Could not find com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0. after SDK update

Question

After the sdk update im not able to create a hello world application. My build.gradle looks like this

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.coders.yo"
        minSdkVersion 11
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
}

But build got failed and shows

Error:A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:_debugCompile'.
   > Could not find com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0.
     Required by:
         Yo:app:unspecified > com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0

so i added compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0.' and now i get

Error:Failed to find: com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0.
<a href="openFile">Open File</a><br><a href="open.dependency.in.project.structure">Open in Project Structure dialog</a>

I have updated the android sdk and the support libraries

I have been stuck in it for the past few hours .Can some one please help me identify the issue

Answer 1

In my case I just needed to update SDK Tools and Extras.

Answer 2

Your dependencies in build.gradle seem to be correct.

Try to clean the cache (File -> Invalidate cache and restart), then sync the gradle file and clean and build.

In your gradle file there is a strange line. This DSL doesn't exist in last gradle plugin (which version are you using?)

 runProguard false

You should update the plugin (1.1.0), the gradle version (2.2.1) and change this line in

minifyEnabled false

Answer 3

so i added compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0.' and now i get

Error:Failed to find: com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0.

If you added exactly that, then I think your problem is the extra . at the end. :)

Try:

compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'

How to clear gradle cache?

This is all explained here...

Just wipe out your .gradle GLOBAL cache (caches directory)! This was killing me for 2 days...
