android - Plugin is too old, please update to a more recent version, or set ANDROID_DAILY_OVERRIDE environment variable to

Question

today I just imported a sample app from Android SDK as a module in my project (analytics) and suddenly I got this gradle error when I try to sync it: Plugin is too old, please update to a more recent version, or set ANDROID_DAILY_OVERRIDE envrinment variable to...

This is my app gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "22.0.0"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "xxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx"
        versionCode 1
        versionName '1'
        minSdkVersion 9
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 1
        versionName '1'
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }


    dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:21.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:21.0.0'
    compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:3.21.1'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile project(':volley')
}

Do you have any idea of which may be the cause (I'm using the plugin version 1.1.0-rc1 and the gradle version 2.2 and Android Studio version 1.1.0)?

EDIT:

This is my top build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0-rc1'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

Just like CommonsWare suggested, make sure you have Gradle 2.2.1+ (the latest is 2.3).

Make sure you upgrade your Android Studio but here are the "plugins" that need to be updated:

Top build.gradle:

Change:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0-rc1'

To:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.3' // latest 1.5.0

App build.gradle:

Change:

compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:21.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:21.0.0'

To:

compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.0.0' // latest 23.1.1
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:22.0.0' // latest 23.1.1

Always check the Android SDK Manager for the latest revisions:
