Build error in android studio

Question

My gradle file like this

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

 android {
   compileSdkVersion 19
   buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.test.app"
    minSdkVersion 19
    targetSdkVersion 19

    ndk {
        moduleName "opus"
    }
}

buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
    }
}
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.1.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'
    compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.4'

}

I got following error during build

How can i solve this

seems to be an issue with your resource file.. did you try clean project.. — Chandan, Nov 27 '15 at 11:39
As your targetSdkVersion is 19, you can delete `values-v21` folder in res directory. Then clean and build your project. — Uniruddh, Nov 27 '15 at 11:41
Also if you are trying to use `Material` Theme make sure, you have followed this guide: http://developer.android.com/training/material/theme.html. Else consider changing theme for your project. — Uniruddh, Nov 27 '15 at 11:43
i deleted the folder values-v21 and perform clean and build project but still here issues — anas p a, Nov 27 '15 at 11:55

Since you are using:

 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'

you are adding the latest version which has a dependencies with

 <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.android.support</groupId>
      <artifactId>support-v4</artifactId>
      <version>22.2.0</version>
      <scope>compile</scope>
      <type>aar</type>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>

You can check the gms\play-services-basement\8.3.0 pom file.

It requires API 22 to compile the project then change the:

compileSdkVersion 22

Also I suggest you using the latest api 23

   compileSdkVersion 23
   buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

and don't use the + in your dependencies.

Whats your logcat throws

Error:(16) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Inverse'.

Set the compile sdk version to 21 .

 compileSdkVersion 21
 buildToolsVersion '23.0.0'

And call

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87'

Then click Apply -> click OK, clean and build project and run it.

Do not call compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.1.0'

Did you set `compileSdkVersion 21` ?? – IntelliJ Amiya Nov 27 '15 at 11:58
`compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87'` – IntelliJ Amiya Nov 27 '15 at 11:59
