Android Studio构建Gradle同步失败

Question

I am trying to add google play service to my project but it gives me error when I try to edit build (Gradle).

How can I fix it?

Answer 1

In your configuration there some issues.

• You are using the wrong build.gradle file.
  It is your top-level file. You should add this line in your app/build.gradle

• There is a typo. You are missing the ' at the end of the line compile.

• Use an updated version .

For example use:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
        ...

        dependencies {
            compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0'
        }

Finally refer this official doc for more info.

In versions of Google Play services prior to 6.5, you had to compile the entire package of APIs into your app. In some cases, doing so made it more difficult to keep the number of methods in your app (including framework APIs, library methods, and your own code) under the 65,536 limit.

For example if you need to make only your app aware of location updates add compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.1.0' only in gradle or if you need only map choose compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.1.0'.

Answer 2

Please replace

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:3.1.36

with

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:3.1.36'

Answer 3

您可以尝试做的一件事是，右键单击“依赖项”选项卡上的应用程序打开模块设置 ，然后单击“ +”图标并在其中添加“ com.google.android.gms：play-services：8.1.0” ，然后单击搜索图标并添加该依赖项，

Answer 4

So i don't want to elaborate what you had done wrong as my colleagues figured it out.I like to say, while playing with Google Play Service

Selectively compile APIs into your executable
