Android Build a Weather App (2015) Networking How Do We Get Data from the Web?

Why okhttp does no longer work or gives an error (Android Studio 1.2.2)?

Dear TeamTreeHouse,

I have completed the Android track, Building the Weather App, it was all fine, when I recompile with Android Studio 1.2.2 the line below gives me an error that I have no clue how to solve:

For the simplistic case, I create a brand new project, and I add the line below in build.gradle:

compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.4.0'

After I compile I get:

Error:(29, 13) Failed to resolve: com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.4.0 <a href="openFile">Show in File</a><br><a href="open.dependency.in.project.structure">Show in Project Structure dialog</a>

What I need to do is to read Json data out of a restful webservice, pretty much in the same way as the weather app does.

Grateful for your help,

Can you post both build.gradle files, app and project?

Ok, I've added the whole zipped project via drag and drop, can you see it?
