Android Studio update – Failed to resolve com.android.databinding – Facebook api

I recently updated my JAVA to 1.8 version and also made android studio updates and gradle plugin updates as well. After the update i get following error in one of my module’s(i.e. facebook module) build.gradle file on compiling my project:

My project level build.gradle looks like this:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.0-beta4'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:2.0.0-alpha6'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

Also there are few Symbol not found error like Cannot resolve Symbol ‘GradleScriptException’ and Cannot resolve symbol ‘MavenDeployment’ in facebook module build.gradle file. The full code of facebook buil.gradle is:

    mavenCentral()

Clicking on Upgrade plugin and sync project does not do anything.

I have tried “Invalidate cache and restart” as suggested by various sources but it didn’t work. I already have mentioned the latest version of gradle plugin in my project build.gradle.

I have gone through Gradle DSL Method not found: testCompile() but it does not resolve my issue.

What should i do to remove this compile error?

TIA

EDIT 1:
I made the change as suggested by sm4, And this DSL method not found error went off but now it fails to compile with the following error:
