Android studio google related dependency

If you wish to add a google related dependency to project, need to add google maven first to the top level of the build.gradle.

First check the current gradle version, in gradle - wrapper - gradle-wrapper.preperties:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.x.x-all.zip

In top level build.gradle:

• If version is 4.0 or above, add google();
• If version is below 4.0, add "maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }";

But be aware, if you use 'google()', you may need to update other components as well, the android studio IDE will tell about that.

May refer here.

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

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
    }
}
