Could not find method ndk() for arguments

Question

I'm following Create Hello-JNI With Android Studio.

MAC OX 10.11.5

Android Studio 2.2 stable

java version: 1.7.0_79

gradle-2.14.1

Here's my app.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.chenql.helloandroidjni"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    ndk {
        moduleName "hello-android-jni"
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.3.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.3.0'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

Here's the error: The Error Message

Answer 1

It turns out that this code

ndk {     moduleName "hello-android-jni"     } 

should be placed under "defaultConfig" block:

defaultConfig {     applicationId "com.chenql.helloandroidjni"     minSdkVersion 22     targetSdkVersion 23     versionCode 1     versionName "1.0"     testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"      ndk {         moduleName "hello-android-jni"     } } 

instaed of after "buildTypes" block.
