Could not find method ImplementationSdkVersion() for arguments [26] on object of type com.android.build.gradle.internal.dsl.BaseAppModuleExtension

I would like someone to help me with this Android Studio error. I have bought an Android Application in internet, and I have also the android studio project files.
The thing is that this application has been made with an older version of Android studio I think, probably like 1 year and a half ago.
I get this error Could not find method ImplementationSdkVersion() for arguments [26] on object of type com.android.build.gradle.internal.dsl.BaseAppModuleExtension. after replacing all compile with implementation because those showed warnings and when I tried to get an APK from my android studio project that APK crashed on my Samsung.
This is the gradle module app code:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
ImplementationSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion '28.0.3'
defaultConfig {
applicationId "codecanyon.carondeal"
minSdkVersion 21
targetSdkVersion 26
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}

}
}

}

}

}

androidTestImplementation('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})

exclude module: "httpclient"
}

implementation 'com.daimajia.swipelayout:library:1.2.0#aar'
testimplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Oh I finally found the solution. I just changed the
ImplementationSdkVersion 26
to
compileSdkVersion 26
and it worked. :) ^_^

it is because you replaced all compile with implementation

Android studio failed to instantiate one or more classes after update to SDK 26

After downloading SDK 26 and updated my project I had some library conflicts which I successfully fixed. But I have this persistent issue that it is tackled nowhere in the forums or SO.
My XML preview is broken. I can build and run the program but I can't see anything because of that:
I tried:
Changing the theme from Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar to
Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar
Updating my gradle in a similar way
Invalidate Cache / Restart
Checked and updated all my libraries and removed all errors regarding gradle
Changed the api on the preview
All SDKs are updated.
Everything was fine right before I update to SDK 26. All the solutions available do nothing. Help would be very much appreciated

Updating the following:

I had the same problem .Just updated 26.0.0 to 26.0.0-alpha1 and the problem is solved.

Error Build APK {duplicate entry: com/google/android/gms/gcm/INetworkTaskCallback$Stub.class}

The documentation for Firebase JobDispatcher says to include only one of these:
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-jobdispatcher:0.5.2'
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-jobdispatcher-with-gcm-dep:0.5.2'
You are including both. Because your app does not have a dependency on com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm, you should only include this library:
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-jobdispatcher:0.5.2'
Remove this line from your dependencies:
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-jobdispatcher-with-gcm-dep:0.5.2'

Retrofit2 DuplicateFileException

Hi im new to retrofit and I got this error:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformResourcesWithMergeJavaResForDebug'.
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.builder.packaging.DuplicateFileException: Duplicate files copied in APK META-INF/maven/com.squareup.retrofit2/retrofit/pom.properties

I tried to include the packaging options but they didn't work. Someone help me please as I don't know what to do or what to remove.
My gradle looks like this:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.loudoms.loock"
minSdkVersion 15

}

}
}
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/ASL2.0'
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'

compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.0.0-beta3'
compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:7.0.1'
}

This question is because ModuleA and ModuleB has same jar(also this jar has META-INF direct)，
method is：create a new Module(select Library)，then take the jar join to this Module's "libs" direct，then let ModuleA and ModuleB dependent this Module Library.
In this way,no DuplicateFileException.

Picasso crashed with NoClassDefFoundError

I have been using Picasso for quite a while now. I have encountered a weird problem today.
I simply loaded an image url to an imageview with this code,
Picasso.with(_context)
.load(groupDeatils.getThumbnail()).transform(new CircleTransform())
.into(group_pic);
This is my gradle build,

compile 'com.shamanland:fab:0.0.8'
compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
compile project(':library')
}
After building the project when I run it and go to the page I am getting this error,
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.squareup.picasso.Utils
Any help would be appreciated.
