Failed to resolve: com.google.android.gms:play-services in IntelliJ Idea with gradle

I\'m trying to add google play services to my libGDX project in IntelliJ Idea. I\'ve followed the setup guide here: https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup

Answer 1

I tried solving this problem for hours after I haven't used Android Studio some time and wasn't aware of the updates.

It is important that google() is the first item that stands in repositories like this:

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

Somehow google() was the second item after jcenter(), so everything was messed up and didn't work. Maybe this helps someone.
