Answer 1

Go to the setting -> apps in your android testing phone and search for google play services and click on it, there you will find the version number installed on your device.

For me it was 9.6.83

then just add your version number to this command below :-

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.6.83'

• Add this to you build.gradle(app)

• Gradle sync

Later you may get a gradle error saying that the particular repository needs to be installed, Go ahead and download it ! Voila your next gradle sync is successfull.
