+1 and worth noting that this is not the same as "Android Support Library"... You will want the "Android Support Repository" – dwerner Aug 08 '14 at 04:45
I've spent 2 days trying to fix the error. I realise from the start I didn't download the `support repository`, just saw your post a moment ago, then downloading. Problem solved ! thanks – Azizi Musa Oct 16 '14 at 04:22

My support repository version 12 is installed, and I'm still getting this error. – IgorGanapolsky Apr 17 '15 at 06:11

Thanks! This also fixed a problem for me with PhoneGap where an `cordova build android` was throwing a similar error! – Giel Berkers Aug 07 '15 at 12:53

The name has changed to "Local Maven repository for Support Library" (v28) – n00dl3 Mar 18 '16 at 08:50

The UI has changed enough that these answers no longer work (Android Studio 3.+). Sigh. – SMBiggs Jul 22 '18 at 21:26

In Project > app > build.gradle file replace the line

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+'29.+'

with

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

and line

implementation 'com.android.support:design:29.+'

with

implementation 'com.android.support:design:+'

Then clean build

Never use glob matches in the version as it may break code due version updates – ruX Nov 16 '19 at 19:21

It is very simple. Kindly update and replace the below code in build.gradle(Project :App Name).

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
        }
    }
}

This works for Gradle-based projects, although it doesn't help so much if you're running `aapt`, `javac` and `dx` manually without Gradle. – Silas S. Brown Feb 26 '20 at 18:27

After installing Extras|Android Support Repository, It does not work for me. Then I change v7:1.6 to v7:1.8 in the app build.gradle file.

com.android.support:appcompat-v7:1.8.+! and It works for me.

Open SDK Manager.exe in your Android Studio folder and install a matching API.

I found all these answers incorrect for me. Instead in your android studio look below on the left. There will be some help for this.

For example, you will notice This support library should not use a different version (32) than the compilesdkVersion (23)

Then you change the version of to 23 like this

compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23'

Now, you will see a message A newer version of com.android.support-v4 than 23 is available 23.4.0.

Thats how I knew that the correct version is 23.4.0

That's a different issue. – Fran Marzoa Mar 06 '20 at 15:53 — Fran Marzoa, Mar 06 '20 at 15:53

If you see this after you've just created a new project in Intellij then try to recreate it again with "Use AndroidX artifacts" checked

To whom came here for same error but version 29, change your support library to version 28:

build.gradle(app):

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.+'
    ...
}

None of googled solutions worked for me. Then I saw Android has only support library up to version 28. It is weird that I got this error in an out-of-box created Android Studio project.

I'm not sure which Android Studio version was, cause I upgraded Studio after got error. Now in Android Studio 3.6.3, new projects coming with 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.2'.

This worked for me to build and run this project. I had to add google in both sections.

build.gradle (project)

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.2'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

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

build.gradle(app)

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'



android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    buildToolsVersion "29.0.2" //25.0.2"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId 'com.github.nkzawa.socketio.androidchat'

    productFlavors {

Got the same error but version 26.

Downloading the libraries through the SDK Manager is no longer supported. The support libraries are now available through Google's Maven repository.

Solution:

In build.gradle (project) inside both buildscript/repositories and allprojects/repositories add this:

maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com/'
            name 'Google'
        }

Result:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com/'
            name 'Google'
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com/'
            name 'Google'
        }
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

It worked for me.

Android Studio could not find any version that matches com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+
