Java error: unable to find method jcenter() in repository container for parameter []

I recently updated Android studio from 1.5 to 2.0, but Iam was unable to compile the existing project. When I built the project from the terminal, the following error occurred

gradle build –stacktrace

Alle @ alle-inspiron-3537: ~ / androidstudioprojects / newsletter $gradle build – stacktrace note: in order to comply with the org.gradle.jvmargs and / or org.gradle.java.home values specified for this build, a new JVM must be derived. In order to avoid the speed reduction associated with this additional process, You may need to consider running gradle with the daemon enabled. Please http://gradle.org/docs/1.4/userguide/gradle_ View the user's guide section on the daemon on daemon.html

Failed: build failed with exception

Where: build file "/ home / all / androidstudioprojects / newsletter / build. Gradle" line: 5

What went wrong: there was a problem evaluating the root project "newsletter"

Try: run with the – info or – debug option to get more log output

     repositories {

    task clean(type: Delete) {

resolvent:

I know this is one month old, but because I have the same problem, I just want to release my solution. The console on Android studio may use an older version of gradle. Use it to check gradle – version

If the gradle version is lower than 2.0, you and I have the same problem

You should upgrade your system gradle using the following methods

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cwchien/gradle
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gradle-ppa
