I created an Android App project about 2 years ago in eclipse. It was working well, I have even it deployed on my cell phone.
Now I would like to continue working on it and I was recommended to use Android Studio.
I downloaded it and created a new empty project from Android Studio. Then added my files and tried to build the project.
I am not yet familiar with all the new things such as Graple, I only just red a bit online to learn about it.
When I build, I get the following error, any help would be appreciated.

BUILD FAILED
In my case I downloaded version 22 of Android M and Android 5.1.1 using Android Studio 1.2.1.1 but when I try to do a Hello World this same error showed me
So the solution was go to do right click in app like the image below and choose "Open Module Settings"
then there you have 2 options. I've changed both with the last version I had.
Compile SDK version to API 21 Lollipop
Finally clean the project and Build
UPDATE Here is my build.gradle to compare with your build.gradle.
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion '21.1.2'
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.android.bmi"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 22
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
}
UPDATED
TO Get Android Studio 1.3 follow this steps
Open the Settings window by choosing File > Settings.
Choose the Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Updates panel.
On the Updates panel, choose the option Automatically check updates for: Canary Chanel.
On the Updates panel, select Check Now to check for the latest canary build.
Download and install the build when you are prompted.
Then you'll have something like this to update your Androud Studio to 1.3 and with this you can test Android M
just change your build tools version , this issue mean gradle cant build your project with your specific build tools.
I prefer update build tools to latest stable version , if dosent work downgrade to stable one
