Answer 1

1. Make sure you download the Android Support Repository under Extras using the SDK Manager

2. The in your project module look for the second build.gradle file uncomment the dependencies section that is pointed in your case, the file provides some instruction on what you have to do.

3. With that in place save, build and test, happy coding!
