Gradle build unable to compile when trying to add ads

Question

Ok so I am trying to add ads to my application and it tells me to add this line of code in my build.gradle file.

Error image:

Error image

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.2.0'

As you can see in this image at the bottom it says

  Failed to resolve:compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.2.0'

I cannot click Install repository and sync project because when I do it does nothing. Does not even open another windows or anything?

Try doing these steps,

1)Either you are missing maven link

    `repositories {
     maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
           }
     }`

2) Try updating to your google repository in Android SDK

Start Android Studio -> On the Tools menu, click Android > SDK Manager. Update the Android Studio SDK Manager: click SDK Tools, expand Support Repository, select Google Repository, and then click OK.
