I changed gradle-user-home by changing “Service directory path” in Android Studio. I put my gradle.properties in new gradle-user-home. After that, I tried to build my project, my gradle doesn’t seems to be reading gradle.properties from new gradle-user-home location. It is only checking the project and sub project directories.
If I don’t change “Service directory path” in Android Studio (defaulting to /Users/vijaykedia/.gradle which is $HOME/.gradle), then it works fine.
Gradle Version: 2.10
Operating System: OS X 10.11.5
