Compilation Error

I am using the latest version of Android Studio, and assume you are using at least Android Studio 1.0. If that is the case here is what I found to fix the issue.

If you are having an issue with the VCS system go to File>Settings>Version Control and remove the project from the VCS system. This may or may not apply to you. On to your issue.

So the first thing you have to do is fix the plug-in version number. In the file Gardle>build.gradle (there is 2 build.gradle files. One is under the app directory and the other is in the gradle directory. this one is in the gradle directory) is :

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.+'

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

if you replace the classpath line with:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.1'

That will solve the first issue. Then after you resolve that and sync gradle, you will be given an error referencing runProguard() This is because runProguard has been replaced with minifyEnabled. so to fix this you must open the file app>build.gradle (make sure you are using the file nested inside of the app directory for this) and the file will look like this:

apply plugin: 'android'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion '20.0.0'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId 'com.teamtreehouse.mememaker'
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 19
        versionCode 1
        versionName '1.0'
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    productFlavors {
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile files('libs/commons-io-2.4.jar')
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:19.0.+'
}

here you just need to replace the line

runProguard false

with

minifyEnabled false

re-sync gradle and everything should start working properly. Now you can get on with the course. Have fun!
