Android Studio 3.1.3: fix warning compile, androidTestCompile and testCompile

Fix Warning:

1. Configuration 'compile' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'implementation'
2. Configuration 'androidTestCompile' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'androidTestImplementation'
3. Configuration 'testCompile' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'testImplementation'

My Android studio:

• Android Studio 3.1.3
• buildToolsVersion "28.0.0"
• Compile Target SDK 28 / min SDK 17

Open Project -> Gradle Scripts -> build-gradle (Module: app)

1. Change 'compile' to 'implementation'
2. Change 'androidTestCompile' to 'androidTestImplementation'
3. Change 'testCompile' to 'testImplementation'

For exmaple my previous

android {

    compileSdkVersion 27

    buildToolsVersion "27.0.3"

    defaultConfig {

        minSdkVersion 17

        targetSdkVersion 27

...

dependencies {

    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {

        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'

    })

    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+'

    compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'

    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

    compile 'org.jsoup:jsoup:+'

    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:11.2.2'

}

After update

android {

    compileSdkVersion 28

    buildToolsVersion "28.0.0"

    defaultConfig {

        minSdkVersion 17

        targetSdkVersion 28

...

dependencies {

    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'

    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.+'

    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.2'

    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'

    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'

    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.1'

} 

You may need to change "Gradle Scripts" -> "build.gradle (Project:[your_project_name])"

buildscript {

    repositories {

        jcenter()

        google() 

    }

    dependencies {

        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong

        // in the individual module build.gradle files

    }

}
