Essentially Matt Daley Johnny Mohseni s solution worked for me    I faced exactly the same problem on a fresh Android Studio V 1 2 1 1 installation  I created a new project  blank activity  and straightaway god this build error   Error Execution failed for task   app compileDebugAidl    gt  aidl is missing   As suggested  changing the gradle dependency from 1 2 3 to 1 3 0-beta1 fixed it   classpath  com android tools build gradle 1 3 0-beta1      lt --- WORKS     classpath  com android tools build gradle 1 2 3      lt --- default - failed   Once 1 3 0-beta1 change was saved  I got a prompt to upgrade dependencies  Upon accepting the request to upgrade  the gradle build status bar at the bottom tracked the packages being synced  When that completed  the build was automatically triggered and completed successfully

I am working with sdk 23 1 0 and gradle 1 3 1  I created a new project edited nothing and got the aidl error  I went into my project gradle file and changed tool to 22 0 1 instead of 23 1 0 and it worked      compileSdkVersion 23    buildToolsVersion  22 0 1     23 1 0

It has been fixed two days ago  so you can use   buildToolsVersion  23 0 0 rc2    with the newest android gradle plugin   classpath  com android tools build gradle 1 3 0-beta2    Note  I had some weird problems with gradle 2 4 distribution  but trying to build the project again has fixed that for me   EDIT  There is a newer version of build-tools 23  so you should probably use   buildToolsVersion  23 0 0 rc3    EDIT 2  And yet again  there are newer version of both gradle plugin and build-tools  so you can switch to using   classpath  com android tools build gradle 1 3 0    and   buildToolsVersion  23 0 0

I was able to get build to work with Build Tools 23 0 0 rc1 if I also opened the project level build gradle file and set the version of the android build plugin to 1 3 0-beta1  Also  I m tracking the canary and preview builds and just updated a few seconds before  so perhaps that helped      Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects modules   buildscript       repositories           jcenter             dependencies           classpath  com android tools build gradle 1 3 0-beta1              NOTE  Do not place your application dependencies here  they belong            in the individual module build gradle files          allprojects       repositories           jcenter

Check if you actually have installed the buildVersionTools you are using  In my case I tried 25 0 1 whilst I only had 25 0 2   To check it go to the SDK Manager  clicking the icon     Then click Launch Standalone SDK Manager at the bottom     Now check whatever you need and install packages     Hope it helps

I had a similar error with a fresh install of Android Studio 1 2 1 1 attempting to build a new blank app for API 22  Android 5 1  Lollipop    I fixed it by simply changing the Build Tools Version from  23 0 0 rc1  to  22 0 1  and then rebuilding   On Windows  F4 opens the Project Structure and the Build Tools Version can be set in the Modules   app section    I think all this does is change the setting in the build gradle file in the app but I didn t want to change that manually just in case it does something more

buildtools layout in 23 0 0 rc2 was reverted  so to be able to use it  you need to upgrade the plugin to 1 3 0-beta2 or higher as i show below

In my case I downloaded version 22 of Android M and Android 5 1 1 using Android Studio 1 2 1 1 but when I try to do a Hello World this same error showed me  So the solution for me was doing right click in app like the image below and choose  Open Module Settings     then there you have 2 options  I ve changed both with the last version I had   Compile SDK version to API 21 Lollipop    and Build Tools Version to 21 1 2    Finally clean the project and Build  UPDATED  TO Get Android Studio 1 3 follow these steps   Open the Settings window by choosing File   Settings   Choose the Appearance  amp  Behavior   System Settings   Updates panel  On the Updates panel  choose the option Automatically check updates for  Canary Chanel  On the Updates panel  select Check Now to check for the latest canary build  Download and install the build when you are prompted    Then you ll have something like this to update your Androud Studio to 1 3 and with this you can test Android M    Update  Real Cause  This bug happens when the versions of SDK  Build Tools and Gradle Plugins doesn t match  in terms of compatibility   The solution is to verify whether you are using the latest version of them or not  The gradle plugins are placed in the build gradle of the project  and the other versions are on the build gradle of the module  For example  for SDK 23  you must use the Build Tools 23 0 1 and gradle plugins version 1 3 1

The problem was actually in the version Android Studio 1 3 updated from the canary channel  I updated my studio to 1 3 and got the same error but reverting back to studio 1 2 1 made my project run fine

I had the same error i fixed it by going to the build gradle  Module  app  and changed this line from      buildToolsVersion  23 0 0 rc1    to    buildToolsVersion  22 0 1    You will need to go the SDK Manager and check if you have the 22 0 1 build tools  If not  you can use the right build tools but avoid the 23 0 0 rc1

I tried to uninstall install and it did not work   I am running OSX 10 10 3 with Android Studio 1 2 1 1 on JDK 1 8 0 45-b14 and the solution I found to work is similar to Jorge Casariego s recommendation   Basically  out of the box you get a build error for a missing  aidl  module so simply changing the Build Tools Version to not be version 23 0 0 rc1 will solve your problem   It appears to have a bug   UPDATE After commenting on an Android issue on their tracker  https   code google com p android issues detail id 175080  a project member from the Android Tools group commented that to use the Build Tools Version 23 0 0 rc1 you need to be using Android Gradle Plugin 1 3 0-beta1  Android Studio comes configured with 1 2 3    He also noted  read the issue comments  that the IDE should have given an notification that you need to do this to make it work   For me I have not seen a notification and I ve requested clarification from that project member  Nonetheless his guidance solved the issue perfectly so read on   Solution  Open your build gradle for your Project  not Module    Find the line classpath com android tools build gradle xxx under dependencies where xxx is the Gradle Plugin version and make the update   Save and Rebuild your project   Here is the Android Gradle docs for managing your Gradle versions  https   developer android com tools revisions gradle-plugin html

To build your application without aidl is missing error with compileSdkVersion 23 and buildToolsVersion  23 0 1  you should specify latest versions for Android Gradle plugin  and Google Play Services Gradle plugin if you are using it  in main build gradle file   buildscript       repositories                         dependencies           classpath  com android tools build gradle 1 3 1          classpath  com google gms google-services 1 3 1
