Set your Project Build target to API level 21. Then rebuild your project.

  • I want to execute my app in android before 2.3.3 .does changing build target ignore this compatibility? – MSepehr Jun 24 '15 at 04:29
  • Do you have latest build target? – Emil Jun 24 '15 at 04:29
  • sorry i'm new in android!is build target the same as Project language level in project structure? – MSepehr Jun 24 '15 at 04:32
  • To support values-v21, Your Build Target should be 5.0. Go to File -> "Project Structure" Under Platform Settings -> SDKs you can see android sdk path, classpath and build target. Update your sdk first with latest build target using sdk manager. – Emil Jun 24 '15 at 04:34
  • ok,i checked it. i have the last version of sdk and i do what you said.but still it has the same errors – MSepehr Jun 24 '15 at 04:40
  • post your settings in build.gradle file – Emil Jun 24 '15 at 04:50
  • i do not have this file in my project – MSepehr Jun 24 '15 at 04:54
  • And check these answers. [link1](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26431676/appcompat-v721-0-0-no-resource-found-that-matches-the-given-name-attr-andro). and [link1](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26457096/appcompat-v7-r21-returning-error-in-values-xml) – Emil Jun 24 '15 at 04:58
  • i did what they said and it work fine but the main problem still does not solve.i want to run my app in device with android 2.3.3 . in these devices the action bar does not shown – MSepehr Jun 24 '15 at 05:54
