Using Google Maps API in Android Studio

Question

Hey guys I've installed the SDK for google play services and have added the dependancies however I still get the error:

Failed to find: com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:6.5+

Is there something I'm missing?

Heres my dependencies file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'android'

android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "team08.httpapp"
    minSdkVersion 17
    targetSdkVersion 21
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        runProguard false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}
}

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:20.+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:6.5.+'
}

you don't have to add the `...play-services-maps:6.5.+'` that is handled in your `...play-services:6.5.+'` — zgc7009, Dec 10 '14 at 16:50
What do you mean exactly by `Still can't find it`? When you remove one of those dependencies (one more generic, one more explicit, but you only need one) what error do you get? — zgc7009, Dec 10 '14 at 16:55

Sounds like a bug to me, everything I am looking at looks good. — zgc7009, Dec 10 '14 at 17:30
You can add it directly to your project and compile from your project libraries: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16588064/how-do-i-add-a-library-project-to-the-android-studio — zgc7009, Dec 10 '14 at 19:21
This is a bug. I'm having the exact same issue and the setup is right. — Johnny, Jan 03 '15 at 01:23

Make sure the "Google Repository" is installed in your SDK manager.

Based on this Google blog post: http://android-developers.blogspot.co.at/2014/12/google-play-services-and-dex-method.html

I would remove compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.+' and change the other line to compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:6.5.87'.
