     project :app > com.google.android.libraries.places:places:2.4.0
Possible solution:
 - Declare repository providing the artifact, see the documentation at https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_repositories.html

i surfed the internet but couldn't find anything in help about this thing.

This is Gradle Code...

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'com.google.gms.google-services'
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 30
    buildToolsVersion "30.0.3"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.fyp.biketracker"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 30
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        multiDexEnabled true
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
}

dependencies {

    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.4.0'
    implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.4'

Answer 1

As you can see here:

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.android.volley/volley/1.1.1

There are two repos which has this particular version of this lib, the spring repo and the AndroidUtils repo. So you need to add either of those to the "repositories" part of your gradle file as:

repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url "https://repo.spring.io/libs-release/"
        }
    }

Most likely this is because the Maven central only contains the newer versions:

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.android.volley/volley

Answer 2

Add the volley library in build.gradle(app)

    dependencies { 
          implementation ("com.android.volley:volley:1.2.1") 
    }

Then fix your Error.
