For those who still facing the problem, above answer did not help me in android studio 2.2 Preview.

This fixed my issue.

add this to your gradle file.

configurations.all {
  resolutionStrategy {
    force 'com.android.support:support-annotations:23.1.1'
 }
}

Android support library error after updating to 23.3.0

Resolved versions for app (22.0.0) and test app (21.0.3) differ

update - if the previous answer doesn't work :

you should update the compileSdkVersion and appcompat to the latest update till now compileSdkVersion is 27 , also appcompat is 27.1.1 and 28.0.0-alpha1 is a pre-release version

thus

change

compileSdkVersion 27

and

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'

to latest update

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'

you can check the latest updates from this link :
