What SDK Versions + Roboelectric version can I use to have a functioning gradle file?

I have issues with my app/build.gradle file as roboelectric version 3.1 and sdkVersion 23 are outdated and do not seem to work with latest Android Studio.

Can somebody add an update to show which versions should be used in 2019?

Thanks.

Hi Clemens. Your compileSdkVersion should be the newest stable version available, so 28 as of Feb 2019.

With Android Studio 3.3.1, you should have:

  • Android Gradle plugin 3.3.1
  • Gradle 4.10.1

(Android Studio should offer you to update it all once you modify your compileSdkVersion)

As for Robolectrics, their setup guide tells us that the current version is 4.2.

Hope that helps :)

Thanks Lauren, I hope this info will be added to the course material so that everybody is already aware of this when doing this course ;-)
