"Very good"

Post 1.0 Compatibility
starting with Android Studio 1.0 and the Gradle plugin for Android 1.0, compatibility is a critical requirement.While we is still looking at finalizing we have policy you should at least expect:
Studio 1.xWorks with Gradle Plugin 1.y

Newer versions of the Gradle plugin may require newer versions of Studio to enable the new features in the IDE, BU T the project should open in older versions of Studio, and build from there (since Gradle does the build). We'll be very careful. We'll determine later our compatibility stories between Studio 2.x and Gradle Plugin 1.x and between Studio 1.x and Gr Adle Plugin 2.x We'll make every effort to keep compatibility where possible, and to provide good Quick Assist t o Help with migration where applicable.

Gradle Plugin 1.0.0-1.1.3Works with Gradle 2.2.1-2.3.

It does with Gradle 2.4+

Gradle Plugin 1.2+Works with Gradle [2.2.1, 3.0[

Newer versions of the Plugin may require a newer version of Gradle to benefit from advanced features.

However the current 1.2+ should [2.2.1, 3.0[ (We cannot guaranteed compatibility with 3.x as it may introduce breaking Changes:gradle 1.x-&G T 2.0 introduced Groovy breaking changes)

&NBSP; Android Studio	Android Gradle Plugin	< Strong> gradle
1.0.0 +	1.0.0-1.1.3	2.2.1-2.3
1.0.0+	1.2+	2.2.1+

Post 1.0 DSL Compatibility

The DSL changed a lot before 1.0, but it should is stable now.

If/when We need to change things we 'll have a long depreca tion periods, likely longer than 6 months, possibly, months.

Preview CompatibilityThis table indicate compatibility for pre-1.0.
All this breaking changes happened because we tweaked the model exchanged between the IDE and Gradle a lot. All the work is to ensure stability after 1.0.
