Answer 1

Installing both Android Support Library and Local Maven Repository for Support Libraries from the Android SDK manager (Extras section) fixed this issue for me.

Answer 2

If you are using Android SDK command line tools, type:

sdkmanager "extras;android;m2repository"

The SDK manager will install the m2 repository

Answer 3

This issue exists in Android studio Beta versions The only solution is to use

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

in project gradle file

Answer 4

You need to install "Android Support Repository" from the Android SDK manager. (a.k.a extra-android-m2repository if installing from the command line)

**OR**

You need to install "Android Support Library(Obsolete)" from the Android SDK manager.

I fixed it by adding google() in allprojects node on top-level build.gradle file. Here is my top level file for reference

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
          mavenLocal()
          google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
}

try compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
