# gradlePath

> Path to the Gradle used for building Android applications.

## Definition

* **Type:** Property
* **Namespace:** [UnityEditor.Android](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityeditor/android.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEditor.Android.Extensions

```csharp
public static string gradlePath { get; set; }
```

### Remarks

* If you provide an empty string or a null, Unity enables the **Installed with Unity (recommended)** option in the Android section of the **External Tools** window.
* If you provide a valid, non-empty path, Unity disables the **Installed with Unity (recommended)** option and uses the Gradle at the specified path.
* If you provide an invalid, non-empty path, Unity throw an exception.

### Examples

```csharp
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEditor.Android;

public class GradlePathSample
{
    [MenuItem("Build/Set Custom Gradle Path")]
    public static void SetGradlePath()
    {
        // Set a custom path for the Gradle installation
        string customGradlePath = "/path/to/your/gradle";
        AndroidExternalToolsSettings.gradlePath = customGradlePath;
        Debug.Log($"Gradle Path set to: {AndroidExternalToolsSettings.gradlePath}");
    }
    [MenuItem("Build/Reset Gradle Path To Default")]
    public static void ResetGradlePath()
    {
        // Reset Gradle path to Unity's default
        AndroidExternalToolsSettings.gradlePath = string.Empty;
        Debug.Log("Gradle Path reset to 'Installed with Unity (recommended)'.");
    }
    [MenuItem("Build/Get Current Gradle Path")]
    public static void GetGradlePath()
    {
        // Retrieve the currently configured Gradle path
        string currentGradlePath = AndroidExternalToolsSettings.gradlePath;

        Debug.Log($"Current Gradle Path: {currentGradlePath}");
    }
}
```
