   > If an Android Studio project is using gradle wrapper in this way, maybe 
Cordova can do it in the same way?
   
   It does already -- The wrapper is downloaded/installed by Gradle itself. 
Instead of using the main projects gradle build environment to install the 
wrapper, which only supports a fairly limited gradle version range... we use an 
empty gradle build script, which is that "tools" project I mentioned.
   
   The wrapper gets installed inside the tools project. Then we simply copy the 
wrapper files up to the main project so that the Android IDE finds and uses 
that wrapper.
   
   Android Studio does ship with its own gradle -- so it doesn't run into the 
version conflicts cause it basically always has an acceptable gradle version 
builtin. But that gradle is not shipped as a standalone executable, it's a java 
library that Android Studio uses to do gradle tasks programmatically -- so we 
can't really take advantage of that.
   
   And even if it was a standalone executable -- using it would make a new 
dependency on Android Studio, Cordova should be usable with the android sdk 
tools alone without android studio.
