A built error "Renderscript support mode is not currently supported with target 21+" happened when my minSDKVersion is 21

Question

It is the build.gradle on project

dependencies {

    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0-alpha1'
 .....
}

It is the build.gradle on app

android {

compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '23.0.2'
defaultConfig {
    minSdkVersion 21
    targetSdkVersion 23
    .......
    //Renderscript support mode is not currently supported with renderscript target 21+
    renderscriptTargetApi 19
    renderscriptSupportModeEnabled true
}

When I built it , I met a error,

Renderscript support mode is not currently supported with renderscript target 21+

If I change minSdkVersion as 19, it can be built successfully.

But I need to set minSDKVersion as 21. Any one know what's going wrong ?

Yep, this is a bug. 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-alpha5'
    }
}


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