What version of appcompat should I use in dependencies?

Question

I'm using the latest version of appcompat. This is my dependencies:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:21.0.0'
}

When I rebuild the project, I got these errors:

 F:\AndroidStudioProjects\recycleView\app\build\intermediates\exploded-aar\com.android.support\appcompat-v7\23.0.0\res\values-v17\values-v17.xml
    Error:(6, 21) No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:textAlignment'.
    Error:(10, 21) No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:paddingEnd'.
    Error:(10, 21) No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:paddingEnd'...........it goes for about 50 more lines 
    F:\AndroidStudioProjects\recycleView\app\build\intermediates\exploded-aar\com.android.support\appcompat-v7\23.0.0\res\values-v23\values-v23.xml
    Error:(1) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Inverse'.
    Error:(1) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Material.Button.Colored'.

What is the problem? How can I fix it?

EDIT: the new dependencies (recyclerview-v7:23.0.0') and errors along with it:

F:\AndroidStudioProjects\recycleView\app\build\intermediates\exploded-aar\com.android.support\appcompat-v7\23.0.0\res\values-v17\values-v17.xml

You should always use the support libraries with the same level.

For example it is a good idea to use the last version. Currently

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.0'
}

If you are using the support libraries v23,you have to compile your project with API23.

In your build.gradle change the compileSdkVersion to 23.

  compileSdkVersion 23

You should use the same version as appcompat for RecyclerView. So,

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.0'
}

would work.

Try this;

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.0.0'

I am not sure if there is a v7:23+ available for recyclerview
