Answer 1

You need to install the “Android Support Repository” from the Android SDK manager. (aka extra-android-m2repository when installing from the command line)

 **OR** 

You need to install the “Android Support Library (Obsolete)” from the Android SDK manager.

Answer 2

This problem exists in beta versions of Android studio. The only solution is to use

 repositories { maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' } } 

in gradle project file

Answer 3

Installing the Android support library and the local Maven repository for support libraries from the Android SDK Manager (Advanced section) fixed this problem for me.

Answer 4

I also used this error. Make sure you update all of your Android studio libraries, plugins, platforms, and sdk tools in the SDK manager. And make sure you are using the latest version (preferably beta strong>) for Android Studio 2.1. He will work after that.

Answer 5

If you use the SDK command line tools for Android , enter:

 sdkmanager "extras;android;m2repository" 

SDK manager will install m2 repository

Answer 6

I fixed it by adding google() in allprojects node to the top level build.gradle file. Here is my top level file for reference

 buildscript { repositories { jcenter() mavenLocal() google() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0' } } allprojects { repositories { jcenter() google() } } 

Answer 7

try compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
