Android Twitter Fabric SDK conflict with support library

Question

I have a problem with Twitter Fabric SDK. When I integrate the sdk and try to build, I get this error;

Error:Failed to find: com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.0

And this is my gradle.build file

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/repo' }
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.+'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/repo' }
}

apply plugin: 'io.fabric'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.eventz.android"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 19
        versionCode 13
        versionName '1.1.2'
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
dependency.
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.+'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:20.+'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.0.+'
    compile project(':facebook')
    compile fileTree(dir:'libs', include:['*.jar'])
    compile files('libs/volley.jar')
    compile files('libs/Parse-1.5.1.jar')

    compile('com.twitter.sdk.android:twitter:1.0.1@aar') {
        transitive = true;
    }
}

I also tried to remove that support library but the I get this error;

Hemal from Fabric here, I'd love to help with this. We require the support library for Android L as part of the Twitter kit but it should be easy for you to grab- go to the Android SDK manager, and then select the support library and the support repository for v20 here to install:

Once that's installed, you can re-build and you should be good to go! Let me know how it goes.
