Installing Google Play Services

Question

I want to use location APIs with Google Play Services

This is top-level gradle file :

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'

        // 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
}

and this is my app-level gradle file :

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.1"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "..."
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    productFlavors {
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    //    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
    //        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    //    })
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:25.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.0.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.4.2'
}

When I want to build the project, this error shown :

Error:(30, 13) Failed to resolve: com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.4.2
Install Repository and sync project
Show in File
Show in Project Structure dialog

I have Installed Google Play Services By Clicking on "Install Repository and Sync Project" but the error still shown

According to this documentation : https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup I have replaced google-play-services dependency with this lines :

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.4.2'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.4.2'

When I build project, "Failed to resolve ... " error shown but when I click on "Install Repository and sync project" nothing happened !

What is the problem ? There is problem on version numbers ? or something else ?!

From android studio open sdk manager, then select tools, you'll see google play services. Install it. — RonTLV, Oct 13 '17 at 16:01

From what is written HERE, to use google play services from version 11.2.0 your project compileSdkVersion must be set to, at least, version 26.

When you upgrade your app’s Play services dependencies to 11.2.0 or later, your app’s build.gradle must also be updated to specify a compileSdkVersion of at least 26 (Android O). This does not change the way your app runs. You will not be required to update targetSdkVersion.

Since your project is running on version 25, the max google play service version you can import in gradle is version 11.0.

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0'

Error:(20, 0) Could not find method google() for arguments [] on repository container. – Mahmoud_Mehri Oct 13 '17 at 15:15
Check my edited post. Are you running compileSDK below 26? – Ricardo Oct 13 '17 at 15:16
I just showed you the source of your problem and gave you the solution – Ricardo Oct 13 '17 at 15:25

You need to add the following to your project level Gradle file:

allprojects { 
repositories {
 maven { url "https:// maven.google.com" }
  }
 }
//This is when you are using a version of Gradle below 4.1.

Note - if you are following this, then you also need to downgrade your play services dependency version. A better way would be to update to latest compileSDKVersion

there's `google()` for some time now. No need to set up URL explicitely if you are using recent tools – Marcin Orlowski Oct 13 '17 at 15:20
But that won't work in 2.3.3 – Kartik Shandilya Oct 13 '17 at 15:20
Thats why there are updates – Ricardo Oct 13 '17 at 15:22
I totally agree with you but my answer is based on the error the OP mentions – Kartik Shandilya Oct 13 '17 at 15:25
If you read my answer you will understand what he is doing wrong and has nothing to do with the repositories – Ricardo Oct 13 '17 at 15:26
Even if updates to version 26 then also I think he needs to add the Maven repository. Correct me if I'm wrong. – Kartik Shandilya Oct 13 '17 at 15:37
