Could not find method android() for arguments in Android Studio project : <p>I am trying to do a grade sync on my android studio project and I keep getting this error in the title.  My build.gradle file is </p>

<pre><code>// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.1'

    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
    jcenter()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}

android {
compileSdkVersion 24
buildToolsVersion '24.0.0'
}
dependencies {

}
</code></pre>

<p>My error message is</p>

<pre><code>Gradle sync failed: Could not find method android() for arguments [build_aiwlctiq29euo9devcma4v4r7$_run_closure3@22efc0bc] on root project 'MyRadio
</code></pre>

<p>I have looked online and tried multiple solutions but nothing seems to work.  What does this even mean?  Any help would be appreciated.</p>
