Error while using support-v4 and and appcompat-v7

Question

These are my dependencies in build.gradle

dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile files('libs/jdom-2.0.6.jar')

}

If I rebuild project I get this errors.

What is exactly the problem? I want to use the appcompat-v7 because I implement the Navigation Drawer.

What can I do to solve the problem.

EDIT:

I edited my gradle like:

compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

But I get some other errors:

\app\build\intermediates\exploded-aar\com.android.support\appcompat-v7\23.1.1\res\values-v23\values-v23.xml
Error:(2) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Inverse'.
Error:(2) Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Material.Button.Colored'.

Here is my complete gradle File:

    android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.1.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "de.example.example.app"
        minSdkVersion 17
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
        exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
        exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/dependencies.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/LGPL2.1'
    }
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
    }
    repositories{
        mavenCentral()
    }

}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
    compile files('libs/jdom-2.0.6.jar')
}

That is not problem with two dependencies...We can add both a time..you should decrease you compileSDK version. — Saritha G, Dec 02 '15 at 12:48

don't use the both library: v4 and v7 both

Simply switch to the only one latest library which is better i.e.:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'

v7 includes the v4 support library so there is no need to have it in there again

try to add this also

 compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'

Your build.gradle file may have problem like compleSdkVersion or buildToolsVersion.

Therefore, when you are using support and design v23 you have to compile against SDK 23.

compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '23.1.1'

and also try to check 23.0.1 instead 23.1.1 if you may not have your sdk update, trying to utilize.

Finally after posting you build.gradle i found you change targetSdkVersion 23, also clean, rebuild project, try to restart if possible. Thanks

Oh well I didn't know that. Thank you for this information! – korunos Dec 02 '15 at 12:45
I erased the support-v4 but I get the same errors – korunos Dec 02 '15 at 12:46
please try my updated answer if helps, otherwise show you build.gradle, also update sdk – Androider Dec 02 '15 at 12:54
so I have now: compileSdkVersion 23 buildToolsVersion "23.1.1" – korunos Dec 02 '15 at 12:57
and just: compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1' – korunos Dec 02 '15 at 12:57
Is that right? Because I got the error – korunos Dec 02 '15 at 13:01
whatever i am using the same, please post you build.gradle completely and then i may find, solution, – Androider Dec 02 '15 at 13:02
added the whole build.grade file. – korunos Dec 02 '15 at 13:04
try to use: targetSdkVersion 23, also clean, rebuild project, try to restart if possible. Thanks – Androider Dec 02 '15 at 13:09
my pleasure if my answer was helpful to you, – Androider Dec 02 '15 at 13:22
I would be very thankful if you can vote up my question as well! :) – korunos Dec 02 '15 at 13:44
