buildTypes cannot be applied to groovy.lang.Closure

Question

I\'m getting this warning in my project gradle file:

Warning:(16, 5) \'buildTypes\' cannot be applied to \'(groovy.lang.Closure< com.android.build.

Answer 1

I used to have this warning, after I updated Android Studio.

When I went to Settings>>Build Tools>>Gradle I found Local Gradle path was invalid, since gradle version was updated as well from 2.6 to 2.8.

Fixed the new path and re-sync gradle removed the warning.

Another way is to use gradlewrapper.
