Android studio build script error,unsupported gradle DSL method found : android()! - android-studio

Question

I upgraded the Android Studio to AS 0.6 then imported the project developed in AS 0.3
I am getting errors like:
Build script error,unsupported Gradle DSL method found : android()'!,
Possible causes could be:
- you are using Gradle version where the method is absent
("open_gradle_settings">Fix Gradle settings</a>)
- you didn't apply Gradle plugin which provides the method
(Apply Gradle plugin)
or there is a mistake in a build script (Goto source)
I changed my dependencies path in build.gradle to:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.11.+'
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 14
}
What might the problem?
Is there any guide which tells how to upgrade the project?

Answer 1

Actually it stated in the error message. So just add
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
between dependencies section and android section

Think of “Gradle DSL method” as a Java method. So in Gradle, methods can be distinguished by either {} or “.”. So
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}
is the same as
dependencies.compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
where both “dependencies” and “compile” are methods.
So you are including a method somewhere in your build.gradle file that is not supported by your program. For example, make your dependencies this:
dependencies {
nothing 'this.does.nothing.build:gradle:0.7.+'
}
Which is the same as writing:
dependencies.nothing 'this.does.nothing.build:gradle:0.7.+'
And you will see an error saying “unsupported Gradle DSL method found: ‘nothing()’!”
Obviously "nothing" is not a real method. I just made it up.
So one of your "android" methods is wrong.
