My Gradle File is like this:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.mubashirgul.androidtest"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }

            debug {

            }

    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
}

Can you add the gradle file please. Just make sure you remove any passwords :) — Flaxie, Apr 02 '15 at 08:04
Could be because the build tools version is: `buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"` but the appcompat library you're using is `com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0`. Consider using the same version. — frek13, Apr 02 '15 at 08:10

This is how i'm doing it:

build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
.
.
.

signingConfigs {
    release
}

buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled true
        proguardFiles 'proguard.pro'
        debuggable false
        signingConfig signingConfigs.release
    }
.
.
.
}

dependencies {
    ...
}

def props = new Properties()

props.load(new FileInputStream(rootProject.file("keystore.properties")))
android.signingConfigs.release.storeFile rootProject.file(props.keyStore)
android.signingConfigs.release.storePassword props.keyStorePassword
android.signingConfigs.release.keyAlias props.keyAlias
android.signingConfigs.release.keyPassword props.keyAliasPassword

keystore.properties:

keyStore=manamana.keystore_filname
keyStorePassword=manamana_password
keyAlias=manamana_alias
keyAliasPassword=manamana_alias_password

Then i have the keystore in root of project and the "keystore.properties" is added to .gitignore and never checked in
