title: Could not find method android() for arguments
body: <p>I've been trying to import a project to Android Studio and this is where I am stuck, there is a similar question on <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26243480/could-not-find-method-android-for-arguments-when-building-android-project-from">Stack Overflow</a> but it did not provide a solution to my particular error. </p>
  
  <p>This is my error log:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\&lt;some location&gt;\build.gradle
  
  Error:(24, 1) A problem occurred evaluating root project '&lt;project name&gt;'.
  &gt; Could not find method android() for arguments [build_4fli1jm76ubcnxesnhqnhie47$_run_closure3@6e71db85] on root project '&lt;project name&gt;'.
  Information:BUILD FAILED
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The Gradle sync messages are:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error:(24, 0) Gradle DSL method not found: 'android()' Possible
    causes:<li>The project 'PoojaPeople' may be using a version of
    Gradle that does not contain the method. Gradle settings</li><li>The build file
    may be missing a Gradle plugin. Apply
    Gradle plugin</li></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I'm not too sure where exactly this method <code>android()</code> is located. If it is the one located in Application's <code>build.gradle</code> file, I still don't exactly know where to go from here. Any help is appreciated. </p>
  
  <p>My <code>build.gradle</code> is</p>
  
  <pre><code>buildscript {
      repositories {
          maven { url "http://dl.bintray.com/populov/maven" }
          mavenCentral()
      }
       dependencies {
          classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
          // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
          // in the individual module build.gradle files
      }
  }
  allprojects {
      repositories {
          maven { url "http://dl.bintray.com/populov/maven" }
          mavenCentral()
  
      }
  }
  task clean(type: Delete) {
      delete rootProject.buildDir
  }
  
  android {
      compileSdkVersion 17
      buildToolsVersion '23.0.0'
  }
  dependencies {
      compile files('app/libs/junit-4.12-JavaDoc.jar')
  }
  apply plugin: 'maven'
