eclipse - Errors while porting project to Android Studio? -

i'm new android studio, i've been using eclipse 2 years. i've trying understanding these solutions.

android gradle build error:(9, 0) gradle dsl method not found: 'compile()'.

gradle dsl method not found: 'compile()'

i can't work.

here's says..

error:(17, 0) gradle dsl method not found: 'compile()' possible causes:

the project 'clxxxii - pmv5' may using version of gradle not contain method. open gradle wrapper file

the build file may missing gradle plugin. apply gradle plugin

and

'dependencies' cannot applied '(groovy.lang.closure)' less... (⌘f1) inspection reports assignments incompatible types

here's file it's giving error

// top-level build file can add configuration options common sub-projects/modules. buildscript {     repositories {         mavencentral()     }     dependencies {         classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'    } }  allprojects {     repositories {         mavencentral()     } } dependencies {     apply plugin: 'announce'     compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.0'     compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:21.0.+' } 

and based on other questions, may need too.

apply plugin: 'android'  android {     compilesdkversion 17     buildtoolsversion "19.0.3"      defaultconfig {         minsdkversion 8         targetsdkversion 19     }      buildtypes {         release {             runproguard false             proguardfiles getdefaultproguardfile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'         }     } }  dependencies {     compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:+'     compile files('libs/flurryanalytics_3.3.0.jar')     compile files('libs/heyzap-ads-sdk.jar')     compile files('libs/homebasesdk2.2.jar')     compile files('libs/placed-persistent-sdk-1.10.jar')     compile files('libs/revmob-6.7.0.jar') } 

can me understand problem is, , why it's happening?

this might not answer question maybe can project running. these dependencies dont belong in first build.gradle file :

dependencies { apply plugin: 'announce' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.0' compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:21.0.+' } 

your dependencies in project build.gradle should this, comment generated ide , tells not put app dependencies here :

 dependencies {     classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'      // note: not place application dependencies here; belong     // in individual module build.gradle files } 

move them /app/build.gradle file, , modified file little date newest version of buildtools etc. might have download of them sdk manager if dont have :

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'  android {     compilesdkversion 22     buildtoolsversion "22.0.1"  defaultconfig {     applicationid "your.package.name"     minsdkversion 8     targetsdkversion 22 }  buildtypes {     release {         minifyenabled false         proguardfiles getdefaultproguardfile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'       }    } }  dependencies {     compile filetree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])     compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'     compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:+'     compile files('libs/flurryanalytics_3.3.0.jar')     compile files('libs/heyzap-ads-sdk.jar')     compile files('libs/homebasesdk2.2.jar')     compile files('libs/placed-persistent-sdk-1.10.jar')     compile files('libs/revmob-6.7.0.jar')  }
