In your top level build gradle you seem to have the code  android      compileSdkVersion 19    buildToolsVersion  19 1       You can t have this code at the top level build gradle because the android build plugin isn t loaded just yet  You can define the compile version and build tools version in the app level build gradle

Change to root build gradle file  to     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 5 0              NOTE  Do not place your application dependencies here  they belong            in the individual module build gradle files          allprojects       repositories           jcenter            task clean type  Delete        delete rootProject buildDir

I went ahead and downloaded the project from the link you provided  http   javapapers com android android-chat-bubble   Since this is an old tutorial  you simply need to upgrade the software  gradle  the android build tools and plugin   Make sure you have the latest Gradle and Android Studio    https   www gradle org  http   tools android com tech-docs new-build-system version-compatibility   build gradle   buildscript       repositories           jcenter              dependencies           classpath  com android tools build gradle 2 1 2           allprojects       repositories           jcenter             app build gradle   apply plugin   com android application   android       compileSdkVersion 23     buildToolsVersion  23 0 3       defaultConfig           minSdkVersion 9         targetSdkVersion 23         versionCode 1         versionName  1 0           dependencies       compile  com android support appcompat-v7 23 2 1      Then run gradle   gradle installDebug

This error has occurred when i was importing a project from Github  This happens as the project was of older version  Just try to delete these methods below from your root gradle   android           compileSdkVersion 19         buildToolsVersion  19 1          then try again   I hope it works

Another solution if you have installed android-studio-bundle-143 2915827-windows and gradle2 14  You can verify in      C  Program Files Android Android Studio gradle if you have gradle-2 14   Then you must go to     C  Users  AndroidStudioProjects android app   And in this build gradle you put this code   buildscript   repositories   jcenter     dependencies   classpath  com android tools build gradle 2 1 2     NOTE  Do not place your application dependencies here  they belong    in the individual module build gradle files     allprojects   repositories   jcenter         Then  go to       C  Users Raul AndroidStudioProjects android app Desnutricion infantil app  And in this build gradle you put   apply plugin   com android application  android   compileSdkVersion 23 buildToolsVersion  24 0 0  defaultConfig   minSdkVersion 19 targetSdkVersion 23 versionCode 1 versionName  1 0      dependencies   compile  com android support appcompat-v7 23 3 0      You must check your sdk version and the buildTools      compileSdkVersion 23     buildToolsVersion  24 0 0   Save all changes and restart AndroidStudio and all should be fine

I got this same error when I was trying to import an Eclipse NDK project into Android Studio  It turns out  for NDK support in Android Studio  you need to use a new gradle and android plugin  and gradle version 2 5  for that matter   This plugin  requires changes in the module s build gradle file  Specifically the  android       object should be inside  model       object like this   apply plugin   com android model application  model       android                      So if you have updated your gradle configuration to use the new gradle plugin  and the new android plugin  but didn t change the module s build gradle syntax  you could get  Gradle DSL method not found   android     error    I prepared a patch file here that has some further explanations in the comments  https   gist github com shumoapp 91d815de6e01f5921d1f These are the changes I had to do after importing the native-audio ndk project into Android Studio

What worked for me was to import the project with  File -  New -  Project from Version Control  then choose your online source  GitHub for example   This way all the  gradle files were created in the import

I have tried to manage this issue via below steps    Delete android         block in top level root gradle file  Look into    compileSdkVersion 22  buildToolsVersion  22 0 0    lines of code in app gradle file here only one of the  version persent in below dropdown should be present else it would give provide option to downloaad the same

For some unknown reason  Android Studio incorrectly adds the android    method in the top-level build gradle file   Just delete the method and it works for me   android       compileSdkVersion 21     buildToolsVersion  21 1 2

Correcting gradle settings is quite difficult  If you don t know much about Gradle it requires you to learn alot  Instead you can do the following   1  Start a new project in a new folder  Choose the same settings with your  project with gradle problem but keep it simple  Choose an empty main activity   2  Delete all the files in     NewProjectName app src main folder 3  Copy all the files in     ProjectWithGradleProblem app src main folder to     NewProjectName app src main folder  4  If you are using the Test project   ProjectWithGradleProblem app src AndroidTest  you can do the same for that too   this method works fine if your Gradle installation is healthy  If you just installed Android studio and did not modify it  the Gradle installation should be fine
