    1. This kind of error generate when your build.gradle (project) content missing or related to dependencies..

      To solve this error

      Just open your existing project and copy your build.gradle (project ) file content and paste it on your current project’s build.gradle file

      e.g.

      // 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:2.3.2’

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

      allprojects {
      repositories {
      jcenter()
      }
      }

      task clean(type: Delete) {
      delete rootProject.buildDir
      }
