During Google I/O 2016's What's new in Android development tools a great new feature was quickly mentioned: Android Gradle plugin can now automatically download missing dependencies from Android SDK.
It's also mentioned in Android Gradle plugin 2.2.0-alpha4 release notes.
How do I enable it?

Quick fix: Go to the Tools –> SDK manager –> SDK tools. Deselect Hide obsolete packages option on the right bottom and further install Android SDK Tools(obsolete).
You will need to download the Android SDK without Android Studio bundled. Go to Android SDK and navigate to the SDK Tools Only section. Copy the URL for the download that's appropriate for your build machine OS. Unzip and place the contents within your home directory.
In gradle.properties file in your project's root folder add the following line:
android.builder.sdkDownload=true
Note: at the time of writing this option is experimental. It looks like so far it downloads missing build tools and platforms, but doesn't attempt to update repositories where the support libraries or Google Play Services libraries live according to a bug report/feature request.
Edit: since now support libraries and other libraries from Google live on maven.google.com and not in local repositories, the note above isn't as important.

I did:
gradle --refresh-dependencies
on the terminal, and it solved the problem.
