I tried deleting the library from the SDK manager and download it again

I tried deleting the library and refreshing my project and deleting every line in the build path about android-support-v7-appcompat

I when I set up the bath again I import the library and then add it to my project path

still nothing work, I'm using ADT (Android Developer Tools) not Android Studio

    Thanks, this helped me. Just a side note for others, you only need set this target for the android-support-v7 project. You can keep your own project settings unchanged. – Vincent Nikkelen Oct 18 '14 at 15:27

In order to switch to the API v21 versions of the compat and support libraries, you also have to switch to compileSdkVersion 21 and buildToolsVersion '21.0.1'.

In Android Studio, you set these in build.gradle. In ADT, I don't remember how to set them.

My solution to a similar error;

1) I installed 21 api with sdk manager.

2) I changed my project's build target to 21. and I changed v7-appcompat library build target to 21.

and finally I think support library projects (v7-appcompat or v7-gridlayout) must be in workingset.

If using eclipse make sure you have updated these tools from SDK Manager-

  1. Android 5.0(API 21)-SDK Platform
  2. Android support repository
  3. Android support library
  4. Google Play Services
  5. Google Repository
  6. Latest Build Tools

After updating all of them import v7 project and open the project.properties file of the android-support-v7-appcompat and change the target from target=android-19 to target=android-21 .

Clean the project and you are good to go.
