Android Studio – Failure to setup Room in build.grade

I’m trying to configure the build.grade to use Room

The error persists:

Unresolved reference: room

And, consequently, the anotation remains Unresolved

@Entity

After 7 tutorials and 3 days, I have to surrender and ask for help.

Here I paste my build.grade. I’ve got it from this google tutorial:

https://developer.android.com/codelabs/android-room-with-a-view-kotlin#3

Which, by the way, is completely diferent from this other google tutorial:

https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/room

What am I doing wrong?
