Cannot install platform plugind for android-28 in Android Studio 3.2 preview version

I'm trying to refactor my code to androidX. To do so android asked me to update the compiled version to at lease 28. So I changed my compiled version to compileSdkVersion 28 in bulid.gradle.

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.myapplication"
        minSdkVersion 17
        targetSdkVersion 28
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

But once I sync project I'm unable to download the platform plugins and the following error shows up in build window.

Failed to find target with hash string 'android-28' in: /Users/work/Library/Android/sdk

Your compile version should be android-p. They're using the version name now.

compileSdkVersion 'android-P'

And target should be just P

targetSdkVersion 'P'

See here to know how to set up Android P SDK.

Edit:

If your getting an error/warning "minSdkVersion (21) is greater than targetSdkVersion (1)" this is done on purpose, see here.

As Android P is still Preview, the 'P' in the targetSdkVersion will work as a version 1. Once it's out of preview it will be replaced with the usual 28. For now, to fix this you'd need to raise the minSdkVersion to also 'P'.
