I found a Complete solution for this issue. here is a simple explanation for changes in you build.gradle file.

• You have to replace compile with api where ever you are using any api ref. like: volley, GitHub dependancy.strong text
• You have to replace compile with implementation where ever you are using android library like play-services-maps,appcompat-v7 etc

The compile configuration is deprecated, so you will have to use implementation configuration instead. Under dependencies, in your app module's build.gradle, replace compile with implementation.
