android studio plugin with id: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

Question

I am using gradle and I am trying to add kotlin to my project. But when I am trying to add 'kotlin-android-extensions' plugin for gradle it fails to find it.

Answer 1

To use the plugin, you have to add it in your root level file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com'
        }
    }
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.1.2-4'
    dependencies {
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
}
