I had the same problem in Android Studio....When I copied the file over, AS was importing from:

import com.google.android.gms.internal.io.IOUtils;

after changing to:

import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils;

the error went away :-)

You need the Apache Commons IO jar. See the Teacher Notes and the 2:55 mark in this video

I'm having the same problem, but restarting Android Studio and my computer didn't do the trick.... Any thoughts?

Hi Gilad, if you're still having trouble, can you post a new thread in the Forum and paste in details from your build.gradle file?
