Plugin not found when importing project as library in Android Studio

I am trying to integrate an application to another one. To do that I compiled the first one as a library and after that I added it to the dependencies of the application project after I added it as a module following some guides in stackoverflow.
The problem is that after doing that, I got an error about a missing plugin. Although I have researched a bit over google I have had no luck on that one.
The error is Error:(4, 0) Plugin with id 'com.google.protobuf' not found.
Open File
Both applications work very well, each on their own... What am I doing wrong ?
Here is my build graddle of the main app
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.arlind.myapplication"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}

testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'

Gradle DSL method not found: 'applicationId()'

I am getting this error on building the application in Android Studio.
Gradle DSL method not found: 'applicationId()'
build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
applicationId "com.ms.knowursensor.android"
minSdkVersion 13
defaultConfig {
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
ndk {

}
}
buildTypes {

proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
ndk {

}
}
debug {
debuggable true
jniDebuggable true
}
}
sourceSets {
main {
jniLibs.srcDir 'src/main/jniLibs'
// use the jni .so compiled from the manual ndk-build command
jni.srcDirs = [] //disable automatic ndk-build
}
}
}
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1'
}
This issue came when i recently update the SDK. How to resolve this issue?

Move applicationId and minSdkVersion into your defaultConfig closure.

Android Studio 1.3 gradle plugin returns error when defining jni and jniLibs in Source sets

Could not find property jni and source set 'main'
apply plugin: 'com.android.model.application'
model {
android {
compileSdkVersion = 21
buildToolsVersion = "22.0.1"
defaultConfig.with {
applicationId = "com.example.native_activity"
minSdkVersion.apiLevel = 9
targetSdkVersion.apiLevel = 9
}
sourceSets.main {
jni.srcDirs = [] // This prevents the auto generation of Android.mk
jniLibs.srcDir = 'src/main/libs'
// This is not necessary unless you have precompiled libraries in your project.
}
}
Here is the stacktrace:

I googled like mad for the last 2 hours...

As Awanish said - read the Experimental Plugin User Guide step by step VERY carefully. For even more clearance check the build.gradle files in the ndk-samples provided by google.
sourceSets.main { } has different syntax and should be outside the android { } block. In your case it should look something like this:
model {
android {
//...
}
android.sources {
main {
jniLibs {
source {
srcDirs 'libs'
}
}
}
}
}

In my case it was an exact opposite to tochkov answer:
This syntax - with the jniLibs outside android block - gave me an error:
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.mycompany.myproject"
minSdkVersion 17
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
sourceSets {
main {
jniLibs.srcDirs = ['src/main/jniLibs']
}
}
and this syntax - inside android block - fixed it:
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.mycompany.myproject"
minSdkVersion 17
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
sourceSets {
main {
jniLibs.srcDirs = ['src/main/jniLibs']
}
}
}

It seems like you are trying to use the grade experimental plugin!
Make sure you have grade-2.5 in your gradle-wrapper.properties:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.5-all.zip
and this in your project's build.gradle dependencies tag
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle-experimental:0.1.0'
Instead of guessing a lot of things, let me redirect you to the user guide, where the documentation explains migration from the standard to experimental plugin in detail. Take a look here!
Try these fixes. Post more details if these don't work for you, I will try to help. :)

apply plugin: 'com.android.model.application'
model {
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.jeremy.test"
minSdkVersion.apiLevel = 15
targetSdkVersion.apiLevel = 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
//proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
proguardFiles.add(file('proguard-android.txt'))
}
}
ndk {
moduleName "hello-android-jni"
}
}
android.sources.main {
java.source.srcDirs = ["src/main/java", "/Users/jeremy/Repositories/hello/src/android/java"]
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
}
The above is copied from my experimental ndk project, this works for me.
See the android.sources.main section.

Android Studio add jar library error

I have follow the instruction to add jar library but when i am going to synchronize the build grade then getting error.
Could not find property 'file' on org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler_Decorated#1a9bd9bb.
I am not getting what is error. please suggest.
build gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.cws.myapplication"
minSdkVersion 11
targetSdkVersion 22
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
applicationVariants.all { variant ->
variant.outputs.each { output ->
output.outputFile = new File(file.parent, file.name.replace(".apk", "-" + defaultConfig.versionName + ".apk"));
}
}
}
sourceSets { main { res.srcDirs = ['src/main/res', 'src/main/res/layout'] } }
}
def var = dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
compile file 'libs/library-2.1.1.jar'
}

In Build.Gradle file the code to add the library is
compile files('libs/acra-4.6.0RC1.jar')
The letter 's' in 'files' is missing from the command.

Android Studio - automatically load support libraries

I'm getting frustrated with having to load the same support libraries over and over again each time I start a new project. Is there to make sure they're always loaded when starting Android Studio?
Thanks.

[Edit] I just found a library from jack wharton doing what you are looking for. Check SDK Manager Plugin : https://github.com/JakeWharton/sdk-manager-plugin
It exists for some libraries. You have to check on building your projects with Graddle in Android-Studio :
Tips for Graddle
App generator with included libraries
Graddle Test project that loads it automatically (for example only)
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {

}
}
// Manifest version information!
def versionMajor = 1
def versionMinor = 0
def versionPatch = 0
def versionBuild = 0
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
repositories {

}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:20.+'

compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}

You can set Android Studio to work offline if have loaded the supported libraries once;
Open Setting menu and search Gradle as keywords check on the Offline work :
Do remember to uncheck the checkbox if you have changed the your dependency in build.gradle
