Updated Gradle & Dependencies

[arnolde]

As of today, this build.gradle works for me (StarterCode):

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28
    buildToolsVersion "28.0.3"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.android.shushme"
        minSdkVersion 16
        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'
        }
    }
}

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

    api 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
    api 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:28.0.0'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    api ('com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:16.0.0') {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
    }
    api ('com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:16.0.0') {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
    }
}
