Unresolved Reference to android in build.gradle.kts – Beginner Issue

Android Developer Forum Android Questions/Help
1

Hello,
I’m a beginner in Android development and I’m facing an issue with my project setup. In my build.gradle.kts file, I have the following configuration:

plugins {
    alias(libs.plugins.android.application) apply false
    alias(libs.plugins.kotlin.android) apply false
}

android {
    buildFeatures {
        viewBinding true
        dataBinding true
    }
}

However, I’m getting the error: Unresolved reference: android.
Can anyone help me understand what might be causing this issue? I’ve checked that I have the necessary Android Gradle plugins, but I’m not sure what I’m missing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

can you post what are your plugins inside libs.versions.toml?
