Resource Missing Error - Android Studio

When I use Android Studio and I try to create a new project it gets stuck on Gradle: Resolve dependencies ':app:_debugCompile' . So I ran gradle from the terminal and I get this error: Resource missing. [HTTP GET: https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/support/support-annotations/21.0.2/support-annotations-21.0.2.pom]

How can I fix this?

Hi Charlie

Can you check your build.gradle(app)

It should look something like (below). Under dependancies does it show (compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.2') if not you will need to update your SDK Manager with the version update 21. If you already have 21 installed you may need to reinstall it via SDK Manager as there may be a compiler error with version 21 support.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android { compileSdkVersion 21 buildToolsVersion "21.1.1"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "uk.co.waynetech.hangman"
    minSdkVersion 10
    targetSdkVersion 21
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        runProguard false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

}

dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.2' }
