Errors with gradle on Android Studio 0.4.6 - android-studio

Question

Hello StackOverflow,
I have recently updated my Android Studio to the latest version (0.4.6), and I am encountering weird problems with it. When first creating my project, I got this error:
So I obviously went to my SDK Manager and updated my Build Tools to version 19.0.2. However, I still got this error message. I took a look into my build.gradle file and saw that I am missing the android paragraph, So I changed it from this:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.8.+'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
}
To this:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.8.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion '19.0.2'
//Other Configuration
}
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
}
But now I am getting this error message when trying to build (and the older Build Tools error):
I'm not sure what to do now.. How can I solve this?

As suggested by Scott keep your Root level build.gradle file like this
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.8.+'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
}
Content of this file will be included in each module level build.gradle file at the type of Gradle sync or compilation.
Check all build.gradle files inside your modules. They all should look similar to this
apply plugin: 'android'
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion '19.0.2'
//Other Configuration
}
dependencies{
// Your all module dependencies here
}

Undo the changes you made to the top-level build file, and make those changes to the build files in your individual modules. In particular, putting an apply plugin: 'android' statement or android block in your top-level build file in that manner won't work. The error message you're seeing is happening because the build system is trying to build an Android app out of the root directory of your project, but none of the source files for such a project are there.
