Using Gradle to find dependency tree

Solution 1:

Without modules:

gradle dependencies

For Android:

 gradle app:dependencies

Using gradle wrapper:

./gradlew app:dependencies

Note: Replace app with the project module name.

Additionally, if you want to check if something is compile vs. testCompile vs androidTestCompile dependency as well as what is pulling it in:

./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --configuration compile --dependency <name>
./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --configuration testCompile --dependency <name>
./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --configuration androidTestCompile --dependency <name>

Solution 2:

You can render the dependency tree with the command gradle dependencies. For more information check the section Listing dependencies in a project in the online user guide.

Solution 3:

If you find it hard to navigate console output of gradle dependencies, you can add the Project reports plugin:

apply plugin: 'project-report'

And generate a HTML report using:

$ ./gradlew htmlDependencyReport

Report can normally be found in build/reports/project/dependencies/index.html

It looks like this:

Solution 4:

In Android Studio (at least since v2.3.3) you can run the command directly from the UI:

Click on the Gradle tab and then double click on :yourmodule -> Tasks -> android -> androidDependencies

The tree will be displayed in the Gradle Console tab
