<p>NB: Flip is the name of the application... </p>

<pre><code>Error: Gradle: A problem occurred configuring root project 'Flip'. 
     - Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'. 
     - Could not resolve com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0.
        Required by:
                   :Flip:unspecified
</code></pre>
