Android Studio Gradle build script not working

Question

This is the build script used by an Android client built on top of the MifosX platform for the mifos user community.

However whenever I build this script I get this error:

Error:(135, 1) A problem occurred evaluating project ':mifosng-android'.
> Could not find method compile() for arguments [com.github.Raizlabs.DBFlow:dbflow-core:3.1.1] on DefaultExternalModuleDependency{group='com.github.Raizlabs.DBFlow', name='dbflow-processor', version='3.1.1', configuration='default'} of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dependencies.DefaultExternalModuleDependency.

I am using Android Studio 2.1.1.

Please help me.

Answer 1

Add this line above dependancies

def raizLabsDBFlow= "4.0.1"

Answer 2

In new android project build script and move into setting grdle.

setting.gradle

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Have a good day!
