Upgrade Gradle in Android Studio

As you update the version of Android Studio IDE, the version of Gradle will also get updated, or you will receive a prompt asking to update to the latest version of Gradle that's available that is compatible with your Android Studio.

But if you missed it, and want to update the Gradle Build tool to the latest version available, you can do that manually, but make sure that which versions will work with Android Studio plugin versions.
