This version of android studio is incompatible with the gradle version used.Try disabling the instant run

I am able to build the app properly, but when I run it I get this error:

This version of android studio is incompatible with the gradle version used.Try disabling the instant run

You can use normal build run rather than instant run.

Check first

Go to Settings/Preferences > Build, Execution, Deployment option > Instant Run and uncheck all the three boxes.

1. Upgrading Gradle services URL:

   Project > Gradle > Wrapper > gradle-wrapper.properties

   Change URL from

   distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip 
   

   to

   distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.11-all.zip
   

(Find latest distributionUrl gradle plugin version Here: http://services.gradle.org/distributions

**Make sure to use gradle-x.xx-all.zip )

2. Delete your build folder

   When you run project, build folder will be created automatically

3. Go to BUILD option in menu > Clean the project, Build the project

   It should work without instant run.

I had easy steps & correct way also

1 - In Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment option -> Instant Run

2 - Clear Enable instant run to hot swap code

3 - Clean project

p/s : It should totally work.

The Gradle Plugin used is typically the same as the version of Android studio you are using.

Check the Android Studio version

Help → About

and the version will read Android Studio Version X.Y.Z

Then, go to

Project → Gradle Scripts → build.gradle(Project)

and under dependencies change the classpath to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:X.Y.Z'

and rebuild/sync the project.
