Getting Error

Error:(17, 0) Could not find method maven() for arguments [build_2rpdxydj6arlyq4m2v87kde3g$_run_closure1$_closure2$_closure3@70ca8e63] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

Please Help Me...

Answer 1

You can work this one around like by adding the mavenCentral() to the repositories, then add the code to the repositories below the mavenCentral() line, and then resync:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com" // Google's Maven repository
        }
    }
}

this should remove the conflict with the sync.
