Android gradle build Error:(9, 0) Gradle DSL method not found: ‘compile()’.

I have tried applying every single gradle plugin they link me to in that link on the bottom, yet same issue, so I conclude that the first error is the cause.

Correct.

Here is the build.gradle file for AlexTest (the project directory):

You will notice that this file contains a code comment:

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

Remove the compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.1.11' line from that file. Leave the compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.1.+' that you have in the other build.gradle file.

The dependencies closure in buildscript is for Gradle plugins only. The top-level dependencies closure, found in the module’s build.gradle file, is for application dependencies.
