Failed to apply plugin Android Studio

Question

I am trying to import ExoPlayer library into my Android Studio project. I have tryed few times with several methods ( importing direct with GRADLE ), import as module, copy paste it, I get the same error:

Error:(15) A problem occurred evaluating project ':..:ExoPlayer:library'.
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'bintray-release']
   > Plugin with id 'bintray-release' not found.

In library gradle I found the apply plugin line:

apply plugin: 'bintray-release'

After Searching the library and apply it to dependencies I still got the error:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.novoda:bintray-release:0.2.10'
}

Any Ideea how can I solve this problem ?

It looks like gradle could not find this plugin in all specified repositories. ExoPlayer specifies buildscript repositories in the root project, so that's what you should do too.

In your root build.gradle make sure buildscript section contains jcenter() repository and 'andcom.novoda:bintray-release:0.2.7' classpath:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        ...... <- whatever you have now
        jcenter() <- make sure this one is there
    }
    dependencies {
        ...... <- whaterver you have now
        classpath 'com.novoda:bintray-release:0.2.7' <- make sure this one is there
    }
}

Yeah, that was the problem, but is stupid, if I have in library gradle why should I have it in the main project gradle, however, good to know, thank you ! – Marian Pavel Apr 21 '15 at 15:54
you'r right - this should be in library's gradle config file. Feel free to submit a merge request to ExoPlayer project – Pavel Dudka Apr 21 '15 at 15:55
in my case it still gives an error. after putting this line, what should I do? – Pravinsingh Waghela Nov 09 '15 at 10:15
