failed to resolve com.android.support.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2

I've just downloaded android studio for the first time and i'm getting gradle errors. I've downloaded everything the SDK provided and still the same errors.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.noelly.myapplication"
    minSdkVersion 19
    targetSdkVersion 25
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}
}

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.+'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

The errors I'm getting are

  (Failed to resolve: com.android.support.appcompat-v7:25.+)

and

(Failed to resolve: com.android.support.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2)

Everything by the way is up to date,please help this is really frustrating starting out.

**EDIT FROM ANSWER ONE- PICTURE OF INSTALLED TOOLS--- sdktoolsscreenshot

Code form project build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'

    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}

allprojects {
repositories {
    jcenter()
}
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}

I got this same error message after renaming a layout file, although everything had just worked before. I fixed this by commenting out these lines from gradle:

androidTestCompile('com.android.support.detail_layout.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })

I have no idea why this happened or if this is a good way of fixing it, only hoping that this could be a quick fix for some beginner like me.

This error can occur when we refactor layout name.

I had the same problem and my mistake was that I had created the layout naming test.xml and then when I refactored that name with like layout_offers.xml, my gradle was changed something like

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.detail_layout.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    })

Whereas It should be like follow

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})

So, one solution is that we should avoid using test.xml as a layout name.

I got same trouble as yours, and I have found how to solve the problem. It was because I was using x86 operating system, while android studio was x64. I went to https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html and pressed 'download option', and installed x86 version of android studio. Do not uninstall your previous x64 android studio. It is required because of the android sdk. unpack your x86 android studio anywhere, and find 'bin' folder. There should be your 'studio.exe'.

Here's how your gradle file should look like:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.noelly.myapplication"
    minSdkVersion 19
    targetSdkVersion 25
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}
}

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.0'
}

Update: There must be a problem with the SDK you downloaded. Navigate to C:/Users/Noelly/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk/extras/android/m2repository/com/android and delete the support folder.

Now open your SDK Manager and re-install the Android Support Repository.
