Failed to create Android tool version

Question

I tried to open an old project in a recently installed Android studio (today), it gave me this error:

failed to find build tools revision 23.0.0 rc2
install build tools 23.0.0 rc2 and sync project

I searched it online and I tried adding it to the gradle file:

android {
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "22.0.0"
}

And that gave me another error:

gradle DSL method not found: 'android()'
possible causes:
the project may be using a version of gradle that does not contain the method.
gradle settings.
the build file may be missing a gradle plugin.
apply gradle plugin.

this is my gradle file:

// 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:1.2.3'
  }
}

allprojects {
repositories {
    jcenter()
  }
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "22.0.0"
}

Answer 6

Depending on which version of the Android SDK Build-tools you installed, you can check it through the SDK Manager, in my case I do not have 23.0.0 rc2, but 23.0.1, so you need to edit your app/build.gradle

for me it was then:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
}
