Android Studio中的Gradle同步错误

Question

I am new in android studio after installation I have a warning of

Error:(13, 0) Could not find method compile() for arguments [directory 'libs'] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

Anyone please Help me to solved out.

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) // <-- giving warning on that line
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.+'
}

You probably don't have the libs directory. I recommend removing that line. This is used to drop JARs or AAR files directly into your project. This is poor practice other then when using some of the Google Maps services.

You should reference dependencies via url and maven or ivy, not local file tree if you can avoid it.

Secondly, if you really want, you can go make a directory libs. Lastly, I would ask how you get this error? Gradle Sync, Android Studio Build, or terminal assembleRelease.

But the above should square you away.
