Seeing dependency tree

suggest change

Use the task dependencies. Depending on how your modules are set up, it may be either ./gradlew dependencies or to see the dependencies of module app use ./gradlew :app:dependencies

The example following build.gradle file

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.2.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.1.1'

    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87'
}

will produce the following graph:

Parallel execution is an incubating feature.
:app:dependencies

|    |    \--- com.android.support:support-vector-drawable:23.2.1 (*)
|    \--- com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.2.1
|         +--- com.android.support:support-v4:23.2.1 (*)
|         \--- com.android.support:support-annotations:23.2.1
+--- com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.1.1
\--- com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87
     \--- com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.0 -> 23.2.1 (*)

. . .

Here you can see the project is directly including com.android.support:design version 23.2.1, which itself is bringing com.android.support:support-v4 with version 23.2.1. However, com.google.android.gms:play-services itself has a dependency on the same support-v4 but with an older version 21.0.0, which is a conflict detected by gradle.

(*) are used when gradle skips the subtree because those dependencies were already listed previously.
