Gradle DSL method not found: runProguard()

Question

I just installed Android Studio 1.0, build AI-135.1629389 so that I could use the same version of AS that is being used in the Lists application. I loaded my previous project "Interactive Story" that worked fine with an earlier version of AS. I am having a problem getting it to run correctly - I am getting the following error:

Error:(16, 0) Gradle DSL method not found: 'runProguard()' Possible causes:<ul><li>The project 'Interactive Story' may be using a version of Gradle that does not contain the method. <a href="open.wrapper.file">Open Gradle wrapper file</a></li><li>The build file may be missing a Gradle plugin. <a href="apply.gradle.plugin">Apply Gradle plugin</a></li>

It tells me to "Open 'Messages' View; Show log in Windows Explorer. Well I did open the log, but it means nothing to me. I also tried to add the method "runProguard()" in the lis that popped up when I clicked on the error message, but I did not see that method in the list to add.

How do I get this new version of AS to work?

Hello,

You just need to change any instance of runProguard in your build.gradle files to minifyEnabled and things should be able to work from there. If you still are having trouble, please let us know and we'll try to assist you further.

I am able to get to the android mode and found the gradle files. How do I search across all of the scripts in the gradle files for the use of "runProguard"?

Thanks for all the help I've been getting. I am getting closer, but ... when I try to "sync project with gradle files", I get the error:

"Error:A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.

The 'java' plugin has been applied, but it is not compatible with the Android plugins."

What now?

I have Java 8 Update 45 installed JRE 1.80_45 and JRE 1.80_25, with the Java SE Dev Kit 7 update 79 installed on my computer.

I just downloaded more of the sdk items into AS. I tried to create a brand new project, set to run under android 14, and I get the following errors.... I'm so confused and frustrated!

Here is my build.gradle (Module:app) file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android { compileSdkVersion 21 buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.estpn.test"
    minSdkVersion 14
    targetSdkVersion 21
    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-v7:23.0.1' }

Here is my build.gradle (Project:Test) file:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript { repositories { jcenter() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'

    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}

}

allprojects { repositories { jcenter() } }
