Instead of doing this   compile  com android support support-v4 18 0      Do this   compile  com android support support-v4 18 0       Worked for me

Found a solution   1  Go to where your SDK is located that android studio eclipse is using  If you are using Android studio  go to extras android m2repository com android support   If you are using eclipse  go to  extras android support   2  See what folders you have  for me I had gridlayout-v7  support-v4 and support-v13   3  click into support-v4 and see what number the following folder is  mine was named 13 0  Since you are using  com android support support-v4 18 0     change this to reflect what version you have  for example I have support-v4 so first part v4 stays the same  Since the next path is 13 0  change your 18 0 to    com android support support-v4 13 0      This worked for me  hope it helps   Update   I noticed I had android studio set up with the wrong SDK which is why originally had difficulty updating  The path should be C  Users Username AppData Local Android android-sdk extras   Also note  if your SDK is up to date  the code will be    com android support support-v4 19 0

You are probably hit by this bug which prevents the Android Gradle Plugin from automatically adding the  Android Support Repository  to the list of Gradle repositories  The work-around  as mentioned in the bug report  is to explicitly add the m2repository directory as a local Maven directory in the top-level build gradle file as follows   allprojects       repositories              Work around https   code google com p android issues detail id 69270          def androidHome   System getenv  ANDROID HOME           maven               url   androidHome extras android m2repository

Gradle can work with the 18 0   notation  it however now depends on the new support repository which is now bundled with the SDK   Open the SDK manager and immediately under Extras the first option is  Android Support Repository  and install it

I used to get similar issues  Even after installing the support repository  the build used to fail    Basically the issues is due to the way the version number of the jar files are specified in the gradle files are specified properly   For example  in my case i had set it as  compile  com android support support-v4 21 0 3     On removing     the build was sucessful

Android Studio 3 Make sure you have the latest version of Android Studio  The support library is included by default when you create new projects  If you are adding the Support Library to a project that doesn t have it  then you just need to add a single line to your app module s build gradle file  and then sync gradle  build gradle dependencies               implementation  com android support appcompat-v7 27 1 1      It should just be that easy  though there may be some things to note   Android Studio should give you a warning nowadays if the support library needs to be updated  Just update the 27 1 1 numbers that I have here to whatever it tells you to  You can also manually check what the latest revision is if you want to  The implementation keyword replaces compile that was used in Android Studio 2 x   What s the difference   There are other support library packages that you may need to include depending on what your app uses  like constraint-layout or recyclerview   Make sure that you have the latest updates for everything in the SDK Manager  Go to Tools  gt  SDK Manager   Documentation  Support Library Support Library Setup Support Library Features
