How to compile play-services:11.2.0

Question

I want to get current place of my device, and I follow this link:google And this tutorial requires Google Play services version 11.2.0 or later. But when I compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.2.0', I get :

Error:(26, 13) Failed to resolve: com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.0

here is my build.gradle(Module:app):

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.administrator.googlemap"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.2.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.0.2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:11.0.2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.2'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

And here is my build.grandle(Project)

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://maven.google.com/"}
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

How can I resolve this Error.?

Instead of variable version name

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+'

Use constant version, latest is 26.1.0

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'

You've google maven repo link in buildscript repository list, You should also add google maven repo in project dependencies repository list of your root build.gradle file

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://maven.google.com/"}
    }
}

Selective compile is better option instead of complete play-services artifacts, you should choose what you needed in your project.

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.2.0'  // -> latest is 11.4.0

break it into your required artifact, like

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:11.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.4.0'

If you're using Android Plugin for Gradle 3.0.0 or latter version

repositories {
      mavenLocal()
      mavenCentral()
      google()        //---> Add this
}

replace compile with implementation, More about this replacement here

Add

maven {
        url 'https://maven.google.com'
    }

in your build.gradle, ie,

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com'
        }
    }
}

And also remove other google dependencies if you use play service 11.2.0

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.2.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.0.2'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:11.0.2'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.2'

to

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