    The cause: This error happens because the build.gradle file for your project does not contain the Google repository.

    Solution: You should add google() to both of the following places:

    buildscript {

    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'
    }
}

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

  2. I was able solve the problem by adding google() to both locations.

    File -> Project Structure-> Project -> *Now, add ” “, google() in

    Android Plugin Repository

    And

    Default Library Repository
