Trying to initiate Gradly Sync from Android Studio (Android Studio Ladybug | 2024.2.1 Patch 2) on Mac is an impossible task. The Gradle plugin page tells you that: “To use the Gradle tool window, select View | Tool Windows | Gradle.”. There is no such option in that menu. There is no “elephant icon” anywhere, there is no Sync Gradle option in the File menu. At least take a step and replace the misleading information with something useful. Talk to the Android Studio team on how not to screw users over and over again would be nice.
You are largely at the wrong place here.
Android Studio is maintained by Google and the Gradle plugin is a built-in functionality.
Actually AS is a customized version of IntelliJ IDEA which is maintained by JetBrains who also develop the built-in Gradle plugin.
So if you are unhappy with the AS or IJ Gradle integration, you have to turn to those for improvement.
This is a Gradle community where users like me help users like you.
Besides that, in IJ I do see the mentioned menu entry, even on non-Gradle projects just that there it is disabled, which seems fine. If on AS it is not even shown, that’s just another hint that your confusion is caused by the Google-customizations and should be reported on their AS issue tracker.
Hi, thanks for the reply and clarification.
