How can I compile the older version of google play service in Android Studio?

Question

I had tried the new version(8.4.0) of google play service in my application. This had successful to run. But I want to compile the older google play service. When I change the version in Android Studio, it cannot sync successful. How can I compile the correct older google play service. I want to compile version at lease 6.0.5. Thank you!

Here is the build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.tina.releasemap"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}
  }

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87'
}

What does it mean that "it cannot sync successful"? Maybe you're choosing a version that does not exist? Please paste the actual dependency line — Bartek Lipinski, Dec 31 '15 at 12:08

You cannot select just a random version of play-services and hope it'll work. The only versions you can select from are the ones you've installed through Android SDK Manager inside your IDE.

To check which versions you have, you need to check your SDK dir. More information here.
