Android Studio Error: (8, 0) Plugin with id 'android' not found

Question

I have installed Android Studio (0.6.1) on OS X (10.9.3) and Gradle 1.1 using Brew (brew install gradle). However, I can't get my first Hello World! project... Please help me solve this issue

build.gradle:

    buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.11.+'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'android'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion '19.1'
    defaultConfig {}
    productFlavors {}
}

dependencies {
}

Error message:

Error:(8, 0) Plugin with id 'android' not found.

Getting Build failed with an Exception Android Studio 0.4.3 and 0.4.4 post and Android Studio: Plugin with id 'android-library' not found post does not solves the problem...

Second post I linked returns this error message:

Error:The project is using an unsupported version of Gradle. Please use version 1.10. Please point to a supported Gradle version in the project's Gradle settings or in the project's Gradle wrapper (if applicable.) Fix Gradle wrapper and re-import project Gradle settings

It seems you have missed to add android gradle plugin dependency in dependencies block.

Replace the top buildScript section by this and sync your project with gradle

 buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.11.+'
    }
 }

 apply plugin: 'android'

 android {
      compileSdkVersion 19
      buildToolsVersion '19.1.0'
      defaultConfig {
          applicationId 'YOUR_APP_PACKAGE'
          minSdkVersion 9
          targetSdkVersion 17
      }
      buildTypes {
          release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
          }
      }
      productFlavors {   }
  }

  dependencies {

   }

Now I get this error `Error:The SDK Build Tools revision (19.0.3) is too low for project ':app'. Minimum required is 19.1.0` strange I followed [this guide](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24093561/how-to-force-android-studio-0-6-0-to-use-sdk-build-tools-19-1-0) (second answer GUI one) On my GUI interface I don't have modules for some reason.

Please check the updated answer and match with your build.gradle file. – Piyush Agarwal Jun 19 '14 at 09:30
sometimes the buildscript declaration can be in a separate file which may be deleted hence the problem. – mugume david Sep 16 '15 at 15:34

build.gradle file inside my "app" folder: PATH: /home/work/ProjectName/app/build.gradle

android {
     compileSdkVersion 19
     buildToolsVersion '19.1.0'

defaultConfig {
    minSdkVersion 11
    targetSdkVersion 19
    versionCode 1
    versionName '1.0'
}


 dependencies {
  compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.0'
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+'

 }
}

build.gradle file outside my "app" folder: PATH: /home/work/ProjectName/build.gradle

buildscript {
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.11.+'
}
}

allprojects {
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
}

Note after all these update synchronise your project with gradle file

A 100 up for this answer. Thank you Sherin! – Prachi Jun 23 '14 at 12:42 — Prachi, Jun 23 '14 at 12:42

Put below code in build.gradle file of main Application and sync it.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}
