No such property: compile for class: java.lang.String in android studio

Muhammad Junaid Khalid

My project was working fine till last month but now its not running, for some unknown reasons it gives a message No such property: compile for class: java.lang.String in app level build.gradle. My project remain untouched for a almost a month. Below is my build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    buildToolsVersion "27.0.3"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.PSS.pssreminder"
        minSdkVersion 17
        targetSdkVersion 27
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.+'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.+'
    compile 'com.getbase:floatingactionbutton:+'
    compile 'com.wdullaer:materialdatetimepicker:+'.
    compile 'com.bignerdranch.android:recyclerview-multiselect:+'
    compile 'com.amulyakhare:com.amulyakhare.textdrawable:+'

}

Can you please help me out to solve this issue.

Replace all compile keywords with implementation. compile has been removed and replaced by implementation in gradle distributions. It should look like this:

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.+'
    implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.+'
    implementation 'com.getbase:floatingactionbutton:+'
    implementation 'com.wdullaer:materialdatetimepicker:+'.
    implementation 'com.bignerdranch.android:recyclerview-multiselect:+'
    implementation 'com.amulyakhare:com.amulyakhare.textdrawable:+'
}
