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 project 'LoginActivity' 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
    • // 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:1.1.0'
    }
}
allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion '21.0.0'
    dexOptions {
        incremental true
    }
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6
    }
}
dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.3'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
}
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'java'

    There is a bar notification which says: Gradle project sync failed. Basic fuctionality (eg: editing, debugging) will not work properly.

    Please help me to get rid of this problem. Thanks!

    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.

    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.

    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
