buildscript {

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.1'

        // dagger2 addition

        classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.+' 

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

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()

        // dagger2 addition
        mavenCentral()
        maven{
            url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/'
        }
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

APP MODULE build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt'   // dagger2 addition

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.demo.dagger2demo"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.0'
    compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

    // dagger2 addition
    compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.+'
    apt "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.+"
