Android Studio SDK version error after update

Question

I just finished installing Android Studio and the JDK. Everything worked fine while I looked around the new interface. No errors or anything. After I checked for updates I went from version 0.5.2 to 0.6. When I restarted I got the error

Error:The SDK Build Tools revision (19.0.3) is too low for project ':app'. Minimum required is 19.1.0

Which SDK is it referring to and shouldn't it update along with Android Studio? Before I updated I did not have this message.

All files are default. What is the name of the file that I am looking for? gradlew.bat, gradlew, build.gradle? — user1971, Jun 12 '14 at 05:31

So Android Studio version 0.6 requires the Android SDK build tools to be 19.1 instead of the old 19.0.3.

To install this, follow these steps:

Close all open projects.
On the main Android Studio window, press Configure
Then click SDK Manager

Once inside find the following build tools version:

Build tools needed

Then tick the box and install the package.

Once your done with that, close the SDK Manager, restart Android Studio, and you should be good to go!

EDIT:

One more thing you need to do:

Open your project.
Navigate to your build.gradle file located inside your module. For you, I think it's in the app folder.
Open the file.

Now you should see something like this: gradle file

Where it says buildToolsVersion in the quotes, replace 19.0.3 with 19.1.0. Now sync gradle files and everything should be solved.

I installed it but I still get the same error. Should I be deleting the old 19.0.1? – user1971 Jun 12 '14 at 05:53
See my edited answer. I forgot to include the gradle instructions. – Andrew Quebe Jun 12 '14 at 05:57
Created a new project and those settings (compileSdkVersion and buildToolsVersion) don't exist in the build.gradle file. – Johann Jun 19 '14 at 14:40

Are you in the root folder of your module? You should have an "app" module which is where the gradle file you want is. – Andrew Quebe Jun 19 '14 at 18:15
