Android: cannot resolve symbol getDefaultProguardFile

Question

I have a problem with gradle. It can't find getDefaultProguardFile() method.

Here is how it looks like:

None of these is working:

• clean project
• rebuild
• invalidate caches and restart

Does someone know what is the problem? I am working on the last version(1.5) of Android Studio.

reference google issue Just update your buildTypes instead your .

buildTypes {
        release {
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

Then Clean - Rebuild And File -> Invalidate Cache / Restart . I hope it will helps you .
