android studio gradle dependencies fails with no error

I'm using the gradle build script, in android studio to fetch the Parse android SDK, as follow:

dependencies {

    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
    compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.+'
}

The build process succeeds with no errors, yet , when I the to import com.parse.Parse; I get cannot resolve symbol parse.

To my understanding, that build script was supposed to download the Parse SDK from a maven repository, and build it, or otherwise to fail.

Where do I have wrong?

Check Parse's Android Studio guide again, you'll see this: enter image description here

Step 1 instructs you to download the SDK.

Step 2 asks you to first put Parse-*.java to the project's libs folder, and then add the script you've shown in your question into build.gradle. Notice that the library pulled from maven is just an auxiliary library, not the Parse library itself. This is why Android Studio cannot find the Parse class.
