I've been trying to import a project to Android Studio and this is where I am stuck, there is a similar question on Stack Overflow but it did not provide a solution to my particular error.
This is my error log:
C:\<some location>\build.gradle
Error:(24, 1) A problem occurred evaluating root project '<project name>'.
> Could not find method android() for arguments [build_4fli1jm76ubcnxesnhqnhie47$_run_closure3@6e71db85] on root project '<project name>'.
Information:BUILD FAILED
The Gradle sync messages are:
Error:(24, 0) Gradle DSL method not found: 'android()' Possible causes:
The project 'PoojaPeople' may be using a version of Gradle that does not contain the method. Gradle settings The build file may be missing a Gradle plugin. Apply Gradle plugin
I'm not too sure where exactly this method android()
is located. If it is the one located in Application's build.gradle
file, I still don't exactly know where to go from here. Any help is appreciated.
My build.gradle
is
buildscript {
repositories {
maven { url "http://dl.bintray.com/populov/maven" }
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
maven { url "http://dl.bintray.com/populov/maven" }
mavenCentral()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 17
buildToolsVersion '23.0.0'
}
dependencies {
compile files('app/libs/junit-4.12-JavaDoc.jar')
}
apply plugin: 'maven'
You are using the wrong build.gradle
file.
In your top-level file you can't define an android
block.
Just move this part inside the module/build.gradle
file.
android {
compileSdkVersion 17
buildToolsVersion '23.0.0'
}
dependencies {
compile files('app/libs/junit-4.12-JavaDoc.jar')
}
apply plugin: 'maven'
