. Then you should be good to go.
