I had a similiar issue and it was just plain oversight on my part. I had conflicting versions of com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.2 and 1.1.1 inside two different gradle.build files.

app/gradle.build

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.2'
    ...
}

top-level gradle.build

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'
    }

I commented out the line in my project's gradle.build file, ran gradlew clean from the command line, restarted Android Studio and then order was restored in the universe.
