Could not find property 'android' on root project

Question

i want to switch my project from eclipse to android studio with gradle support and get this failure message

Gradle 'Test' project refresh failed: Could not find property 'android' on root project 'Test'.

Could you help me? I have a project with a few sublibraries

This is my top level build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.9.+'
    }
}

apply plugin: android


allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

compile project('Test')

Did you add the 'java' plugin before your 'appengine' plugin? — zgc7009, Mar 13 '14 at 20:50
did you really put `apply plugin: android` ? it's supposed to be `apply plugin: 'android'` — Xavier Ducrohet, Mar 14 '14 at 19:08

Don't put this in your top-level build file:

apply plugin: android

or this:

compile project('Test')

The apply plugin statement isn't necessary because there's no Android module in the root-level directory of projects with multi-module structure (which is the case for your project). And if you have dependencies, they need to go in a dependencies block in your module's build file.
