Android Studio gradle-###-bin.zip vs. gradle-###-all.zip

One developer on my team has some setting in Android Studio that replaces the distributionUrl entry in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to use the gradle-###-all.zip, while my Android Studio changes it back to gradle-###-bin.zip.

Basically, my diff always looks like:

-distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.12-all.zip +distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.12-bin.zip

This is annoying. What setting is it, and how do I change it?

Solution 1:

gradle-1.12-all.zip file will have binaries, sources, and documentation. gradle-1.12-bin.zip will have only binaries(That should be enough as you don't need any samples/docs)

If you want to know about gradle wrapper, please check this http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html

Solution 2:

From what I've seen Android Studio recommends to use gradle-*-all.zip and even provides a "quick fix" to change that. On the other hand, the command ./gradlew wrapper sets up the wrapper using gradle-*-bin.zip, overwriting the previous setting. Make sure nobody is calling "./gradlew wrapper" automatically.
