compileSdkVersion is the API version of Android that you compile against.

buildToolsVersion is the version of the compilers (aapt, dx, renderscript compiler, etc...) that you want to use. For each API level (starting with 18), there is a matching .0.0 version.

    it is reasonable to reference the source when you quote someone's answer, btw – Droidman Sep 19 '16 at 18:27
