My Android Studio not running an application on device when I press the Run button. I am currently using a Samsung A5 device. I have also tried other devices and they are not responding. I am using Windows 10 operating. the following are screenshots of a basic "FirstApp" created and the Error from the Gradle console. and Gradle Message Build.

Screenshot: I do not have reputation points to post an image but here is the link to screenshot showing the android device I am running on.

  • Did you check http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35937875/unsupported-major-minor-version-52-0-when-rendering-in-android-studio? – Trinimon Jul 25 '16 at 10:09
  • If you don't edit this post it won't get answered, I am afraid. – kalabalik Jul 25 '16 at 10:52

    @Trinimon thanks I checked the link you provided it worked. I followed the answer provided by "karan-vs" where I changed buildToolsVersion from "24.0.0" to "23.0.3". and it just worked. – Charles Chamusi Jul 25 '16 at 11:42
