I am getting this error on the latest version of Android Studio and while I have installed both Android SDK Platform API 25 and Android SDK Build-Tools 25.
I had a similar problem. Updating Android Studio to version 2.2.2 (latest at the time of this writing) and Gradle version to 2.2.2 (latest at the time of this writing) in project_name/build.gradle
file fixed this issue.
For reference, this is my config in project_name/app/build.gradle
file:
minSdkVersion = 19
targetSdkVersion = 25
compileSdkVersion = 25
buildToolsVersion = "25"
supportLibraryVersion = "25.0.0"
And this is my dependencies
in project_name/build.gradle
file :
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
