Method #2: Using the GUI ways to achieve the result (Mac)
You will get the same result as stated in method #1 above on a Mac. Only the names of certain settings are different.
Navigate to Android Studio -> Preferences-> Build, Execution, Deployment-> Compiler
The GUI Method
Note: To view the Compiler option in the newest versions of AS (2.2 and 2.3), exit the open project, go to AS begin (where the current projects are shown), and select Configure -> Preferences->Build, Execution,Deployment. Otherwise, the Compiler is hidden.
Method #3: Adding through the configurations
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
force 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.0.0'
}
}
Adding the Configurations in the Gradle

If you’re a fan of the Android Studio terminal then this might turn to be the best one for you as this involves using the terminal to add the Stacktrace option and achieve the required result. Input the above statement in the Android Studio’s terminal and results will start popping.
