Gradle build finished with error

Question

I am trying to run a previous project I had in Eclipse in Android Studio, but the gradle plugin is giving me a hard time, first it said unsupported version of Gradle, then I modified the build.gradle, and now when I try to run it at the ends says Gradle finished with 1 error, this is the gradle-wrapper.properties:

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-   all.zip

this is the build.gradle:

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

apply plugin: 'android'

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.1.0'
}

android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"

sourceSets {
    main {
        manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
        java.srcDirs = ['src']
        resources.srcDirs = ['src']
        aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
        renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
        res.srcDirs = ['res']
        assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
    }

    instrumentTest.setRoot('tests')

    debug.setRoot('build-types/debug')
    release.setRoot('build-types/release')
}
}

This is the the message log:

Error:Execution failed for task ':dexDebug'.

Thanks for your help

Could you provide the dependencies you're using ? It seems to me that some of your dependencies are also having `support-v4` and the main project also using `support-v4` ? In the meantime, try looking at this smiliar [question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20989317/multiple-dex-files-define-landroid-support-v4-accessibilityservice-accessibility) — Ye Lin Aung, Jul 23 '15 at 06:20

Thanks for replies. I ended up solving the problem by deleting this line:

compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')

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

---> Is this snippet inside your Top build.gradle or the module build.gradle?

Anyways try to separate this part to the Top build.gradle which is the build.gradle that has the -->"(Project: Project Name)" as hint.
