Android Studio 1.3 gradle plugin returns error when defining jni and jniLibs in Source sets

Question

Could not find property jni and source set 'main'

apply plugin: 'com.android.model.application'

model {
    android {
        compileSdkVersion = 21
        buildToolsVersion = "22.0.1"

        defaultConfig.with {
            applicationId = "com.example.native_activity"
            minSdkVersion.apiLevel = 9
            targetSdkVersion.apiLevel = 9
        }

        sourceSets.main {
            jni.srcDirs = [] // This prevents the auto generation of Android.mk
            jniLibs.srcDir = 'src/main/libs'
            // This is not necessary unless you have precompiled libraries in your project.
        }
    }

Here is the stacktrace:

I googled like mad for the last 2 hours...

As Awanish said - read the Experimental Plugin User Guide step by step VERY carefully. For even more clearance check the build.gradle files in the ndk-samples provided by google.

sourceSets.main { } has different syntax and should be outside the android { } block. In your case it should look something like this:

model {

    android {
        //...
    }

    android.sources {
        main {
            jniLibs {
                source {
                    srcDirs 'libs'
                }
            }
        }
    }

}
