Answer 1

This Problem is coming because your App is supporting a lower version of SDK and in Android Studio You installed the higher version, which means if you cloned or download the app from GitHub then might be you faced this issue. solution is- go to Android Studio settings->Android SDK-> and check the lower version in which your Project is supported

I also faced the same issue today and yes i tried the R. Desai's answer but my issue didn't solve. So, to fix this issue these steps worked for me..

1. Make a new dummy project File>New>New Project & open this project in a new window.
2. Go to build.gradle(module) and copy these variables' valuecompileSdkVersion, buildToolsVersion, targetSdkVersion from new project which you have just created and paste these values in your old project.
3. Open build.gradle(project) and copy this variable's value classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle... and paste it in your old project.
4. Open gradle-wrapper.properties copy distributionUrl and paste it in your old project.

Sync & Rebuild your project.

Finally my project is working now.
