Trove4j library cannot be resolved

I'm getting the following error when trying to compile my app:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':myProject'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':myProject:classpath'.
   > Could not find org.jetbrains.trove4j:trove4j:20160824.

It appears a library the IDE needs is missing?


this issue can be resolved by adding jcenter() as a repository in the buildscript section.

buildscript {
  repositories {
     jcenter()
  }

  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-beta2'
  }
}

Additional to Snicolas' answer:

If you have something like:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        google()
        jcenter() //also add it here!!!
    }
}

In your build.gradle file; also add it there.


Since jCenter will close in May, you should change root/build.gradle so:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        gradlePluginPortal()
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        // org.jetbrains.trove4j:trove4j:20160824.
        gradlePluginPortal()
    }
}

Now we can build apk without errors.
