Solution 1

You need to install "Android Support Repository" from the Android SDK manager. (a.k.a extra-android-m2repository if installing from the command line)

**OR**

You need to install "Android Support Library(Obsolete)" from the Android SDK manager.

Solution 2

This issue exists in Android studio Beta versions The only solution is to use

repositories {
    maven {
        url 'https://maven.google.com'
    }
}

in project gradle file

Find sdk location and multidex path like this; "\android-sdk\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\suppor‌​t\multidex". You'll see versions already downloaded. just use last version. If still gets same error, check your sdk location.
