How can I update my plugin in android studio?

Question

I am building a golf score card app with android studio and last night before I shut down my laptop it was building fine, however, this morning when I run Android studio I got the error "Plugin is too old, please update to a more recent version, or set ANDROID_DAILY_OVERRIDE environment variable to "aed79d567e57792ed352e708d2b7ca891ff897c6"" and my app structure has also altered and there is no longer a manifest folder.....image of app structure``

Below is my gradle file:

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.biko.golfstroke"
        minSdkVersion 8
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
}

Please help if you can this is so frustrating!

I don't want to distract you, but as I noticed you are using API 23 to compile and target, I want to make sure you are using the newest technique in granting permissions: http://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html — Ashraf Alshahawy, Jan 21 '16 at 07:29
Thanks Astrount, I'm just reading the documentation on the newest technique in requesting and granting permissions from the link you shared... — Biko, Jan 21 '16 at 08:13

PLZ update your gradle plugin version in the rooter gradle file as following:

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

check the newest version of android gradle plugin in here

I think the android studio should fix this version problem by himself, it`s a bad experience for changing it manually.

Just in few days , android released the lastest alpha7 version, so here is another solution: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:+', this can let the gradle always update the newest version... – M.D.Luffy Jan 25 '16 at 08:39
