Facebook Integration in android giving compile() error

I am trying to add facebook login. I am following the facebook quick starts. But I am getting the following error.
`
Error:(24, 0) Gradle DSL method not found: 'compile()'
Possible causes:<ul><li>The project 'FacebookAdd' may be using a version of Gradle that does not contain the method.

P.S. I have gone through almost every question related to this on this site.

It looks like you have two dependencies sections please try this:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.1.1'
compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[4,5)'
}
and remove this
dependencies {
compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[4,5)'}

Google App Engine Module Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'. > java.io.IOException: Failed to delete

Trying to compile my android app with google app engine module but the darn thing won't work. It WAS working before but for some reason after I cleared my Android Studio cache and restarted, it stopped compiling. Here is the error I get:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
> java.io.IOException: Failed to delete /Users/Me/AndroidStudioProjects/MyCoolApp/app/build/intermediates/pre-dexed/debug/appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.9.18_0179742441e08a2aeb8477eb85038e2130d180e7.jar
I checked the folder and the above file does not even exist - so why does it try to delete it?
I also tried putting in a dummy file with the above name hoping that might work but it did not.
Here are what my gradle files look like:
app
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.me.mycoolapp"

buildscript {

// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Very dumb but for some reason (I have no clue why) Android studio added this line to my file
compile project(':backend')
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.4.0' //Needed for GCM
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile project(path: ':backend', configuration: 'android-endpoints')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
//compile project(':backend') //DELETE THIS
}
Man, Android Studio + GAE module getting really annoying to make these days...

In your build.gradle script, set the dexOptions.javaMaxHeapSize configuration
android {
...
...
dexOptions {
javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}
}

Please help me to resolve this exception.

Try to add this in your gradle file
repositories{
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}

In the portion of your build.gradle file that you have included you only have the mavenCentral() repository specified within the buildScript block. In order to make that repository accessible outside of that context you should include a block such as the following to the root level of your build.gradle:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
In addition, you have not actually included the line compile 'com.uber.sdk:rides-android:0.1.0' in the file copied in your question.
Ultimately, your build.gradle should include the following:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.uber.sdk:rides-android:0.1.0'
}

this SDK is designed to work with Android SDK 16. so minSdkVersion should be 16 or greater

Failed to resolve: com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.3.1

I am working on the Sample in the below blog
https://www.firebase.com/blog/2015-10-01-firebase-android-app-engine-tutorial.html
The projects fails to compile after adding the dependency
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.3.1'
Other dependencies compile without any issue.
'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
'compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
Where am I going wrong ?
here is my module build.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

The project fails to compile because version 2.3 doesn't exists. You should use 2.3.1:
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.3.1'
or the newest 2.4.0:
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.4.0'
You can find more information here:

We are talking about Google api versions without mentioning Google Repository version.
The actual problem here is that your Google Repository doesn't "know" about the firebase version you all were trying to use.
I got same error while following the official firebase documentation
My app-level build.gradle file looked like this:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
// ...
}
dependencies {
// ...
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:10.2.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.2.1'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
My Google Repository version was 44
You can check yours in
SDK Manager>Android SDK> SDK Tools (tab)
Latest version is 46 (at the time of writing this)
I updated to latest Google Repository version and the problem was solved!
You can update by checking "Google Repository" under SDK Tools tab and click "Apply" to update Google Repository to latest version
If you do not wish to update your Google Repository version, you can still resolve the issue by lowering your firebase api version slighlty.
For my case, changing app-level build.gradle file to the following also fixes my problem:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
// ...
}
dependencies {
// ...
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:10.2.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.2.0'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
firebase version has been lowered to version 10.2.0 from 10.2.1
This works because 10.2.0 is known to Google repository ver 44.
I hope this answer will help many in future.

There are two modules you need to add firebase to:
The android module: You should use the "Add Firebase" checkbox that appears in project structure that will add 2.3.1 to the android app.
The backend module requires 2.4 to run in app engine and those steps require you to add the dependency manually.
In that case, be sure you are adding the jvm client -- not the "android" client for app engine.
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.4.0'

It happens because this version
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.3'
doesn't exist.
You can use one of these:
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.4.0'
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.3.1'
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.3.0'
Pay attention.
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.3.0'
is different from
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.3'
You can find the full list in maven:

using
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:+'
worked for me.

I had the exact same problem today, but with version 2.4.1. I could however not open the link l jcenter.bintray.com/com/firebase/firebase-client-android/2.4.1/ as mentioned by Mattia Maestrini.
Solution for me: Deactivate my VPN, and then it worked.

it looks like it was a dex limit error. Adding the Firebase SDK must have put me over the limit, to fix this i had to add multiDexEnabled true in the defaultConfig section of my app:build.gradle file as well as compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0' in the dependencies
Here is my gradle
gradle for project
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}

compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.5.2+'
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui:0.3.1'
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}

I not sure you still working with that project or not, but I also faced the same problem with you, my solution is
In your build.gradle (outside the app folder one), add
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
////
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
and in your module build.gradle, add
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.+'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.+'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.2.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:9.2.1'
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.4.0'
}
apply plugin:
'com.google.gms.google-services'// <- this code
And the last, don't forget to download google-services.json put in your app folder, the path should look like \yourapplication\app, you also can refer to this link for download google-services.json file. Download a configuration file

compile is deprecated. You should use:
implementation 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.5.2'

Add parse UI-widget but Gradle DSL Method not found: compile()

I'm trying to add the Parse UI widget by following the guide on https://github.com/ParsePlatform/ParseUI-Android. However, when I do that, I get an error that my project may be using a version of Gradle that does not contain the method and that the build file might be missing the Gradle plugin.
This is my Gradle module:

buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
defaultConfig {

}

compile project(':ParseUI-Widget')
// Uncomment if using Facebook Login (optional Maven dependency)

}
}
allprojects {

}
}
Anybody know what I need to add or erase to get it working? I tried answers to similar questions, but so far nothing worked..
I'm not sure if it mattered that I downloaded the ZIP instead of cloning the repository?

You have to move this line inside the dependencies block:
compile project(':ParseUI-Widget')
It should be:
dependencies {
compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.+'
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: 'Parse-*jar')
// Module dependency on ParseUI libraries sources
compile project(':ParseUI-Widget')
}
