Error?

I have been working on adding Parse and have been have a lot of difficulties! I tried to Test to see if i set up properly and keep getting this? Error:A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.

Project app: Only Jar-type local dependencies are supported. Cannot handle: C:\Users\AndroidStudioProjects\Ribbit\app\src\main\libs\bolts-android-1.1.4.jar.properties

testObject.saveInBackground();

What am I doing wrong?

Go to Parse's website and look up how to use gradle to import the library. look here : >https://parse.com/apps/quickstart#parse_data/mobile/android/native/existing. Make sure to resync your gradle files after adding the dependencies. After looking closer at the error you don't need the ".jar.properties" file just the ".jar" file. If you don't see the .jar file extension it may be because you are not showing common file extensions in explorer. Go under tools menu>folder options>view and look for hide extensions for known filetypes, uncheck it.

I was using gradle?

sorry changed my answer look again.

Error:(22, 0) Gradle DSL method not found: 'compile()' Possible causes:<ul><li>The project 'Ribbit' may be using a version of Gradle that does not contain the method. <a href="open.wrapper.file">Open Gradle wrapper file</a></li><li>The build file may be missing a Gradle plugin. <a href="apply.gradle.plugin">Apply Gradle plugin</a></li>

this is the error i am getting now

Try restarting Android Studio and do a gradle resync as well as a Rebuild your project. Oh and quit adding new answers just comment on my answer , makes it easier for other people to follow what is going on if they have same problem.

After working on this ALL day i was impatient! I ended up solving it by watching a youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhyqvhOXm48.
