Your still need to configure your app info (minSdkVersion something like this) in your main module build.gradle: something like those:

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "your package name"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}

and signingConfigs too. For more information: check http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide this post. This guide helps me a lot when I am learning gradle.

A lot more:

• adding all your projects in settings.gradle
• manage in your library dependency in libarary build.gradle
• You will still need a little effort to make your project compile in most cases
