Error:(8, 0) Gradle DSL method not found: compile()

I'm trying to reduce google play services' impact on APK size. I get the following error when i try to synchronize the gradle proyect. I would be very thankful if somebody can help me with this problem.
Error8, 0) Gradle DSL method not found: 'compile()'
Possible causes:
- The project 'MorphingTunnelFreeLauncher' may be using a version of Gradle that does not contain the method. Gradle settings
- The build file may be missing a Gradle plugin.
The changes in the gradle code looks like this:
- build.gradle in googleplayservices_lib
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
android {
compileSdkVersion 9
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 9
targetSdkVersion 9
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled true //changed
shrinkResources true //changed
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile files('libs/google-play-services.jar')
}
- build.gradle in the app itself:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gmslay-services-ads:6.5.+'//changed
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}

[Q] Android Studio error when importing libs

I am trying to import some libraries, in Android Studio. I had the following error message: Error:The SDK Build Tools revision (17.0.0) is too low for project ':actionbarsherlock'. Minimum required is 19.1.0
So i installed Android SDK Build tools rev 19.1.0. I modified build.gradle file (app) looking like this:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion '19.1.0'
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.xx.xx"
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 19
versionCode 1
versionName "1.2"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.1.0'
compile project(':actionbarsherlock')
compile project(':actionbarsherlock-fest')
compile project(':actionbarsherlock-i18n')
}
Also in Run/Debug Configurations, under App Engine DevAppServer, i set in App Engine SDK field the path for the new SDK, looks like that: C:\Users\cami\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\build-tools\19.1.0
So when i am trying to rebuild, i get exactly the same error message as before. Additionally, i had installed Android SDK Build tools rev 22.0.1, and i get warning saying update targetSdkVersion to 22.
Could please someone help me with this?
PS: Sorry for the very long post, and maybe for the many unnecessary details, but i am new in Android Dev.
Thank you

Try change "buildToolsVersion '19.1.0'" to "buildToolsVersion '22.0.0'" Pay attention that you should have installed build tools 22 in your SDK Manager.
It should help.

Error:duplicate files during packaging of APK

I clean and rebuild my project with success but when i run it, it gives me an error. I tried many solution but i couldn't solve with them.
This is my error :
Code:
Error:duplicate files during packaging of APK /Users/ege/AndroidStudioProjects/projectandroid/projectAndroid/build/outputs/apk/projectAndroid-debug-unaligned.apk
Path in archive: AndroidManifest.xml
Origin 1: /Users/ege/AndroidStudioProjects/projectandroid/projectAndroid/build/intermediates/resources/resources-debug.ap_
Origin 2: /Users/ege/AndroidStudioProjects/projectandroid/projectAndroid/build/intermediates/javaResources/debug/AndroidManifest.xml
You can ignore those files in your build.gradle:
android {
packagingOptions {
exclude 'AndroidManifest.xml'
}
}
Error:Execution failed for task ':projectAndroid:packageDebug'.
Duplicate files copied in APK AndroidManifest.xml
File 1: /Users/ege/AndroidStudioProjects/projectandroid/projectAndroid/build/intermediates/resources/resources-debug.ap_
File 2: /Users/ege/AndroidStudioProjects/projectandroid/projectAndroid/build/intermediates/javaResources/debug/AndroidManifest.xml
This is my build gradle:
Code:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion '23.0.0 rc2'
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.project.android"
minSdkVersion 14

}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false

}
packagingOptions {

}
}

compile files('../libMaster/aws-android-sdk-1.4.4-core.jar')
compile files('../libMaster/universal-image-loader-1.8.5-with-sources.jar')
}
I also tried this solution, but didn't work :
Code:

exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/dependencies.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/LGPL2.1'
}

"Android NDK: Are you sure your NDK_MODULE_PATH variable is properly defined?"
Recently (3 days ago) I started learning Android Studio. I bought an Eclipse game project to play with, but I am getting errors. And when I fix that error, I get a new error. The current error is as following:

I have googled and I saw a few other people had asked this question on this forum, but I didn't understand how to fix it (again, I'm a complete beginner)
Here's my build.gradle (Module: app):
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.getemplate.catadventure"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 26
ndk {
moduleName "player_shared"
}
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
externalNativeBuild {
ndkBuild {
path 'src/main/jni/Android.mk'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.android.gmslay-services:+'
compile files('libs/dagger-1.2.2.jar')
compile files('libs/javax.inject-1.jar')
compile files('libs/nineoldandroids-2.4.0.jar')
compile files('libs/support-v4-19.0.1.jar')
}

And here is my Android.mk file:

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := player_shared
LOCAL_MODULE_FILENAME := libplayer
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := main.cpp
LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES := core_static cocos2dx_static box2d_static
GOOGLE_PLAY_STORE := true
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
$(call import-module, box2D) $(call import-module, core) $(call import-module, cocos2dx) $(call import-module,android-ndk-profiler/jni)
