In Android, error "could not find com.android.support:support-v4:22.2.20" while integrate AdMob into my App

Question

I want to integrate AdMob into my app. If I add the following line in the dependencies

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:8.3.0'

then I get the following error:

Error:A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
 Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:_debugCompile'.
    Could not find com.android.support:support-v4:22.2.0.

You receive that error because your Android Support Repository is not updated.

To resolve the issue:

• Open SDK Manager
• Select Extras > Android Support Repository
• Press Install packages...
