Gradle fails to resolve dependencies in Android Studio

Question

Whenever I add a dependency from an remote repository (jcenter) in Android Studio 1.1 (OS X) I get the following error upon syncing Gradle:

Error:(26, 13) Fa         


        

Answer 1

Rather late but probably your gradle works in offline mode. Go to File->Settings->Gradle and uncheck the offline mode. Then try to refresh gradle and it should work

Answer 2

I have similar problem -> ERROR: Failed to resolve:

solved by using maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' } instead of maven {url 'https://maven.google.com/'}

I have added it in project level build.gradle

allprojects {
  repositories {
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
  }
}

It works fine.
