This is android s way of telling you to upgrade gradle to the most recent version   You can do two things-   Upgrade to the newer version of gradle  You may face new errors after the upgrade  eg  if you are upgrading to 4 1  you will have to adapt to new syntax -  compile  is no longer valid  use  implementation    Update your ANDROID DAILY OVERRIDE variable to the value given  Go to Computer -  Properties -  Advanced System Settings -  Environment Variables  and create a new variable or update value of existing ANDROID DAILY OVERRIDE  As the name suggests  this value is only valid for one day and next day you will again have to override the variable

If you want to continue to use the newest development versions then this problem can reoccur each time your version is far enough out of date   I ve been keeping an up-to-date list of the most current development versions as well as the stable version on my answer to this similar question  so that I can fix it each time I get a new warning   Android Studio 2 0 - Plugin is too old  please update to a more recent version  or set ANDROID DAILY OVERRIDE

As a side note  I have been getting the same error in completely unrelated situation - after my system clock year setting has been changed  i e  2015 -  2016   changing the clock back to the correct one solved the issue    Note 1  I m posting this mainly because I had the exactly same error message  but the working solution proven to be different than just updating the plugin s version  as posted by Jared Burrows    Note 2  using  classpath  com android tools build gradle      can make the plugin version default to newest one  Bear in mind that your build may break on API changes  and is  for that very reason  discouraged by Android API docs   so use this at your own risk only if you re constantly updating the version anyway
