Android Studio Gradle DSL method not found: 'android()' — Error(17,0)

I went ahead and downloaded the project from the link you provided: http://javapapers.com/android/android-chat-bubble/

Since this is an old tutorial, you simply need to upgrade the software, gradle, the android build tools and plugin.

Make sure you have the latest Gradle and Android Studio:

• https://www.gradle.org/
• http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/version-compatibility

build.gradle:

buildscript {    repositories {        jcenter()    }    dependencies {        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.2'    }}allprojects {    repositories {        jcenter()    }}

app/build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'android {    compileSdkVersion 23    buildToolsVersion '23.0.3'    defaultConfig {        minSdkVersion 9        targetSdkVersion 23        versionCode 1        versionName '1.0'    }}dependencies {    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.1'}

Then run gradle:

gradle installDebug

I have tried to manage this issue via below steps :

Delete android { ... } block in top level root gradle file

Look into

 compileSdkVersion 22 buildToolsVersion "22.0.0"

lines of code in app/gradle file here only one of the version persent in below dropdown should be present else it would give provide option to downloaad the same.
