Can't seem to get this to build on android.

:compileDebugJava/Users/admin/Projects/test-app/client/platforms/android/src/com/synconset/CordovaHttpDownload.java:20: error: package org.apache.cordova.file does not exist

I tried installing the latest cordova-file-plugin but I'm still getting this error. Maybe it has something to do with gradle?
