Couldn't compile android studio project

Question

I want to add a materialdrawer library to my project. When I add dependency, my build.gradle looks like this

 dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1'
    compile('com.mikepenz:materialdrawer:4.4.8@aar') {
        transitive = true
    }
  }

But then i get the following error,

>Error:A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.  
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:_debugCompile'.
   > Could not find com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1.

How to correct this?

its not the drawer that is not compiling it is the appcompat try removing compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1' if you don't need it — Maantje, Nov 18 '15 at 01:30

Make sure to update both "Android Support Repository" and "Android Support Library".

And also ensure the Gradle Sync is completed in Android Studio as @diptia suggested.

After installing the necessary packages , it is VERY important to do a gradle Sync and only then build the project . Else , you will continue to see the same error . – diptia Nov 30 '15 at 15:24
I think `Android Support repository` was renamed to `Local Maven repository for Support libraries`. – nikib3ro Mar 15 '16 at 05:58

com.mikepenz:materialdrawer:4.4.8@aar

It seems like the third party library requires the appcompat v23.1.1.

To solve it :

1) Make sure that com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1 is installed. Check via your SDK Manager.

2) Add compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1' in your build.gradle file.

3) Remove compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1' from your dependencies.
