How do I show dependencies tree in Android Studio?

Question

My goal is to see the tree of dependencies (such as: appcompat, dagger, etc) in a particular project.

Like the one IntelliJ:

Answer 1

Simple use is to type text to Terminal or PowerShell:

./gradlew app:dependencies

Advanced usage:

./gradlew app:dependencies --configuration implementation
./gradlew app:dependencies --configuration testImplementation
./gradlew app:dependencies --configuration androidTestImplementation

Answer 2

In latest android studio canary version you have dependency analyzer in Gradle tool

Answer 3

The image in the question doesn't really show a tree, just a flat list of everything compiled into the app.

Are you using Gradle?

If so, you can truly see the "tree" by running a Gradle command

Android documentation: View the dependency tree

GUI

1. Select View > Tool Windows > Gradle (or click Gradle icon in the tool windows bar).
2. Expand AppName > Tasks > android and double-click androidDependencies. After Gradle executes the task, the Run window should open to display the output.

CLI

(produces tree-like list)

./gradlew app:dependencies

and/or

(produces flat list)

./gradlew app:androidDependencies

Where app is your module's name

And you get something like so

+--- MyApp:mylibrary:unspecified
|    \--- com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1
|         +--- com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:25.3.1
|         |    \--- com.android.support:support-vector-drawable:25.3.1
|         |         \--- com.android.support:support-v4:25.3.1
|         |              \--- LOCAL: internal_impl-25.3.1.jar
|         +--- com.android.support:support-v4:25.3.1
|         |    \--- LOCAL: internal_impl-25.3.1.jar
|         \--- com.android.support:support-vector-drawable:25.3.1
|              \--- com.android.support:support-v4:25.3.1
|                   \--- LOCAL: internal_impl-25.3.1.jar
\--- com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1
     +--- com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:25.3.1
     |    \--- com.android.support:support-vector-drawable:25.3.1
     |         \--- com.android.support:support-v4:25.3.1
     |              \--- LOCAL: internal_impl-25.3.1.jar
     +--- com.android.support:support-v4:25.3.1
     |    \--- LOCAL: internal_impl-25.3.1.jar
     \--- com.android.support:support-vector-drawable:25.3.1
          \--- com.android.support:support-v4:25.3.1
               \--- LOCAL: internal_impl-25.3.1.jar

For specific flavor use the command

gradle app:dependencies --configuration <flavorNameRuntimeClasspath>

Note: If you run ls (or dir on Windows) in that folder, and don't see gradlew (or gradlew.bat), you are in the wrong folder.

Android Studio 3.4

Inspect and visualize each dependency in the dependency graph of your project, as resolved by Gradle during project sync, by following these steps:

1. Android Studio -> File -> Project Structure (Dialog)
2. In the left pane of the "Project Structure" window, select Dependencies.
3. In the Modules pane, select a module for which you’d like to inspect the resolved dependencies.

4. For Android Studio 3.6 and above: On the right side of the "Project Structure" window, look at the Resolved Dependencies pane. An example is shown below, where you can click on the Expand arrows to navigate into each sub-dependency. However, it does not allow text searching, like the console output does.

Answer 5

Click the Gradle tab and go to AppName > Tasks > help > dependencies

Answer 6

Android Studio 3.+

• Open the Gradle panel
• Click the elephant icon, which has the tooltip "Execute Gradle Task"

• Select the app gradle project
• In the command line paste: dependencies
• Click OK

In the Run panel you will find the dependency tree.

---

Another method:

• Open the Gradle panel

• Find the "(root)" postfix and open (app's folder name)

• Open the Tasks node

• Open the android node

• Double click on the "androidDependencies"

In the Run panel you will find the dependency list

Before a normal build switch back to the normal Build Configuration (next to the hammer)

Another useful tool:

How to find what dependency is updated: https://github.com/ben-manes/gradle-versions-plugin

Usage

• Add this to project level build.gradle

  apply plugin: "com.github.ben-manes.versions"
  
  buildscript {
    repositories {
      jcenter()    
    }
  
    dependencies {
      classpath "com.github.ben-manes:gradle-versions-plugin:0.20.0"
    }
  }
  

• Sync Now

• Open the Gradle panel
• Click the elephant icon
• Select the root project
• In the command line paste: dependencyUpdates
• Click OK
• Wait a little bit

In the Run panel you will find the result.

Answer 7

terminal command to see all dependencies list is

 ./gradlew -q dependencies app:dependencies --configuration implementation

Answer 8

On the right side, open the gradle tab > click the gradle icon (execute gradle task), in the popup dialog enter :

app:dependencies

in the command line field > ok

Answer 9

Finally, I figured it out. What I do is to select Project from Project menu (See the image below).
