// In your root build.gradle file:
buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral() // add repository
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.1'
        classpath 'org.greenrobot:greendao-gradle-plugin:3.2.2' // add plugin
    }
}
 
// In your app projects build.gradle file:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'org.greenrobot.greendao' // apply plugin
 
dependencies {
    compile 'org.greenrobot:greendao:3.2.2' // add library
