android - RecyclerView is missing

Question

I just installed the new SDK tools (Android L Developer Preview), and I'm trying to use RecyclerView but it seems to be missing.

From my understanding I should include the v7 support library, but I can't seem to do that...

I can't seem to find the v7 library in the SDK folder (I did install the Android Support Library from the SDK Manager).

You have to update the android repository, the support library and you have to use this dependency:

compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:+'

UPDATED 30/10/2017:

Using the + is not a good option because you are not able to replicate the build in the future.

You can use one of these versions. Check your sdk for updated version:

  //it requires compileSdkVersion 27
  implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.1.0'
  implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.0.2'
  implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.0.1'
  compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.0.0'

  //it requires compileSdkVersion 26
  //it requires to add the google maven repo 
  //  maven {
  //        url "https://maven.google.com"
  //        }
  compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:26.1.0'
  compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:26.0.2'
  compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:26.0.1'
  compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:26.0.0'

  //it requires compileSdkVersion 25
  compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.4.0'
  compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.3.1'
  compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.3.0'
  compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.2.0'
  compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.1.1'
  compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.1.0'  
  compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.0.0'  

  //it requires compileSdkVersion 24
  compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:24.1.1'
