Plugin is too old, please update to a more recent version

Question

Plugin is too old, please update to a more recent version, or set ANDROID_DAILY_OVERRIDE environment variable to "aed79d567e57792ed352e708d2b7ca891ff897c6" Can somebody help me? How could I update this one

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '23.0.2'

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "xxxxxx.xxxx.xxx"
    minSdkVersion 16
    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}}   dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile files('libs/Parse-1.10.2.jar')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.+'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0'}'

and i'm using plugin 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha3'

Do you have any idea which may be the cause?

OK. So *please update to a more recent version, or set ANDROID_DAILY_OVERRIDE* to the value it tells you. What part of those very clear instructions do you not understand? It tells you **exactly** what to do. — Ken White, Jan 21 '16 at 03:33
@kenwhite I don't understand anything. i'm already confused.. I have a dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha3' } — qqrrrr, Jan 21 '16 at 04:06
As I said, the message tells you **exactly** what you need to do. Either upgrade the plugin or set the environmental variable to the value it provides for you. Short of someone driving to your house to work your keyboard fro you, what else do you want us to do? — Ken White, Jan 21 '16 at 04:10
I have the same issue. Does that ask to change the plug in 'com.android.application' to something else? And where do I need to set ANDROID_DAILY_OVERRIDE? — Jayakrishnan Salim, Jan 21 '16 at 05:17

Update your plugin to:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha6'

You may get an error saying Gradle Version 2.10 is required.

Follow this SO answer, which says:

I gest you need change Settings > Builds,Execution,Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle >Gradle home path

Or you need set Use default gradle wrapper and edit Project\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties files field distributionUrl like this
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip

I too had this problem.Solved it by going to project gradle file changed the class path from

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha3'
}

to

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'
}

1.5.0 looks stable to me .
