Did you find a fix for this? Apparently I am having similar issue with gradle 2.5 — Syed Ali, Sep 01 '15 at 15:12
download android-sdk again(not update), could solve this problem. — stackvoid, Sep 23 '15 at 01:47
Find sdk location and multidex path like this; "\android-sdk\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support\multidex". You'll see versions already downloaded. just use last version. If still gets same error, check your sdk location. — kaya, Oct 30 '16 at 11:40

You need to install "Android Support Repository" from the Android SDK manager. (a.k.a extra-android-m2repository if installing from the command line)

**OR**

You need to install "Android Support Library(Obsolete)" from the Android SDK manager.

This issue exists in Android studio Beta versions The only solution is to use

repositories {
    maven {
        url 'https://maven.google.com'
    }
}

in project gradle file

Installing both Android Support Library and Local Maven Repository for Support Libraries from the Android SDK manager (Extras section) fixed this issue for me.

If you are using Android SDK command line tools, type:

sdkmanager "extras;android;m2repository"

The SDK manager will install the m2 repository

I fixed it by adding google() in allprojects node on top-level build.gradle file. Here is my top level file for reference

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
          mavenLocal()
          google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
    }
}

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