Question

So I installed android studio 3.0.1 and as soon as it opened the gradle built and showed the following errors. I tried adding dependencies such as design and support but in

Answer 1

This error occurs because of mismatched compileSdkVersion and library version.

for example:

compileSdkVersion 27
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:26.1.0'

and also avoid to use + sign with library as in the following:

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+'

use exact library version like this

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'

Using + sign with the library makes it difficult for the building process to gather the exact version that is required, making system unstable, hence should be discouraged.
