Android Studio - Could Not Find Org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.1.3-2

I was tring to compile my project in Android Studio (using Java) and the following error appeared: Could not find org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.1.3-2. Searched in the follo

Solution 1:

Remove the buildscript block from your app module build.gradle. It overrides whatever the top-level build.gradle provided and it's missing jcenter repo where Kotlin is.

Solution 2:

So, I found the solution. I was still doing some research and I found this question: possible solution

People said jcenter() must be included in the project-level build.gradle, and since I already had it, I tried to add it to build.gradle (app).

It worked.

If someone could explain why, it would be awesome.
