How to open GRADLE file?

The most common problem when using Android Studio Build Data Format is that a specific GRADLE is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open GRADLE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GRADLE file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Android Studio

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Android Studio is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Android Studio in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file GRADLE with Android Studio. Below is a list of programs that support the file GRADLE.

Programs to open GRADLE file

Remember to download programs supporting GRADLE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Android Studio with GRADLE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GRADLE file still does not use the Android Studio program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GRADLE file with the Android Studio application.

Step 3. Update Android Studio to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Android Studio program, it is possible that Android Studio Build Data Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Google Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GRADLE file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The GRADLE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the GRADLE file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GRADLE file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected GRADLE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GRADLE files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GRADLE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted GRADLE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the GRADLE file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
