Got an error while building a project in new workspace

Question

Am new for android development. I tried to create a new workspace with Target SDK as API 21 and Compiled with API 19. I have installed the sdk of API19 and 20 and not the Android5. I created a new workspace and created a new project in which I ended up with the below error while compiling the project after creating it. Can anyone help me how to get rid of this?

Error details:

Answer 1

1. Update the project.properties file of appcompat v7, which has:target=android-19 to target=android-21

2. Also update google play services library (by update I mean update it in SDK Manager and re-import etc)

Answer 2

Right click project properties and change project Build Target To 5.0

change target=android-21 in your manifest

Answer 3

compile project with Android 5.0 API leveL 21.

Answer 4

I believe this is a bug.

I just verified that I can create a new Hello World app ( the standard default ) just fine with Version 20 of Android Support Library ( using SDK all the way down to 14 ). However, it fails with 21.0.3 with the exact same errors that you posted above.

Answer 5

I got a similar error as someone new to installing Android tools and having mistakenly selected the 4.4W as well as 4.4.2 in the Android SDK Manager.

This results in having both API 20 and API 19 installed which means API 20 seems to be newer and will be picked up by default for new projects.

However, API 20 is Wearables Only.

You can see here in that 4.4W has ended up in the path.

Both the appcompat_v7 and HelloAndy project targets had this path problem.

I edited project.properties for both and changed target=android-20 to target=android-19 then did a Refresh on both projects (right-click the appcompat_v7 and other project). That updated the build paths to point to the correct Android SDK.

Answer 6

Did you change the project's build target to Android 4.4.2 too?

Here guys had the same problem: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14843198/3864698

Answer 7

One anther thing you can try is to open the project.properties file of the android-support-v7-appcompat and change the target target. And then just do a Project --> Clean so that the changes take effect.

Answer 8

Your compiled with setting should be the same or later than your target setting. If you try to target api 21 with tools that don't understand api 21, you shouldn't be surprised when it doesn't work.

Answer 9

Change the workspace and definitely your error will be rectified.

There is some bug in android app v7 library.

Create a new workspace and then create a project. Use the same steps and you will not find an error this time.

Answer 10

I have had the same problem and tried all the solutions provided on stackoverflow, but non of them worked for me. Finally I came across this solution

https://stackoverflow.com/a/33505965/3840615

and it worked for me.

Answer 11

Just remove that style line whereever error is found then clean your project

and make your project 5.0 setted
