Android Studio:failed to find target google apis:8

Question

I was trying to import an example from internet, which seems to be made in Eclipse.
I am using Android Studio and it gives me this error.

What do I do, after opening the SDK Manager?

Error:Cause: failed to find target Google Inc.:Google APIs:8 : /Users/wangel/Library/Android/sdk

Update your sdk downloading the api8, or change the target of your project to 22 (updating the sdk before) — Gabriele Mariotti, Apr 27 '15 at 18:34
Refer to Paul 's answer But in my case, I had to launch "standalone SDK manager" to have it working — La masse, Mar 24 '17 at 11:30

You have to open your Android SDK Manager, which you can do from Android Studio (Tools - Android - SDK Manager) and install the appropriate SDK version, which in your case is 8.

Once this is done, try importing the example again, or if already imported, do a clean and rebuild (Build - Clean Project.
