How to check if Gradle dependency has new version?

UPDATE (05/23/18):

The newer version of Android Studio does not show version updates in the Project Structure dialog. Instead, Adam-s answer is the correct one for Android Studio 3+

Analyze > “Run Inspection By Name”

Then search for “Newer Library Versions Available

PREVIOUS WAY:

As of Android Studio 2.2, a new Project Structure dialog shows the list of dependencies your app is using with the available updates from local AND remote repositories as well.

  • Activate it by going to Android Studio > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Gradle > Experimental and check the Use new Project Structure dialog (Thanks @jessehensold)
  • Then open it by going to File > Project Structure > Messages

For older version of Android Studio, see other responses below.
