Android Studio Error using gradle

Question

I'm using Android Studio with Gradle for my project. I had to convert it from eclipse to android studio. But I get this error

Failed to find: com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.0.77

That's my build.gradle file.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 18
    buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.org.appname"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 17
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }
}


dependencies {
    // Google Play Services
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.0.77'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:20.0.0'
    compile 'org.jsoup:jsoup:1.7.3'
    compile 'io.segment.analytics.android:google-analytics:1.3.1'
    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.3.3'
}

What's Wrong? I have installed the Google Repository like a read in some other post. But it doesn't work. Thanks

Answer 1

Use com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.0.89 . You can find the available versions in extras/google/m2repository/com/google/android/gms/play-services of your Android SDK directory.

Answer 2

Use this line:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.0.+'

Instead of

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.0.77'

Edit: This is a bad practice, please use exact version if possible and avoid using + .
