Answer 1

I had the same problem, I tried Manoj Prabhakar's solution but I fixed adding the google() repository to the buildscript block in the project level build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
    }
}
