Gradle Dsl Method Not Found: Android()

Any suggestions to fix this problem: I am getting this error in android studio after importing Project Error:(16, 0) Gradle DSL method not found: 'android()' Possible causes:The pr

Solution 1:

If you have an android block in your build script, you need one of the following two statements, depending on whether your module is an application module or a library module:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

or:

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

Having said that, there are other problems with your build script. For one, this is a top-level build script (as you can see by the comment that says "Top-level build file where you can add configuration options..."), so it's likely that there isn't actually a top-level module for the android block to apply to, so adding the apply plugin statement may just lead to a different error. If that happens, remove the android block.

Another issue is that you already have a apply plugin: 'java' statement in this build script. You can't use both the Java and the Android plugins in the same build script; they collide with each other.

Solution 2:

Just delete this method from your root build.gradle

android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion '21.0.0'
dexOptions {
    incremental true
}
compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6
} }

It should work after you compile again.

Solution 3:

if get error then check your gradle file version and remove other gradle dependancy like classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0' it may solve the problem
