Could not find method apply() for arguments

Question

I have followed many solutions just to get this to run and have wound up here, but do not know what else to do.

How can I configure this project to run?

build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt'

android {

    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"

    //兼容Android6.0系统所需，如果这句话报错，可在dependencies标签下使用compile 'cn.bmob.android:http-legacy:1.0'
    useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.htq.baidu.com.htq.baidu.coolnote"

        minSdkVersion 17
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }

    buildTypes {

        release {
            //minifyEnabled false
            // signingConfig signingConfigs.release
            // minifyEnabled true

            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'

        }

    }

    sourceSets {

        main() {

            jniLibs.srcDirs = ['libs']
        }
    }
    lintOptions {

        ignoreWarnings true
        //lint 遇到 error 时继续 构建

        abortOnError false
        //build release 版本 时 开启lint 检测

        checkReleaseBuilds false
        // 防止在发布的时候出现因MissingTranslation导致Build Failed!

        disable 'MissingTranslation'

    }
}

dependencies {

   compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'

    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0'

    compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.2.1'

    apt 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.2.1'

    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-appindexing:8.1.0'

    compile 'cn.bmob.android:http-legacy:1.0'

    compile 'cn.bmob.android:bmob-sdk:3.4.7-aar'

    compile 'org.greenrobot:eventbus:3.0.0'

    compile 'com.nostra13.universalimageloader:universal-image-loader:1.9.2'

    compile 'com.github.clans:fab:1.6.1'

}
apply plugin: 'groovy'
apply plugin: 'groovy'

Answer 1

I have solved this problem! Here is my may:

1.copy the contetn of "build.gradle",then delete the "build.gradle";

2.create a new build.gradle and paste the previous content to this "build.gradle"

That's all !

Answer 2

It happens when u save the file as a unicode format. So copy the contents in other file and delete the older one.
