Android Studio 2.0 Preview 2 issue with Renderscript

Question

I updated Android Studio to 2.0 Preview 2, then I got an error Renderscript support mode is not currently supported with renderscript target 21+

I'm using renderscriptTargetApi 23

It was working before, after the update it doesn't any more, and I believe you mean target 20 — atabouraya, Dec 05 '15 at 21:39
did my answer work? if so accepting ti would be great because it seems to be working for others. — Joel Dean, Mar 17 '16 at 15:50
Sometimes It does not work when I put the minimum SDK in gradle.properties, it works only when I explicitly declare it in gradle file — atabouraya, Mar 28 '16 at 16:36
use Build tools 23.0.3 and Gradle 2.1.0 (currently highest version is `com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0-alpha5`) — snachmsm, Apr 11 '16 at 09:32

Renderscript isn't currently supported with Target 21+ so simply change the target to API 20 and that should solve the error. So the renderscript related options in your default config section of your gradle file should like :

renderscriptTargetApi 20
renderscriptSupportModeEnabled true

I'm still getting the same message Error:Renderscript support mode is not currently supported with renderscript target 21+ although I'm using renderscriptTargetApi 20 – atabouraya Feb 24 '16 at 09:03
Make sure your targetSdk is set to the same thing. – Joel Dean Feb 24 '16 at 14:09
it's workaroung, not fix. targeting 23 works with build tools 23.0.3 and Gradle 2.1.0 – snachmsm Apr 11 '16 at 09:51

The bug related to renderscriptTargetApi has been fixed in gradle-plugin 2.1.0 and Build-Tools 23.0.3. Please try it out:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
    }
}


android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"
    ...
}

This answer was for me at the bottom but is the best answer since Android fixed it. – Dion Segijn Jul 31 '16 at 11:54

@atabouraya, This is bug in build tools. Please check your build tools version and if is lower than 23.0.3, update them. More info here: http://developer.android.com/intl/es/tools/revisions/build-tools.html in Build Tools, Revision 23.0.3 (March 2016)

and this is proper answer, works with Gradle 2.1.0, currently highest dev version is alpha5: `com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0-alpha5` . so at this moment we have to pick build system in alpha and newset supporting for renderscript or older render script with current stable version of Gradle. Waitng for final Gradle 2.1.0 – snachmsm Apr 11 '16 at 09:40

@atabouraya, There need to be change in build.gradle of your app

as suggested from android developer site.

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 8
        targetSdkVersion 19

        renderscriptTargetApi 18
        renderscriptSupportModeEnabled true

    }
}

Just change renderscriptTargetApi 23 to renderscriptTargetApi 20, and make sure your minSdkVersion less than 21.
