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.

You can disable instant run by follow these steps in Android Studio:

> File → Settings → Preferences dialog → Build → Execution → Deployment > → Instant Run → Update Project

This feature introduced in Android Studio 2. however, when you disable it, next time when you try to push new app to your emulator is running much slower.

In my case I just update Android Studio to the latest build from canary channel and it's works without disable this feature.

Hope it's help

As commented by sjd: Just cleaning the project and build again might help if you, just like me, have used the automatic update applied by android studio.

I just did a Build > Clean project and then reRun app!

I wanted to run the app in debug mode and got the same message, so I tried:

• File > Invalidate caches and restart...
• Clean project
• Build project

Nothing worked...

Then, I just clicked on the green arrow to run the project without debugging...

Worked!

So then I just added a debugging session with the option left of the stop button in Android Studio.

I did fix by this way.

Update your classpath to classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0' in your top level build.gradle file.

Done

I just Deleted the Build Folder and Clean project.It worked for me...!!!

In Android Studio 2.3.3

File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Instant Run -> Unable Instant Run to hot swap code (Uncheck it)

Now, you have disable Instant Run...

It will solve Instant Run issue.
