Android: Cannot resolve symbol 'compile'

Question

I was adding a new activity "Settings" with help from android studios Add New wizard. Right after that I get this

Error:(47) A problem occurred evaluating project ':AppName'. Could not find property 'compile' on org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler_Decorated@395e73e7.

And it says cannot resolve symbol 'compile'.

Any ideas?

Check 'build.gradle' file. It probably has formatting errors where 'compile' is used.

In my case, the problem was introduced by Android Studio 1.3.2 Wizard. – Loda Sep 28 '15 at 11:41

In my case I had a comma after the previous dependency – Blago Dec 24 '15 at 10:21
