Answer 1

I was facing the same issue, here is what I did:

1- Updated all the project dependencies to latest version (AppCompat,SupportV4,cardview, etc) which are 22+

2- Updated root projects build.gradle file to use latest gradle version :

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.3'

3- In gradle-wrapper.properties file I used the latest gradle version which is 2.4

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.4-all.zip

Answer 2

I had in build.gradle : classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'

I changed to : classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.3'

it works for me
