I am getting this error during gradle build in android studio. And I am unable to figure out what I am missing.

Error:Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3. Searched in the following locations: file:/C:/Program Files/Android/Android Studio/gradle/m2repository/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.3.3/gradle-2.3.3.pom

https://maven.google.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.3.3/gradle-2.3.3.jar

Here is my build.gradlefile configuration

`
all sub-projects/modules.
    allprojects {
        repositories {
            jcenter()
            maven {
                url "https://maven.google.com"
            }
            maven {
                url 'https://jitpack.io'
            }
        }
    }

    buildscript {
        dependencies {
            classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'
        }
        repositories {
            maven {
                url 'https://maven.google.com/'
                name 'Google'
            }
        }
    }

    ext {
        supportlib_version = '26.0.2'
        gps_version = '11.2.0'
    }

    //Ensure that all dependencies use the same version of the Android Support library
    subprojects {
        project.configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details ->
                if (details.requested.group == 'com.android.support'
                        && !details.requested.name.contains('multidex')) {
                    details.useVersion "$supportlib_version"
                }
                if (details.requested.group == 'com.google.android.gms'
                        && !details.requested.name.contains('multidex')) {
                    details.useVersion "$gps_version"
                }
            }
        }
    }

    allprojects {
        repositories {
            jcenter()
            maven {
                url 'https://maven.google.com/'
                name 'Google'
            }
        }
    }

Add jcenter() to buildscript repositories if you are using gradle plugin 2.x.

Here's a copy of build.gradle(Project) from my old project.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        // for 2.x
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        // classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0'
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

If your gradle (the one distributed by Gradle) version is low,
also need to edit gradle-wrapper.properties.

Minimum version of Gradle is 3.3 for plugin 2.3.3.

Plugin version 2.3.0+ :
Required Gradle version 3.3+

gradle-wrapper.properties sample: 

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
#distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip

Please see Update Gradle. Available versions are listed in this page.

For information:

This exists (jcenter).
https://bintray.com/android/android-tools/com.android.tools.build.gradle/2.3.3

This does not exist (Google's Maven repository). It's from 3.0, I think.
https://maven.google.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.3.3/gradle-2.3.3.pom

This exists
https://maven.google.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.0.0/gradle-3.0.0.pom

For Gradle version >= 3.0.0

Please see Update the Android Plugin for Gradle and Update Gradle.

You need to use the right version of the gradle and gradle plugin

If you are using plugin 2.2.3 you should use gradle 2.14.1+. If you updated your Android Studio, you should use plugin version 3.0.0+ with gradle 4.1+.

Please, take a lok at documentation:
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin.html

Gradle plugin: build.gradle project file
Gradle: gradle-wrapper.properties file

The error message indicates only Maven Central is being searched. You need jcenter() in your buildscript repositories which, despite your snippet, Gradle does not think is the case. It should probably be in the root build.gradle

 dependencies {
            classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'
            classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
        }
