title: Could not find method android() in root of multimodule project
body: <p>When trying to add parallel build for set of Android projects</p>
  
  <p>For root <code>build.gradle</code> I added <a href="https://github.com/Nodeclipse/nodeclipse-1/blob/master/org.nodeclipse.enide.editors.gradle/docs/android/build.gradle" rel="nofollow noreferrer">from template</a></p>
  
  <pre><code>subprojects {
      android{
          //{ for classic Android Eclipse project
          sourceSets {
              main {
                  manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
                  java.srcDirs = ['src']
                  resources.srcDirs = ['src']
                  aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
                  renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
                  res.srcDirs = ['res']
                  assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
              }
  
              // Move the tests to tests/java, tests/res, etc...
              androidTest.setRoot('tests')
  
              // Move the build types to build-types/&lt;type&gt;
              // For instance, build-types/debug/java, build-types/debug/AndroidManifest.xml, ...
              // This moves them out of them default location under src/&lt;type&gt;/... which would
              // conflict with src/ being used by the main source set.
              // Adding new build types or product flavors should be accompanied
              // by a similar customization.
              debug.setRoot('build-types/debug')
              release.setRoot('build-types/release')
          }
          //}
      }
  }

  <p>Do I have to copy-paste such configuration in every module?<br>
  <strong>Is there way to configure set of android project from one root <code>build.gradle</code>?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Similar to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22390270/could-not-find-property-android-on-root-project">Could not find property &#39;android&#39; on root project</a> there is no code at root level.</p>
