Answer 2

The minimum gradle version supported by Android Studio 2.1.1 (which here refers to android plugin 2.1.0) is 2.10.

In your gradle-wrapper.properties file in your project update the gradle version to 2.10, by editing the distributionUrl filed

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip

The lastest version as of now is 2.13 , you can also update to that.

NOTE : This will update gradle used by your project, to change the gradle used by Android Studio , change the gradle version in settings.
